Maybe you can reinvent the slot machine,by adding alot more games with fewer payouts. Heck, you can even take the jackpot lites off the top of your machines,Ya surely don't use them anymore.I got it ! How about a ten window reel,with 100 combinations, with a 5 dollar max.
Heres the trick, ya just put 1 cherry on each of the reels,and the rest of them blank.When the cherries line up,you win your bet back. Sounds fun? That will get folks to play more often. Even better, how about putting in a credit card slot,so folks won't care about how much they play, or how much money they have just dropped.
I mean, cmon ! Gamblers like us want options.You build it.....they will come. (Ha Ha).

Ladies & Gentlemen,
Could it be that now the people who used to enjoy the slots,are realizing ya just can't hit on these machines anymore.They added bonuses,free spins,and a ton of extras. Bottom line is that jackpots are rare,if not extinct.
The locals are no longer interested in the enjoying such tight machines,on top of the exspensive meals offered.And don't get me going on the comps! I'd like to see the tax slips for the last 1-5 yrs,compared to the ones before that.That would pretty much give you a idea on how much greed the casinos have sucked out of people who enjoy gambling,especially the locals who support these on a daily basis.These are the folks who spend money on a regular basis.And they are now realizing that its such a waist.You used to be able to spend some quality time on 100.00.Now they don't even let you sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee with it.Let alone finding the only waitress thats running the whole floor.
Congrats Ceo's, you rocket scientists have found such a unique way to discourage people from coming to your casino's.And guess whos the blame?
the Economy? I don't think so. Show the folks just who's winning. Show us the these tax slips that people used to win, compared to the last 5 yrs. That pretty much sums it up. I personally have eliminated a few casinos, that i refuse to play anymore because of such greed. And they just don't understand what created Las Vegas in the 1st place.The rooms are so expensive on the strip. It used to be that they would let you rest your head for a few hours, so you can spend it on gambling,food,souveniers, what ever your heart desired. Now, its sucked up in room rates,that ordinary famlies cannot afford much of anything else.Until these decision makers bring back what had created Vegas in the 1st place, you we see declining revenues everywhere.
Instead of maintaning what you already own, lets go out a build more empty rooms and tight machines.That will be the answer.

Well, there losses surely is not coming from payouts on machines. I've already had it set in my mind to never play there again.Nothing but pure rip off. Maybe if these casinos realize that they need customers,and your surely not going to pull them in without giving some realistic cash back once in a while. Its not the customers fault, that these guys are in debt up to their eyebrows.

How about letting Ruffin make his speech. No 50.00 customers needed. That should bring em in.Besides, I think its alittle too late.People have caught on about Las vegas Gambling. They're so tight, they squeek.Got a sister in law that used to come out at least once a yr.Spends alot of money on 25 cent machines, never hit any thing good in her 4 days here.She even tried the locals off the strip.Seeing how much she dropped made me sick, but she can afford it.She'll never come back, because of how vegas has changed from gambling to ripoff.She didn't tell me nothing new, and I live here.And we sure can't hit anything.But i know whos winning, the Ceo's.Good luck in the recovery, but until you start giving some of the money back in slots,people will gamble at their hometown casino's. That a Fact.

Did you say you don't want the $50.00 a night person here? Lmao,has it ever occured to you that these folks probably enjoy spending more money on gambling,food, and intertainment than resting there heads on a bed? But wait! I get it now. Lets let the 50.00 a night person stay at motel 6,and hope they stop in your casino and play,eat.At least for me,when i come out to vegas,most of my money is spent at the casino i stay at.But thats ok,you guys keep up with that mindset.But just remember, i hope what he said does get out to all the folks who enjoys vegas.Thats a fine way to attract folks to come out and enjoy.Ya just might be living on that Pirate ship with that concept.Don't forget your life vest.
