Casinos trying to make up for Covid on our dime

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

At Bally's AC, the bank of four 9/6 DDBAF (99.46) went from 10:1 TC to 50:1. Very difficult to accumulate at the quarter level. A shame, but at least they didn't downgrade the paytable.
It’s 20:1 in all Caesars properties as of today.

The triple play 9/6 job in Bally’s is also 20:1 if you want to build points.

as one that doesn't always think the casinos are 100% on the up and up, especially the RNG, it would be unusual for me to take their side. but, with a shutdown, more expensive precautionary measures, closed down machines and likely less customers and less money being wagered, what are they supposed to do?

seems it would be expected the holds would increase. personally, just for the sake of having something do when i need to get out of the house, i may not like it, but understand it.

See the sticker down below - $20 equals 1 tier credit. There are couple of machines in each property.

The $50:1 is for quarter machine, either you have to bet 10 credits or it's DB progressive machines betting 15 credits. There is no point of not playing $1 denomination. There are $1 9/6 JoB single hand with $20:1 in all these properties.

I was worried that you had seen a blanket statement that said ALL Caesars properties are now $20 per tier credit, including not just Atlantic City ones. I guess I'll find out for myself (if we ever get to cross the border again).

I was replying under the context of "Bally's AC", so yeah, I mean all AC's properties of Caesars

Personally Notes, I don’t have much sympathy for the casinos. They try about every trick in the book to keep you there, waste money constantly, usually are heavily in debt, ( at least the Ct casinos are), and pull out huge sums of money for the owners or tribal members. And probably no rainey day fund. Granted, none of the China Virus is their fault, guess I am used to operating or saving businesses a bit differently than casinos operate. If I owned one, the first thing I would put in would be big easy to read clocks to remind folks..... when it is time to go home or do something important leave and go do it. There is always tomorrow to come back. You wouldn’t believe the lunatic drivers I see leaving the casino because they are way late for something. And so many fatal accidents n the area. Many of course alcohol or sleep deprived related. I just missed a really bad one the other day by 100 feet. Guy in front of me fell asleep mid day, hit the Jersey barrier, rolled twice, then shot across I 95 in my lane and into a guard rail. Missed me by 100 feet. Luckily all airbags went off and saved him. Just shaken up. Had left casino 20 minutes prior. And yes, I had my Guardian Angel coin in my pocket.

Agreed. Casino business doesn’t have to be dirty or sin business like most people think. It can be a great entertainment business that everyone loves and enjoys and won’t get financially hurt as well. Coz they don’t have to force people to develop gambling problem in order to run the business at all.

Some innovative pioneer needs to be leading the remodeling casino as a completely different business.
