Agreed 100% A win for most players is a short term loan. Even the
seasoned player will return to the machine that gave them a royal
last week. Give the player a fair deal and he will be back. One
just has to look toward live bj. The casino has to make the game
good enough to keep the not so good player in the game enough to
have some fun. As a result, casino has to put up with the counter or
those who think they are counters. I believe the last 2 cancel each
other out.
The problem today is the casinos are operated by suits that are just
bean counters. In the old days most casinos were operated by
gamblers. How could aa non gambler really understand all there is to
know about running a casino?

There is no simple yes / no answer. A number a factors, including
the
customer mix, additional benefits, all overhead costs and,
possibly
others, all need to be considered when deciding whether to offer
looser games. However, in most cases today casinos could increase
profitability by offering better games but not by offering games
that
would give the store away ($+ FPDW etc.)
Unfortunately, it is my experience that most gaming managements
are
not interested in developing modern business metrics to determine
how
to maximize income.
