More profit for the casino will also be dependent on their acceptance by
customers -- just offering poker for a lower cost to the house will NOT be
enough if they lose their customers.

I stand by the convo I had with a card room manager. I said "Thousands of
Internet only poker players will swoop down on card rooms with automated
tables. He corrected me "Tens of thousands."
What if one major group like Boyd took the lead and converted to all
automated. Imagine state wide tourneys interlinked. Imagine the WSOP prelims played
at Boyd casinos and the final few tables at the Horseshoe. Imagine the number
of players and prize money if WSOP hooked up on automated tables all over
the world. Imagine sitting at your seat and being able to play many more poker
games ,sit and goes or cash or what ever while you were in the game shown on
the center screen. Imagine pressing a button to summon a cocktail waitress, or
food. Imagine toggling to another part of your screen to watch a sports
event, Channel 8 News, horse race or make bets on sports. Imagine the
politicians, same ones who banned offshore poker, realizing they could squeeze the
"nuts" of Poker Stars and put them out of business by allowing onshore USA poker
Internet sites [reaping tax $$$$$$] with games linked all over the country.
You ever heard of PowerBall?
I mean if Boyd got the the deal rolling now they'd knock out Stations while
Stations is still increasing radio ads trying to interest ploopies on the
dust gathering Guaranteed Play things. "All your favorite games and paytables.
And you could be one of the happy smiling faces you see on the sides of our
busses holding the same packs of dough. No they aren't actors. No sir eee bob.
They are real winners. WE WANT YOU TO WIN."
OK , I'll stop.
