OK, so how about this...

I had everything to do with those 25c/50c/$1 FPDW, etc. machines

Ah, excellent, then you clearly have an "in" with Wynn executives. Since the previous FPDW experiment was successful for them, hopefully they'll be amenable to trying additional methods to increase their profits.

So even though they were very good moneymakers but with the
expected lower margin (I saw the reports) the games and/or pay tables
were lowered/removed.

Therein lies the beauty of my proposal -- their margins will go UP, not down!

Summarizing my proposal again: on Wynn's bank of $10/$25/$100 slant-tops that include 9/6 JOB, suggest changing one machine to REDUCE 9/6 JOB to 8/5 JOB, and another to add FPDW. In other words, change a pair of machines at the same time.

This will obviously provide increased margin to the casino: the 8/5 JOB is +2.2% to the house (relative to 9/6 JOB), while the FPDW is only -1.2% to the house (relative to 9/6 JOB), so in aggregate the casino's profit margin across that bank of games will INCREASE, since the FPDW won't get played much (per your statement). This should of course be appealing to the Slot Manager, who can easily earn extra money for his casino while even claiming to have improved the video poker offerings!

While my initial suggestion only touched two machines (for trial purposes), of course they can apply this strategy to as many pairs of machines as they like, in whatever denominations they like, once they're satisfied with the increased profit.

Since you have good relations with Wynn execs, please feel free to represent this proposal as your own, I don't mind. Thanks for your support!

You need to better understand business Joe. Profit will go up and
margins will go down.

tops that include 9/6 JOB, suggest changing one machine to REDUCE

9/6

JOB to 8/5 JOB, and another to add FPDW. In other words, change a
pair of machines at the same time.

8/5

Apparently you missed my initial input that you should really want to
verify with Wynn if possible, on why the 25c-$1 FPDW machines had
their pay tables lowered: Conflict and undesireable looking people
sitting at them 24 hours a day. If you've been in the Wynn HL room
you'd see right away there's no way they'd accept such slugs in
there. Adding $10-$100 FPDW will do very little to change the traffic
in their room. There's lots of big talkers around and few who could
or would risk that much money.

If you want to help, you might step in and help mickeycrimm out of
his apparent crash & burn or whatever it's called. He's an
introverted loner with no home and no loving family to step in when
he really needs one, so such a gesture would probably gets you
nominated for the vpFREE HoF next time around.
