			Check this casino earnings note..   
		
		
		From The Sands earnings... 
 
"The holdup is that food and beverage revenues dropped 9.4% to $27.8 million, while casino revenues declined 3.3% to $73.7 million. On the casino side, despite the drop (casino lingo for total buy-ins at table games) increasing 13.7%, the company noted a lower than expected win percentage at 18.6%, compared to 21.1% in last year's second quarter and the "normal range" of 20% to 21%. Interestingly, the company also noted that in last year's second quarter, a single player put a whopping $33 million into play at $500-denomiated slot machines, which also helps to skewer comparisons a bit." 
 
damn.
