Non-baccarat table games were down 11% on 10.5% less betting, underscoring the importance of baccarat.

respondents who have not received training in biohazards said they clean biohazards.” The study targets Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch, Palace Station and Palms Casino Resort, which happen to be—coincidence, yes?—casinos where union elections have been held. While we find a contention such as “Over half (53%) of respondents said they have experienced violence at work (physical, verbal, and/or emotional)—80% said that their supervisor was the source of the violence” cause for concern, we wonder if this is a case of selective outrage.

It also gave us a great invitation to the U.S. sports organizations, the NFL being the leading one. About 60 percent of all sports bets are NFL bets, so it’s important at several levels and we’re definitely looking to additional sponsorships. The fact that we partnered with the Jets put us on the radar for almost every sports organization you can think of and we’re in almost constant contact with a variety of them, and as the business grows we will be seeing additional deals.

Golden Nugget slid 23.5% to $21 million, as L’Auberge du Lac squeaked past with $22 million, down 10%. Isle Grand Palais shed 15% ($7 million gross) and Delta Downs was 21% off the pace with $12 million.

That was far better than Belle of Baton Rouge, a sorry $2 million and 29% freefall.
