I sincerely hope the casino lurkers send this email on to their
superiors.
Thanks for the love. Problem is, Compton Dancer Consulting is the
go-to firm in Vegas. I don't write (well not recently, used to blog a
bit), I don't teach (because those who can, do, those who can't...).
The suits these days aren't gamblers, they're accountants and
marketing people. Most of them wouldn't know if a flush beats a
straight. If you're working for Harrah's, they seek out people who
really don't know if a flush beats a straight. I understand why they
look for help that way, but it doesn't help their bottom line, IMHO.
I know Stations reads me and monitors this forum, we put something
innocuous out there at Red Rock shortly after it opened, a quarter BDW
progressive which probably had more meter than it should have, or more
paytable, and they downgraded the game within 48 hours of us (my blog
paladingaming.net) putting it out there. I'm pretty sure HET and MGM
suits read VPFree as well. So, they know how to find me.
If I were to take a consulting gig, it'd be for a lot more coin than
what Bob charges. But I'd make them a lot more dough than Bob would.
Putting in the right games is only the start of constructing the
equation.
These days, at dollars and up, it's rare you'd find someone who gives
up, say 1.25+ACU- on a 9-6 Jacks or NSUD. That's the problem everyone
faces these days.
So my philosophy would be to keep it fresh, keep it high paying, and
keep the sharpies off balance.
