I don't do the casino commercials, Bob does. So I'm not really sure why you addressed this to me. Anyway here is Bob's reply.
FROM BOB:
The webcast talks of more than 10,000 GAMES over 99% payback. You seem to be confusing this with MACHINES. They are not the same. If one machine has 8/5 Bonus, 9/7 Double Bonus, 9/6 Jacks, and NSU Deuces for 25 cents, 50 cents, $1 and $2, this counts as 16 games over 99% --- although only one machine.
I write the ads myself and read them on the air. The text definitely says GAMES, although it's conceivable I misspoke and said MACHINES. On what particular date(s) do you think this error occurred?
The South Point (which is the correct spelling --- not Southpoint) has been claiming "more than 10,000 games returning more than 99%" for more than a year. Those of us who have been in the place know that. I don't think the distinction between GAMES and MACHINES is too subtle for most players --- although your post indicates that this isn't true for everyone. I apologize for confusing you.
