That gets expensive quickly on a multi-payline machine, and I didn't see a lot of winning going on. If I get zero return on my investment, it ceases to be entertainment.
Nevada slots are required to pay 75%, keno machines less. Do you really think the tribes are so greedy to go below 75% payback? Almost all of the slot companies, especially all the bigger ones, would never sell such a low payback on their slots, it would kill their reputation in other markets, and this isn't something tribes get to set. They have to buy chip sets with a set theo payback and to change the payback they have to insert another chip. I guess someone could try to hack it, but all the slot manufacturers have gaming licenses to protect so they will be very protective to make sure this doesn't happen.

Most tribes offer quite good odds and compete on having good payback because word gets out among the better customers, plus not paying gaming tax in most cases means their interests are in getting you to come back often. If you tried to pay 50% back customers would disappear quickly.

They can also simply refuse to pay.

Love this, casinos are finally waking up to the fact that something is 'wrong' and are sending out questionnaires to try and figure out why. As someone said though it will make no difference, because the people at the top will never admit they made a mistake, they'll blame the people at the bottom for not explaining to the customer how resort fees are a good thing for them, and what a great deal they are....

And note this is happening when the economic cycle is at top dead center. What's going to happen when it comes off the peak, and starts sliding down?
