This may be more of a "corporate" mandate, but I was thinking about the recent renovations to some Downtown spots. After an upgrade to places like The Plaza, GG and D, do they normally tighten up the slots?
It would seem appropriate if they need to start recouping renovation losses, and a new look means more traffic. However, tighter slots could be a drawback if a guest is checking out a casino, loses big and walks out having a bad experience.
Now, on the opposite end, if an upgraded casino floor keeps things loose during the first few months after opening, guests have fun, win a little and have an overall positive feeling.
This is my marketing mind thinking out loud
