As a Detroiter who has played quite a bit at Greektown I am really
amazed they're trying to pull this off. The game selection is not
that good. Nobody is beating them on a consistant basis. There's $1
Pick'em, but with .167% cashback it's worth about $3 an hour. There
is9/6 JOB and a bonus deuces progressive that pays less than %99 at
reset. Greektown announced today they're laying off 100 employess.
Their bottom line is the worst of the four casinos in this market. I
have to believe they're simply trying to improve their profit margin.
I hope the bad PR generated from this really takes it's toll. The
casinos here are a joke compared to Vegas in terms of quality of
games and comps. Personally I have really limited my play here
recently after a couple recent Vegas trips because the differences
were apparent. I almost kicked myself for giving them action I did.
The relatively limited competition here may allow them to pull this
off. I certainly hope not.
