I agree with the last Comment. Give The Sucker a far shake. Return to the $1.00 bet tables and the customer will come. Get rid of the College Grad Pit Bosses and go back to basics. The name of the industry is Gambling. Make the little guy feel important. I worked for Meyer Lansky and I owned 19 bars in N.Y.S. You need the constant player as much as you need the whale!
