Mr M, in RingyDingy's very recent report on MGM, he mentions critters regularly feeding bets info into pit computers. Maybe that is all for comps calculations. Could there be any other more sinister reasons why they would be so apparently over-interested in seemingly mundane day-to-day stuff?
i'd like to take this a step further from my salubrious Katweezel colleague, its in relation to RFID, one of the big selling points in relation to RFID (aside from the internal accounting issues and employee related issues which are the number #1 rfid selling point btw) is that it accurately tracking of players betting, primarily focussed on giving the accurate level of play, for comps.
Casino insiders will tell you what costs the casino industry more, chumps counting cards, or hosts giving away comps etc when they shouldnt? and not targeting the right people. the marketing heads here will know more about this than i do, however all the anecdotal evidence suggest the fact it can be used to track betting ramps which suggest card counters to me is minor at best.
After all how many of us have sat down and seen ploppies spread crazy stupid amounts on hunches etc? imagine if the bet tracking software put in an alert for all these times? unless they had good well thought out algorithmic pattern sensing to match that of which counters used.
anyways this is probably warranting of its own thread.
