Well Mark being a gambler myself and knowing something about gambling more than speculation I have to disaggree with you. That is why the market is so liquid because of differences of opinion. Also by your words people will continue to lose their money and casino will continue to take it just because of the way you think. Hope you do not gamble much if you believe the advertising. LOL Farris used my gambling system and made 18K one night if memory serves me correct. Good thing he went to an Indian reservation casino. GB

Mark...come on...are you trying to convince us that Casinos do not make money?? All righty then... I've been to plenty of casinos in my time, and none of them appeared to be hurting. You can get away with truth in advertising when you have a few machines with a 99% payout. But...the kicker is, they start the day with an empty machine, and it is up to the player to find it. At the end of the night, there is about 1% of the quarters pumped in all day remaining in it. For the rest of the casino's events, it's business as usual. Maybe you should try going to casinos that are closer to sea level. I think the thin air in Nevada may have distorted your judgement. Not trying to slam, but .... Casinos don't make high profits??? Please! Who are you trying to kid? Binder

Mark: I am a new shareholder. I would like to point out something you may or may not be overlooking. With slots, the % payout doesn't matter that much. People never leave with the money. They stay until it's all gone. With a high % payout, it just takes longer to get it all. The only people who leave with money are the HUGE jackpot winners. And that doesn't really cost the house anything because it's the players money. The Blackjack is a liitle different, because you're playing against the house.With Blackjack, the house knows that some table are going to be losers, but they usually have enough winning tables that they end up in the plus side. Casinos don't lose money in the gaming rooms, they lose it with perks they give away, advertisement etc. Once they get the people in, they make money. Once a person sits down at that slot machine, he's a goner. And if by some chance he wins 100 bucks, he's right back there the next night giving it all back. If slots were such a losing propisition..why in the world are their so many of them..I am not posting this as a "flame", I wanted to express my thoughts on this. al
