MS revenue was up 3.8% while foxwoods was down 5%. No way are we going to get points for decent vp.

ms revenue
Not unexpected. Look at the fools playing those $5 a spin "penny" machines in a packed joint on weekends.
We were an irritant to them. They are happy to be rid of us.

Another article to the effect that slots have tightened as handle drops:
Great article quote by MS CEO:
"...We've been taking games off and putting other games on," Mohegan Sun CEO Jeffrey Hartmann said..."
Slot machine hold jumped to the 8.5 percent range from 7.9 percent.
That can't be done too many times :-). We're in those numbers somewhere as part of the total bet delcine while hold increasing.
This compares to Vegas numbers of a Feb report:
http://www.arausa.com/lasvegas/pdf/LV%20Strip%20Casinos%20Notch%204.1%20percent%20Win%20Increase%20in%202010.pdf
"...The board said Strip casinos posted a "hold" of 7.2 percent on slot machine bets, up 0.13 percent....The board reported downtown Las Vegas casinos had a slot win hold of 6.3 percent, off 0.13 percent...For the year, Laughlin casinos had a 7.1 percent hold on the amount bet on slot machines, a gain of 0.26 percent...."
We just booked a week in Nevada for November 2nd. $322 RT pp Boston on Jet Blue.
This episode with Mohegan appears closed for us.
