I am not going to argue with you…. Wait- maybe I will!

“I had this guy come up to me, we will call him Mo (as in Moron). Mo immediately started in on how our casino is gouging him because the lack of penny machines we have. We had a pretty good argument for about 5 minutes, Here goes…

Mo:Those machines over there, the ones in nickels– why aren’t they in pennys like _____ casino and _____ casino?

Me:Even though some other casinos may offer that machine in pennys, we have chosen to offer it exclusively in nickels. If you are looking for pennys- he have plenty.

Mo:” at ________ Casino they have these in pennys and there is always a line 3 deep of people waiting to play!”

Me:“isn’t it great that our machines have available seats?”

Mo:“You see! You are losing money. Nobody wants to play here because all you want to do it take all our money with your nickle machines!”

Me: ” I disagree, it is common knowledge that the higher the bet the looser the slot is. You have a better chance winning on the nickel machines. The progressives are so much higher”

Mo: “I can’t come up here and play with $40 dollars. I would lose it too fast because you are too greedy. I tell you, if these were pennys it would be full!!!”

Me: “Well considering it is 1 am on a tuesday- I doubt it. If you look around the casino, there are a lot of open machines that are very popular on the weekends or even during the evenings. After 11 pm people start going home to get some sleep so they can go to work…”

Mo: “Your casino doesn’t know what they are doing. They are losing money!”

Me: “I highly doubt we are losing money over a few penny machines. Our casino knows very well what we are doing. We are industry leaders with some of our slots. Casino X and Y cannot compare to some of our technology! It is really exciting actually to be working here!”

Mo: “Oh you mean those stupid machines that are pennys on weekdays to only change on weekends to nickels? That crap is ridiculous. Why am I going to come up here to play and lose money. I want to play pennys!”

Me: ” I am sorry that you can’t understand the excitement of the technology. We really are ahead of X casino and Y casino. If you feel that we are unable to accommodate you and your $40 limit then maybe the older style might be better off. This casino won’t be swaying your way anytime soon because we have worked very hard and are doing very well off with the path we have chosen.”

Mo: “I am just saying- if you put more pennys here you would have more guests and make more money”

Me: ” I am just saying that we chose the path to not accommodate to only the penny player. We are looking to appeal to the type of players that are looking to play nickel and quarter machines. We aren’t like X and Y casino, we are what they would like to be…”

Mo: “Whatever- I guess I won’t be spending my money here”

 

I really just wanted to tell this guy that his cheap ass needs to just stay home, maybe buy a nintendo and play for free. I really hate when people complain that we don’t have more penny machines. It just means that they don’t have the financial means to be playing at a casino in the first place. I just wanted to tell him that we are not the casino for him. Why even come up here if you know that we don’t have what you want? Just empty your wallet at the door and leave asshole!
