Massachusetts ‘Gaming’ Future
This is the same as when DRUG PUSHERS give away a FREE taste of their products.
The Baltimore Sun - March 14, 2013 - House approves letting casinos give away cash to play table games
...
Casinos could give free cash to table game players under a bill passed by the House of Delegates Thursday. The measure now heads to the state Senate.
Proponents said the change is necessary to allow Maryland casinos to compete with in what Del. Eric Luedtke called "what's becoming the most competitive gaming market in the country."
The bill allows casinos to give money to players in "promotional play," a marketing device to entice gamblers to Maryland's new table games, without having to count that cash as a casino profit. State law requires 15 percent of table game proceeds to go to a state education fund and 5 percent to certain local governments.
Casinos are already allowed to give away freebies to slot machine players; last year, casino operators across the state gave away $26.7 million in free play, according to a legislative analysis.
Casinos in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware exempt promotional play at table games from profits, though Delaware sets a limit on how much can be given away, the analysis found. New Jersey does not allow promotional play to be exempted from proceeds.
