    Like those who ignore social distancing, Darwin takes his toll.

    Casinos haven't yet figured out it makes no difference. Their bottom line hasn't improved since the 6:5 pandemic. Pennsylvania is the second highest grossing gambling state in the country and they're all 3:2, and PA doesn't have a particularly large number of casinos.

    True PA casinos are all 3:2, but I read they have particularly tight slots, which may offset lower bj revenues.

I’m sure printing a bunch of new table felts (that reduce their margin) just Isn’t going to happen. If people are dumb enough to play 6:5 before they are dumb enough to do it again.
    A LOT will be changing. In particular, the number of ploppies playing. You don't go from 3.5% unemployment to 30% and not have the casino's revenues taking a big hit. A lot of small businesses will not come back. GS just said likely 15% unemployment into fall. The casinos had better be proactive to get customers. Cruise ships, airlines, casinos and restaurants. All industries will be hurt for a long time.

    I haven't looked up the numbers, but I think that's because their tax rate is extremely high compared with other states.

    Just look at the house edge of side bets of any game and degenerates like it.
