Along with 6-5 Blackjack, poor video poker pay tables, now the Vegas strip is tightening up their slots.
The most glaring number from last month's stats are the quarter slots. Now these numbers fluctuate from month to month but last month the quarter slots on the strip paid out at 90%!!! That's by far the lowest I have ever seen for their quarter slots. By comparison the balance of county which is the Rio, Palms, Orleans, etc. was 95%.
This isn't shocking after seeing their profits decline month after month and their stocks bottoming out. Although there is much more to Vegas than gambling and there will still be plenty of people flocking there, they had better be careful how far they go to squeeze the consumer.
I will be there in 3 weeks and I can promise you I won't put a dime in a slot machine on the strip. I'll pay a $5 cab fare and get a better value.
