I wonder if this is a sign than the casinos cannot just keep increasing
their edge on certain games without the public reacting. I would think
this would be a good thing for VP pay tables.

"Play on the blackjack tables on the Strip was down 4.1 percent; craps
win rose 14 percent; roulette was up 8.8 percent; baccarat posted a
31.2 percent increase; keno revenues were down 14.7 percent; gross win
from the sports pool rose 23.1 percent"
The question is how much did the casinos make on the game. *IF* they
have single deck 6/5 games @ $5 and $10 a hand, BUT they took away $25
a hand 3/2 games to make them they might have 4.1% less play based on
$ value but have made 10% more profit. Do you have a link to the rest
of the article?
Also with the more drunk/party people going to the clubs in LV now
craps/roulette/baccarat which require very little or no thinking on
the part of the player become more popular. Lets be honest, I can be
too drunk to play VP, I can be to drunk to read, never mind follow, a
basic strat card for BJ, but I can always put a chip on the red #1 on
a roulette table. Heck, if I'm too drunk to put the chip there the
nice dealer will do it for me as I lie on the floor......
