IGT Advantage Player Tracking 2.01.07

#1

I stopped by Barley's Casino today and was walking around looking at the games. They have converted to the new Stations system where when you insert your player card a window opens on the left of the screen to show your points etc. When this window is closed there is usually an open/close icon followed by the word welcome. I noted on one machine instead of the word welcome the slot tech must have messed up the setup and it was alternating between the messages "IGT" "Advantage Player Tracking" "version 2.01.07". This was on a game that had a top denomination of $5 video poker. I wonder how wide spread this system is and how accurate it is at identifying Advantage Players.

IGT Advantage is the trademark of their player tracking system. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Interesting. Good old IGT now part of GTECH in merger. Little bit hard to cypher who actually

owns IGT. Looks like buying or merging and flying IGT flag. Anyway, such a convoluted deal.

I read IGT profits going lower . I wonder, profits go down and businesses raise prices. They figure ways

to squeeze more $$ from folks. Then folks quit playing, buying or using product. Of course casinos need

player advantage tracking?? Seems to me, more they study, less $$ they make… Look at where the

industry has put itself…

To sum up, They studied long and played it wrong.

Cheers,Jeep
