EXPAND your KNOWLEDGE about gaming in general and Blackjack in particular:
Gaming is all about money. BJ is a money game played with cards. Revenue is what drives the industry.
Casino revenue in A.C. is continuing to slide.
The lowest BJ "hold" was at Trump Plaza. A very soft 6.5%
The highest BJ "hold" was at Trump Marina. A hefty 16.3%
Borgata earned an impressive 9.7 Million on their BJ games.
Trump Plaza earned a paltry 1.1 Million on their BJ games.
At CRAPS Caesars LOST $886,399 on a "drop" of 19.8 million dollars. [-4.5%]
At BACCARAT Resorts lost -8%. ($19,702) on $246,575; but their mini-baccarat tables "held" 11.3% to earn $1.1 million dollars.
At BACCARAT The Tropicana lost $13,427 on a "drop" of $448,035 for a hold of -3.00%; but their mini-baccarat tables held 9% of $8,000,000.
At BACCARAT Trump Marina held a not amazing (due to small "drop") 71.9% on their Big Bacc' while their mini-bacc' held 24.2%
At the high-limit SLOTS the best performer was Trump Plaza, where the $100 slot machines lost an awesome $138,078 on a "drop" of just $227,000. for a net loss of 60.8% !
At the high-limit slots the next best performer was The Showboat, where the $25 slots lost $7,234 on a "drop" of $448,035 for a net loss of -3.0%
I am going to note the net win for the BJ games, followed by total casino win at The Trop' as that relates to the title of this forum thread:
Nov. 2.57 million -- total: 26.0 million
Dec. 2.31 million -- total: 24.0 million
Jan. 2.04 million -- total: 24.7 million
Feb 1.94 million -- total: 18.3 million
The trend is painfully clear.
If they were in financial straits before they are in quicksand now.
