Yea, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express a few years ago.
Sheet...me too!!
“I went to Atlantic city in its prime and they stripped me of may cash as fast as they could and very little free alcohol. I did not feel inclined to ever go back. “
The mountain casinos in Colorado work exactly the same way. And you’re right, I could go to Vegas and lose a little bit of money slowly over a couple of days and have a great time. The Colorado casinos just take it all in a few minutes. I think i went one time and then never went back.
I haven’t spent much time in casinos and have only been in one in Atlantic City once. How do they take money faster than casinos in other places? Just curious......
Slot machines that never pay out is one way.
Stingy “freebies” (drinks), over priced buffets and restaurants.
I don’t play, so I’m guessing there are more ways than that.
“How do they take money faster than casinos in other places?”
I’m talking about how “loose” the slot machines are, that is, what percentage of your money do they return over a given period of time. Discounting the really rare “jackpot”, a slot machine that returns 95% of your money on average over time can be played a LOT longer before going bust than one that takes 89%.
Was he a conservative before that day? Is he now?
No fun.
ah, got it, thanks.... I had seen the expression “loose” slots in ads but I didn’t know if there was anything to it or not....
thanks for the education! heh heh
