Plus they several casinos are on the selling block you have to boast the numbers to get any price. But I still think the best thing is for one or three to fold so the rest can make sustained good offers and not the stunt of the day.

They have to compete in the AC/PHL marketplace or leave. Empty or near empty casinos are a lot more expensive than giving gamblers freeplay or loss rebates. Eventually there will be contraction with fewer casino owners, but in the meantime it's to the advantage for the little properties to promote gambling so they get a better buyout price from the big guys. Right now it's all about market share, the big payouts will come later. The smart casino operators understand this. Of course the ideal situation for a casino is to have a local monopoly, or duopoly like the Vegas strip. AC/PHL will eventually get there, if the regulators allow it. But right now it's in the market share grabing phase. The losers will be the ones that lose market share.
