wow, that article is from 2009. it was just a bit too long to read. i was just at foxwoods this past monday around noon. the asian area wasn't too impressive. i know its the weekday, but there were only 2 bac tables(comm) full and 1 1/2 bac tables(no comm) going on. i waited for about 10 minutes and no one budged so i went to the tanger outlets instead. drove over to Mohegan and they were packed as usual. way over 10 full tables going on. made a nice little profit and decided to drive home earlier than expected to beat the storm.
Yes, that is when Foxwoods started that, actually copied what Asia has been doing for some time. Other larger casinos pretty much stick with the loss-rebates and other negotiated amounts of upfront comp-promotional non-nego chips, etc., with all FM deposits or credit lines starting at $50,000.00 and above.
