Steve Zanella from MGM tries to compare server-based gaming to coinless ticket-in ticket-out (TITO) technology, saying that he expects the public to embrace the technology.

TITO had advantages for the gambler. No waiting on empty hoppers, fewer hand-pays, no dirty coins to handle, etc. I'm not sure that I see big advantages for the gambler when the house has the ability to tweak payout percentages on a whim.

The old wives' tale of "they make the machines tighter on the weekends" may actually now become reality with this technology. How does that appeal to the average gambler? Why would the average gambler embrace this technology?
