All you have to do is fill your casinos with games over 100% that
can be
beaten
with knowledgeable play & you'll make a fortune! What a concept.
as long as you don't allow the few good players and teams to control
machines (preventing average players from getting on) you can make
money, because the good players attract lots of average players, the
average players lose money, either due to play mistakes or being
underbankrolled
there is an optimum point of max casino profit, and it's probably
with roughly +1% (*with optimum play*) machines, because they will
get heavy play
if there's only a few machines with say more than +2% they will get
locked up by pros/teams
if all machines are negative (including comps) the play will drop way
down, even the average/poor players will notice that their dollars
don't go as far
if a casino next door has looser games it doesn't take long for all
players good and poor to notice, right now there are too many casinos
and not enough gamblers, casinos simply have to compete
in addition, certain games are difficult to play anyway and this
restricts the universe of accomplished players: double bonus, all
american, 2 pair or better joker
if i were running a casino i'd go with all american, after a year or
so i'd expect to see a profit dropoff as players begin to learn the
game, then i'd switch to something like 2 pair joker ... there are
many tricks that can be employed, such as alternating full pay and
short pay machines next to each other, you pick off people who aren't
aware of paytables that way ... i would definitely make end machines
short pay because people favor them (like an airline isle seat) ...
another good example is quarter full pay deuces, most people don't
know how to play that game or are underbankrolled and when they learn
they generally move on to something with more earning potential
