Kinda funny. Living in an RV is one of those surreal circumstances were you just hitch up, move out, and wake up to your digs the same as they were when you were miles away. That’s what happened yesterday. In my last post I said I’d be in Vegas until I left for the trip [...]

How Slot Machine Settings Are Made By Casino Management
Date: Sun, Jul 27, 2008 Internet
I've often said that I don't understand how the people who run big businesses arrive at the decisions they make and I still don't.
For example, there's no doubt that the United States is undergoing a recession, despite what the President says.
People are losing their jobs, houses, cars, and filing for bankruptcy in record numbers, all of which means that there is less discretionary income to go around.
One would think that because of this we'd see across the board price drops, and in some industries we are, but some businesses are actually raising prices.
Note that I'm not referring to staples such as food which is going up in price for a variety of reasons.
We're talking about money that is used for pastimes such as golf, and fishing, or things such as dress up clothing and accessories that are bought only because the consumer likes them.
Into this category one can also place funds that are used to bankroll gambling.
With fewer gambling dollars to go around why is it then, that there is a move afoot by some casinos to lower a slot player's chance of winning? This, in effect, raises the price of playing slot machines.
One would think that the casino owners would "loosen" the slots to encourage players to drop more coin but that's not the case with the Grand Victoria Casino's slot machines.
They want to squeeze more profit out of the fewer players in their slot department, and as I said, I never could understand how big business works.
Here's some additional information on how slot machines are set up as to control how much and how often they pay out.
Have fun and good luck!

Fierce Competition For Macau Slot Machine Players
Date: Fri, Jul 25, 2008 Internet
As is the case in most of the rest of the world's casinos, particularly those in Las Vegas, slot machines are by far one of the most popular gaming attractions.
While player traffic in Las Vegas has decreased the opposite is happening at Macau's casinos and the race is on among them to bring in new gamblers, and retain existing customers.
Here's an update on slot machine activity in Macau's casinos and information about new incentives being offered to slot players.
This article discusses the general gambling situation in Macau and the efforts being made to increase slot play to a point where it is as popular as Baccarat.
