Ratings: Why not "The Worst" for a change instead of "The Best"?

Magazines such as "Strickly Slots" often have articles on casinos
mainly talking about the "Best" of the Best. Best Video Poker, Best
Slots, Best Buffet, etc.

For a change, wouldn't it be nice to have an article that highlights
the "Worst" of the casinos such as "Worst Video Poker", "Worst Slots",
etc.?

If the casino management sees or reads this article and finds out
their casino is in the "Top Ten" of the list, something "Good" may
happen!!! Maybe?

Wishful thinking!

"Casino Player" and "Strictly Slots" depend on casino advertisement for
revenue. Don't expect them to publish anything which might offend
current or potential future advertisers.

Too bad. There would have to be several nuanced
categories for worst smell alone. The Plaza would
win my vote with the following description;
"A combination of urine-soaked hobo and stale bacon
grease with just a piquant of overflowing ashtray."

They could also be sued for libel. Of course, if you want to go to
court, you could try to prove they were really the worst.

Could I nominate the Harrah's Prairie Band Casino as the smokiest
casino outside Nevada? Several people, including me, have resorted to
masks. It also helps at the bar because they no longer ask me every
15 minutes if I want a drink. "No, I will get up and walk to the
beverage dispenser and get my own." They do still have annoyingly
good service.

"be sued for libel" really?
How come they don't sue when they see the Top 10 Best Of surveys or
ratings, if they know for sure or think that they should be in the
Top 10 Best of something?

If the magazine articles says something like "according to a
poll/survey... or approximately 5,000 people voted ..... " and the
following are on the top of the list for "Worst" categories.

How do they come out with the "Top 10" or "Best Video Poker"
category? I'm sure the magazine(s) didn't make them up...

Who wouldn't want to be in the top 10(based on poll or personal
opinion)? Not included in the top 10 can't be libel, but being
included in a bottom 10 list can.

As for magazines/trusted sources making things up, several recent news
items come to mind. A local Kansas City free paper, the Pitch, has
been "alleged" to have their reporters make up top whatever
categories. They allegedly got paid a certain amount for each
category they made up. I take top 10 list as mere personal opinion or
your milage may vary. I know several people here like MSS, I
personally have never been treated very good there(slow poor service)
and MSS would never show up in one of my top 10 whatever lists.

Or like Dan Rather's forged Bush documents.(Is this negative or factual?)

Besides, the casinos have the money and could easilly shut me down
even if I didn't really break any laws. Why take a chance with a
bottom 10 column.

Not that I wouldn't want to see the list of smokiest casinos so I
could make sure to bring a mask.

With respect that CP and SS editorial content is strictly advertiser-driven--wouldn't it be appropriate to have ratings for the best whores?
