Caesars, with a comparatively modest 10.3 percent, banked a cool $1.2 million. And the Taj, with the lowest percentage win of any of twelve casinos, ended up on top of the heap, with an impressive $1.65 million win for the month.
Mini-baccarat, is a comparatively new table game for some casinos. It showed some surprising statistics. Usually perceived in the crowded casino as just another table game on the floor, it doesn't have the aura of the baccarat pit. Yet to my astonishment, the figures show that mini-baccarat sometimes equals or even surpasses the grosses and losses of its big brother!
Three of the twelve casinos had bigger grosses on their mini-baccarat tables than on their regular baccarat tables. All three had more minis action than regular games.
The monthly baccarat grosses of the casinos were quite varied, from an impressive $2,642,000 high for the Taj, to a minuscule $59,000 for Harrah's (and that was the grand total for both baccarat games).
It is interesting to note that, although the Casino Control Commission has given its okay to fifteen "Other" games, most all of the casinos opt to run only five, usually three Chinese-oriented games, along with Caribbean and "Let-It-Ride" poker. The report also lists regular poker, which, for all its pop culture fame, only half the casinos offer. Of the ones that do, only the Taj had a take of more than a million for the month from that game.
The "Other Games" are also winners for the casinos, with percentages that run from a high of 22.9 for the Taj to a low of 9.8 for the Showboat. The Showboat was the only casino with a percentage win for "Other Games" that was lower than their win on both blackjack and craps.
Curiously, seven of the fifteen "Other Games" were shunned altogether by all the casinos, and four "Other Games" were offered in only five of the casinos.
Mini-craps was offered by three casinos, with win-percentages ranging from 7.5 percent to 22 percent. Mini-dice, a game separate from mini-craps, was offered only by the Taj, which reaped a fat 36.9 percent profit on it. "Fast Action Hold 'Em" was just at Harrah's, which netted a hefty 31.8 percent profit.
Keno, the last entry on the "Other Games" pages listed by the casinos, is a game heavily weighted percentage-wise in the casino's favor. Even though it has a better than 25-percent house edge, only six of the twelve casinos offered the game.
