FLOORMAN'S
ANTENNAE
Many players
don't know how to take advantage of the floorman and what
he can offer. In those casinos where he’s not outwardly
hostile to all winners, a floorman is prepared offer certain
amenities to players.
This service
really costs the casino nothing, since they deduct the expense
of free meals from their immense profits. They satisfy their
customers, who will, in all probability, remain in a casino
games that comps them and be happy to play again at its
tables.
Few gamblers
realize that they can get free meals, free shows, and other
courtesies from a casino they give moderate action to. And
a player betting with $25 chips could ask for and probably
receive a free room as well. Why not! The casino wants this
player to be around its tables at all times, and there's
a great likelihood that a gambler will play at the same
hotel-casino he's staying at.

TREATMENT
TO CASINO GAMBLER
Another reason for these casinos using electronic g, other
than the fact that they are made for gamblers with funds,
is the skill factor. Many of these electronic games quire
little or no skill. A slot machine, no matter how gaudy it
looks with its multitudinous payoffs, is operated by pulling
a handle or pressing a button. The machine engages and either
shows a winner or, more probably, another loss. The loss is
one to five coins, depending on the machine, and there constant
payouts to keep the bettor engaged. In the long run he or
she will lose to the house, but the losses will be limited.
To further entice people, the casinos constantly advertise
that they have the "loosest slots" or the "best
payouts." In addition to these enticements, some of the
payouts can be monumental. "Quartermania" machines
and "Megabuck" slots pay a million or several million
dollars to the lucky jackpot winner.
The players these casinos welcome are the "grinds"
in the gambling business-small-time players who never make
big bets and who are slowly ground down by the casino advantage.
Of all the people who gamble these are the best for any casino
in the long run. They will never make a big win, except for
the lightning bolt big money jackpot, and if they do win moderate
amounts while playing, their constant play will eventually
return the wins to the casino. No matter how big the casino,
no matter how opulent, these players give the house the bread
and butter money that accounts for a good percent-age of its
profits. These players are never discouraged from the casino. |
