Harrahs hurting

The St. Louis Post today reported for the month of April Harrah's revenue declined from 27.2 million to 23.0 million from a year ago, a drop of
-15.5%.

Ameristar, their principal competitor, increased from 24.9 million to 25 million for the same period, a gain of .5%. Very interesting.

The first time in a long time that Harrahs has made me smile.

It looks like Harrah's has decided to solve their financial crunch by
lowering some paytables. In the bank of 8 slant-tops which had 8/5
BP, the paytables on the side nearest the entrance have been
lowered. BP is now 7/5, JOB is 8/5 and DB is 9/6. I think it's 9/6/5
on the DB, but I was too disgusted to take full note.

The four machines on the other side still have the original
paytables, but can they be far behind?

A friend of mine will play the 9/5 JOB slant-tops over near the bank
of 99%+ machines, if she can't get on the 9/6 JOB. (She doesn't play
a whole lot, so she only knows JOB strategy, and she's not THAT picky
about paytables.) She pointed out to me that those machines all
appear to be 8/5 JOB now. We couldn't look at very many of them,
since it was crowded that evening--don't know if it's all of them or
not.

Lord only knows what they've done to the slot paybacks!
