driving bottom line. Pit players will never be encouraged to play poker instead of pit games...

But isn't the whole point of this that pit players are going to another casino because we don't have poker? I'm not suggesting we "encourage" them to play poker; merely talk up rotation games over single format games to those who we might otherwise lose to competition.

but you didn't say that, you said, pit players moving over to the poker room. You tell that to a suit and they will have a stroke. You have to say, "Damn, we are losing pit players to other properties because they like to play high limit poker from time to time and we need to keep those pit players on our property".

Anything that encourages a pit player to move to poker is dead in the water before its feet ever get wet. Anything that keeps a high limit pit player on the property is worth considering.

Do you think they pick them up at the airport because they like them? Sorry, they want to make sure the arrive at the right casino and don't wander over to the competitor's casino.
