As I've said before, I DO NOT GET PAID TO BE A WATCHDOG. You do realize when you click banners off of the watchdog sites you're putting money in their pockets (also when you read the banners). That makes it THEIR responsibility to name the names. I'm only reporting on an overall trend.
What I WILL say is that I don't know WHICH books will survive, but when the shakeout and consolidation phase is over, there will be about a dozen that will collapse into about six primary operations. That's enough variety to satisfy the customer base, without being spread so thin as to jeopardize their existence.
Considering that Olympic offered two dimes to people screwed over by Aces, I'd say that's a good sign for them, since the last thing a book in bad shape would do is fork over a lot of cash like that.
If you want to know who will survive, pay attention this football season. You're going to see a mass exodus from the marginal casinos towards the established operations where people KNOW the owners are filthy rich. The exodus will be very public and make it apparent to everyone who the winners and losers will be.
I can't name them because the market hasn't named them yet. It's like in the railroad era where there were 3,000 railroads until Vanderbilt went on his acquisition binge and dominated the industry.
