> Care to cite your source for this or are you a gaming industry insider?

Strange dichotomy to those of us who have been to a casino. They tell you right at the games — you don't need to be an industry insider.

You are assuming a lot there. Slow your roll.

No casino in the states of NV, CA or LA has ever informed me nor have I seen other patrons be duly made aware of the 2%-15% for the slots nor the 1% for Blackjack, Video poker or Craps.

In Nevada, I don't see any stipulation they're even required to, by the Nevada Gaming Commission. [1]

Neither I nor anyone has said that they are required to make you aware, let alone "duly" so.

For instance, it makes good business sense for a casino to advertise their 94.64% slot return since they still have an edge. You don't have to be an industry insider or close to it to learn this information, as you implied.
