First utilized in Atlantic City.....
Cattle roaming free on the boardwalk. Herd them in. Still more cattle
roaming free on the boardwalk. Slaughter the first batch quickly and effortlessly
so that they can bring in more cattle to repeat the process.
The only thing missing on the strip now is the boardwalk. Perhaps is the
monorail would function well and consistently, they could substitute that.

Most people say that strip casinos put in horrible pay schedules to
increase profits, but I disagree, I think this is another in a long
line of idiotic casino management decisions. I give a nod to that
excellent Frugal Friday column a few weeks back discussing vp player
gripes and management ineptitude.
My thesis is as follows. Most visitors to Las Vegas limit play
because bankroll issues not time constraints, does anyone sleep in
Vegas. I have never seen strip casinos close to capacity as far as vp
inventory is concerned, this does happen at local casinos around the
country. So all casinos achieve with lousy pay-schedules is beating
the visitors out of their money quicker. If the players could play
longer on the same bank-roll I'm sure it would be a more enjoyable
experience, and hence would foster greater loyalty, return visits.
This would be true across all level of players, from optimal to
totally uninformed players. A rising pay-schedule lifts all players.
Loosen pay-schedules means 99+% not necessarily 100+%, why would
strip casinos want to deal with those who try to earn a living at VP.
Same goes for blackjack, bring back decent rules and 1 1/2 blackjack
pays, just use auto shufflers after each hand, if you're not counting
cards it doesn't matter, if you are, you're not playing at my model
casino.
