More Money for Casinos, Less for Patrons

Those that play the slot machines at the casinos are going to find that they are almost being penalized for still playing. The casinos, in an effort of trying to bring in more money in a doomed economy, have tightened their slot machines so that they are paying out less money.

Slot machines are already the number one money maker for the casinos, so they know that if they change their payouts – even from 85% to 90% they are going to reap the benefits to the tune of millions of dollars. With less people playing the slot machines at the casinos, they have to make their money somewhere.

But where does that leave those that are still playing? Well, they are basically making up for those that are not playing. For everyone that is not spending money at the slot machines, those that are have to make up for those others.

The casinos know that people will still keep playing the slot machines. Those that are partial to them won’t change to another game, so they know that if they are going to gamble, they are going to play the same game.

Many won’t even realize that they have changed. For those people that don’t play all that often they won’t really see the change. But for those that play often enough that they can judge how much their monthly wins and losses will be on average, they will see less money coming in overall.
