Absolutely ridiculous. Why not just make half the wheel green zeroes at this point?

<i>In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it's like checkin' into an airport. And if you order room service, you're lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it's all gone. </i>

100% accurate. Not that long ago, Vegas would at least make players feel welcome. Today, they aren't satisfied unless they vacuum every single patron's wallet completely empty.

What's your take on it...casino struggling or just more simple greed?

strip is becoming a place where most who play (other than high limits) are once or twice a year gamblers who don’t really pay attention and will sit down at lower limit games with spaces open regardless of how shitty the odds are. So my take is they are just taking advantage of uninformed “buyers”....and it will continue as long as suckers keep being suckers!

I was in Vegas last week, and I can say there is so much do to there, the strip is like one giant theme park. But Reno is far better if you're into Gambling. Im not playing 6/5 black jack. couldn't do it when I get 3/2 here on a single deck. Plus Vegas seem to be behind when it comes to tech. Our players card systems are far better than what I experienced in Vegas.

A smart casino should market a "no-juice" triple zero wheel.

have three 0s (0, 00, and 000) and payout 38-1 on ALL numbers.

(the edge is in the other bets)

As of a couple of years ago, there used to be a single zero wheel at Paris. Not sure if its still there.

I can't believe people are stupid enough to play that, might as well just light your money on fire and call it a day.

Reno, Nv. seems the place for one with limited resources... Yes or No?

Yes, it could be. Don't need as big of a bank roll and better odds. Its like if you traveled back in time to Vegas of the 1990's. Still get all the major shows like standup comedy, good music, good buffets free alchohol ect. Reno doesn't have that Disney feel like Vegas does. My kids had a great time in Vegas and loved it.

The 3 green coverage bet will draw attention from the casual bettor. They will think it's a new concept to the game,

I remember the good ol days when a few places had 100X odds for craps, use to run across the street to the Casino Royale to get 100X odds

Golden nugget had a good one too.

Downtown has 10X and 20X, but on the strip you will find 3,4,5
