I personally don't think there is much value for casinos in the whole database thing. The database companies, OSN and others (griffin before them), just like all the game protection companies that have shot up, somehow convince the casino and casino industry that they are saving them or protecting something when I don't think they are. All they are doing is making money for themselves. I don't think much would change for casinos as far as bottom line with no database companies.

BUT that is why DGenBens answer surprised me a little bit. I would think that databases would be doing the same thing with the slot Aps now that it is so popular. Trying to convince casinos that we are saving you and you need our service by expanding right into all the slot APs. But I am glad they are not. Actually doesn't matter to me either way.
