My Response/Rant/Lesson

I have no knowledge one way or the other on that charge. However, your
publishing articles in the trade press about how to defeat advantage players
is unforgivable.

I won't share what emotions I had when I read Part II of Bob Dancer's
article in the IGT rag, helping casinos keep even more of my dough.
But it was an eye opener.

One thing keeps resonating in my thinking and that is the old saying:

"It is impossible to serve two masters."

IGT does not publish anything, is this casino player or strictly slots?

There was a magazine for casino executives. I think it was published
by the same outfit (casino player?strictly slots.) Would someone else
please jog my memory?

It has been a very long time since Casino Journal and Casino Player
were jointly owned.

OK so where do I find Part I and II of this article everyone is
talking about? I have read the Dec 12 piece on the Caesar's
downgrade. I can personally attest that Ballys and Paris made
numerous downgrades at the same time, having nothing to do with
Bob's column. Harrah's does not need or want VP players at all of
certainly not good ones, they are getting bought out at a huge
premium, do you think they think they have need VP players?

It has been a very long time since Casino Journal and Casino

Player

were jointly owned.

It's called "The Inside Straight" and is a trade publication sent to the marketing departments
of casinos that have IGT machines.

Below is a link to the issue that contains part 2 of Dancer's article entitled "Beware of Smart
Players" (page 3). It's in pdf format.
