I believe the above writer, Homer, is correct when he writes The local casinos made the decision to give us locals the shaft several years ago. They conspired with IGT to change the way slots/video poker machines work. They changed the way the RNG functions which changed the payout without the casino execs having to get permission from the Gaming Commission to change the payout odds on any given machine. They did this on the local's favorite game, video poker. Now there is no, or very little play. These machines play differently and pay much less. Locals would go to a csino with confidence that they could sit and play for a few hours with a $100 bill. Eat a simple meal, and go home happy. This is impossible now. A player has to bring at least $300 to be able to spend some time in the casino. The hot place to play now is the Indian casinos along the Eastern Coast. From New York to Florida, people are playing and enjoying their time. And the benefits offered by the players clubs are 1000 times more generous. A friend in Florida gets $200 freeplay a week and plays about a third as much as I ever did in this town.
Good luck, Everyone,
