“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In the case of the latter, Wynn Resorts is accused for only paying in round dollar amounts and pocketing the change. As for blackjack, Bay State rules require that 6:5 games must be played with one or two decks in the shoe but the lawsuit contends that Encore is loading up with six-shoe decks. It also asserts that, in contravention of state regulations, in which cards should be dealt face down and players are allowed to 
revenue. Wynn Resorts execs have got to be loving the slot/revenue mix of dollars (win/table/day of $4,151, almost triple MGM Springfield), to say nothing of the way-above-industry-average $361/win/slot/day. MGM Springfield, at $20 million for the month, has to be called a disappointment though not a flop, generating win/slot/day of a below-average $192. ($200/day is the desired average) Even if Plainridge Park grossed $13.5 million for third place (down 9%) is giving more bang for the buck than Springfield, generated slot win of $376/slot/day — better than Encore.
Unlike other Atlantic City casinos, the Caesars Entertainment trio got creamed at the tables (-21%) while slots slid 7% on 10.5% less coin-in. Leaving aside Hard Rock Atlantic City and Ocean Resort, for which no year/year comparisons were made available, Borgata had the only revenue-positive month. Hard Rock continues to solidify its new grasp on second place with $30 million, while Tropicana Atlantic City faded to $26 million, down 16%. (Eldorado Resorts better get a grip on things before this fade is out of hand.) Harrah’s Resort ($24.5 million) took a 17% knock and Golden Nugget got slammed, down 23% to $16 million. The upside for the Nugget is that it is soon to be

There’s just one casino on the table,” agreed Indiana Gaming Insight Publisher Ed Feigenbaum, alluding to

walloped, down 19%. Still, MGM commands 40% of market share in the Free State, followed by Maryland Live with 34%. The latter slipped but 2%, to $49 million. Horseshoe Baltimore got lapped, fading 18% to $19 million. Ocean Downs‘ luck finally ran out, as a string of revenue-positive months gave way to a 5% stumble and $7 million. Hollywood Perryville was off 4% to $6.5 million. Over in West Virginia, revenue was down 2% despite 5% higher winnings at the tables. Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races didn’t have good luck at the tables, down 9%, leading to a 5% overall decline.
CEO Tom Reeg to make up his mind as to whether or not he was going to sell Las Vegas Strip assets. Phil Ruffin openly covets a second Strip resort and if Planet Hollywood is out of reach, the Cosmo makes a good second choice. Speaking of seconds, jilted Caesars Entertainment suitor Tilman Fertitta is probably looking for some retail therapy. How much better might the Cosmo do if rebranded as a Golden Nugget? And even though it already has the Tropicana Las Vegas, don’t count out Penn National Gaming. If it wants a more state-of-the-art Strip resort we’d certainly understand. At any rate, those are the obvious candidates, although we wouldn’t rule out acquisitive Churchill Downs or another dark-horse candidate. After all, it must irk Full House Resorts CEO Dan Lee that he has to go out of town whenever he wants to visit one of his casinos.

You won’t see anything here you can’t readily find at M Resort or Green Valley Ranch. The buffet is solid but not outstanding (and you can only get crab legs on Tuesday), despite the stiff price: $29.95. The decor makes a fetish of the right angle, a frequently reiterated motif, softened by drop-down lighting fixtures that look like oversized Christmas balls.

The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.”—from George Washington‘s -
