Perhaps it’d be exiting the World Series of Poker Europe must faster and with far less bombast than he entered it.
Muddled metaphor? Compared to the 1990s, the casino industry’s image problems really aren’t that bad, especially when you consider the rapid geographical expansion of the gaming biz. But Gary Loveman is good and worried. As a friend says, he really ought to pack them in with a Global Gaming Expo stemwinder entitled, “The Stockholm Syndrome: Why Addressing the Misinformation that Plagues Gaming is our Top Priority.”
If “addressing misinformation” is Job One over at Harrah’s Entertainment‘s corporate headquarters, that’s not such great news for bondholders who have at least 19 million billion reasons to expect that they’d be at the top of Prof. Loveman’s “to-do” list. Also, the Stockholm Syndrome was coined to describe hostages who come to identify with their captors. So to whom is the casino industry in thrall and what sort of psychological transference does Loveman believe to have taken place? It sounds like that title needs to go into the shop for some rejiggering.
Davey, “19 Million reasons” or 19 BILLION ???
Mr Lovemore wishes it was million.

Mea culpa, Ziggy. My brain sometimes goes off-duty before the rest of my body.
Was Phil’s double-decker bus waiting for him at his exit, or did he take the Deuce?
I suppose Mr. Loveman could have been referring to us casino & hotel patrons as the captors to whom he is in thrall – but I doubt it.
