I just caught this online headline. I don't think this will be good news to video poker AP's. Am I wrong ? Any opinions?

Stations Buying Palms
Stations buying Palms, IMO, isn't really gonna directly effect APs much since Palms doesn't really have anything good to play. I may be wrong, though.
But in general, it's almost never good, I don't think, for a large chain to buy another property, especially an independent property like Palms.

Palms has nothing good, full pay deuces wild at .25, 10/7 DB and 10/6 DDB. At .50. You get no points on the deuces wild machines but you do on the DDB and DB.
I would not call that "nothing good"
If I am missing something please let me know but the Palms has always had very good VP choices and great rooms.

Usually the negatives outweigh the positives of one casino buying another casino.
Suppose there are two independent casinos next door to each other. They currently have independent players clubs and independent promotions. They also have to compete and do things to provide incentive to visit their location rather than their competitor.
If one of these casinos were to purchase the other, it eliminates the competition, and it could mean the players club, marketing, promotions, etc all get merged, effectively causing you to lose a playable casino.
