Casino Percentage

There's recent talk of slot machine "take", etc. I gotta ? At my home
casino in Ia. the casino percentage is posted. I think it mite be Ia.
law maybe?? It ranges from about 91.9 to 92 something. I don't pay a
whole lotta attention as I play strictly VP. But it seems like they
change that number quite frewquently, but I don't think the machines
are changed very often. I'm certainly assuming this number is strictly
slots & doesn't include VP??? But why would it change? Is this based
on the chips that are in the machines at the time? I realize penny
machines probably vary drastically from $5 machines and all that.

The casino hold statistics are quoted for a period of time ... often
for a single month. A couple of large jackpots can skew the hold
considerably -- particularly for high denom, low volume of play
machines.
