No, they really don't. They take reactive, instead of proactive steps to prevent advantage play. They restrict the last game hit by advantage players, and don't put any thought into protecting themselves against future advantage play. All it really takes is a bit of 6th grade level math to construct bonus terms that are fair and attractive to recreational players, yet unprofitable for bonus whores.

This is why advantage play has been and will continue to be obscenely profitable, while casinos will alienate their potentially most profitable customers in trying to deter their most unprofitable ones.

And a comment for Spearmaster

My comments are based on arguments founded in logic and reason, as are the comments made by many posters in this thread. Feel free to disagree, as God knows we may all be totally wrong, but please don't insult us by suggesting that we're saying these things just because we feel that "The player is always right ... the casino is always wrong"
