Recession Hitting Smaller Casinos Worse

Pretty much every business out there was hurt in some way by the economy. People just aren’t spending money like they used to. There are some things that people can’t do without like gas and food – but other than that – people are learning to cut their spending and save more money.

The large casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City have seen the hard side of the recession. Their numbers are at record lows and they can’t wait for things to turn around. They look at the empty slot machines where before there were lines of people waiting to play and all they can do is hold out hope that the tide changes.

But the smaller casinos have a much harder time of it. They say that the bigger casinos might see their slot machines numbers dropping, but they have more fat to live off of than they do. They say that they continue to bring in their customers as much as they can, but it is tough. They know that if someone has a choice of food or slot machines – they are not going to pick the latter.

So they offer things like free cars and other promotions to keep them coming in and playing – but it gets harder and harder each day for them to keep their doors open. They don’t offer thousands of slot machines – usually under a hundred – but they just aren’t getting played. They say that if the economy does not shift soon, many more of them will be closing their doors for good.
