I understand, and don’t take this the wrong way.LOL
I’m just trying to sense out of something that doesn’t!!
I do believe there are many “Profitabilty” issues going on out there with the casinos.
Probably need a few more consolidations to occur just to be honest.
This Industry built way too fast, IMO.
Some are managed better than others, as was noted in this thread, so those may survive OK without U.S. Players.
That goes for all of them, not just GrandPrive, or MGS Outfits.
Eventhough U.S. Players are tougher to get these days, some Operators may have needed whatever they were getting in new players to survive.
It seems that No NEW U.S. Players was a dealbreaker for them.
I’m getting the feeling, {and this is just a guess, BTW}, that GrandPrive was in this situation.
When MGS pulled the plug on new players, the Bean Counters probably figured out that they would not survive without at least SOME new U.S. Players.
If that IS the case, then you have to ask yourself.
What would you do if there was an avenue to save your company?
If they close the casinos, then Affiliates don’t see a dime, Right?
If the keep the casinos open and screw the Affiliates, the Affiliates still don’t see a dime, but they probably survive because they saved all of the Affiliate payout money which probably exceeds the value of new U.S. Playersin the CURRENT environment.
Sucks for sure, but if those were your options, what would you do?
Screw yourself, or screw the people that are screwed anyway, regardless of which way you go?
Interesting thought, Eh?:roflmao:
Kind of a Moral Compass sort of thing going on there!
