if you read his blog you would know that Dancer is pretty frail these days. He’s recently written about times he used both power chairs and walkers. He’s also mentioned that it takes a lot of walking to work the advantage slots. Thats something I know a lot about.
The exploitable machines are spread out in the casinos. And just because you make it to a machine doesn’t mean you will get a play. There is a lot of zig zagging around involved, and trips to the restrooms. A young healthy slot hustler making a few laps a day around the advantage machines mid-strip will probably walk 15 miles a day. So how well can a 78 year old man do it?
I just returned from 8 days spent mid strip, 4 days south strip, 4 days downtown, 2 days Laughlin so I’ve seen the territory he works. And I seen the competition he faces from younger slot hustlers. I enjoyed the trip, and I will return. But not for the money. There are better spots for me in this country than the strip. If Bob quits video poker its because his edge is to thin to overcome the new tax law. If he quits advantage slots its because its to much work for him/he’s out competed.
