Diminishing Comps

They try many things to get you down to this gambling Mecca of a seashore town. In many directions, the management of these places will go. It has all been carefully designed to get your dough. Free meals, free drinks, free rooms, and more. However, they are not as generous as they were before. Those houses are now in a precarious situation. Other gaming places are popping up across the nation. You would think they’d be upping the ante with their offers. However, they don’t easily open up their coffers. Business will not be so glorious if they continue becoming more parsimonious.

I have never been to Altlantic city but I do like the series, Empire Boardwalk. I like how you told this story.
