"Money won from gamblers comprised a record low share of the Nevada casino industry’s total revenue generated during the past fiscal year."
I get the sense that Mgmt just doesn't like risk, nor do they like the concept. They are so hard-headed that they don't even want to think about one person clearing a small profit. If they loosened up the 21, they'd get more action and customers would feel like they have a fair shot. Why put the vacuum cleaner to everyone's wallet and discourage people from making a return trip? Better practice would be to have the consumer experience a winning trip once in a while, only to have him salivating to come back.
Uhh. Notice the word SHARE.
It just means that tourists are spending more on other services/entertainment. That has been the trend for years since most casinos have high class restaurants, nightclubs, spas, etc. in them these days.
