Regarding the player value issue, I just checked what is my average player value at a few programs and the $800-$1,000 seems to be correct, but only at casinos that know how to keep their players playing.
Garth, you would be delighted to know that Roxy Palace is actually one of the leaders with almost $800 average player value at the moment (and taken into account that some of those players will keep playing in the future I estimate that average player value will get to $1,000)
Other programs that seem to have a high player value are GoldenStarNetwork and Sci-Fi.
I would be very interested to see what programs works for everyone else in terms of player value? and what software?
