There seems to be some confusion about deposit amounts. Deposit amounts are not made available to the affiliate program – never have. The RevShare model is based on profit to the casino, which is certainly not the amount deposited.
Re: Getting $2700 in wagering from $100 in deposit. I know the amount of wager looks large, but you’d be surprised how many times players turn their money over as they play. It gets big … and fast!
To clarify this point, let’s look at the facts. It is a fact that over all the casino’s in our group (excluding recent acquisitions not owned at the time) over the entire year of 2005, the average amount of wager on $100 deposit is:
Here’s the margin/payout table:
Margin Payout
Table Non Blackjack 2.57% 0.90%
Slots 3.71% 1.30%
Video Poker 0.94% 0.33%
Blackjack 1.26% 0.44%
So, $100 in deposit on these game types yielded how much wagering on the average:
Table Non Blackjack: $100 / 2.57% = 3891.05 wagered from the $100 deposit.
Aff Comm: $3,891.05 * 0.9% = $35.02
Slots: $100 / 3.71% = $2,695.42 wagered from the $100 deposit.
Aff Comm: $2,695.42 * 1.3% = $35.04
Video Poker: $100 / 0.94% = $10,638.30 wagered from the $100 deposit.
Aff Comm: $10,638.30 * .33% = $35.11
Blackjack: $100 / 1.26% = 7936.51 wagered from the $100 deposit.
Aff Comm: $7,936.51 * .44% = $34.92
You can see the totals are slightly off because I rounded to the nearest 100th, but the basic principle is there. Anyway, you don’t have to believe me that these are fact, just ask the independent auditors (xhttp://www.blackjackballroom.com/security/pwc.asp)
