I am definitely not a math genious, but to me it appears that the quantity of the players isn’t that important, it’s the quality.
If your player likes to play and knows his/her game well, s/he can spend a lot of time playing on their deposit.
If your player comes in for the free money only, they may bet it all in a few strokes and you make little.
And that’s not that different from before, except that now I don’t worry about win or lose.
