Looking forward to catching up with everyone on the forum this week. Let’s keep the conversations going strong.
Endcaps are the mall kiosks of the floor — great for impulse stops, not long sessions — so run a two-week A/B by mirroring a theme on two banks, swap positions mid-week, and compare coin-in per sqft plus dwell heat maps. On “George,” I’ve heard it’s from “George = a dollar” (Washington on the $1), but origins feel muddier — anyone seen it cited in older dealer manuals?
On the ‘George’ origin, I heard it as ‘George = the $1 bill guy,’ but the useful bit for us was process: we flag a player as George after three tokes in a shoe and ping the host for an immediate small comp — just don’t say the word at the table; @chloe_lee94, do your pits run a quick-trigger like that?
