I would consider anything less full panic mode. It could be a legal requirement that they be open 24/7 (not sure) but if not, at least that means the Slots/Video revenue justifies the staffing/security/electricity to remain open during those hours. There's no talk of closing the casino altogether from 3:00a.m.-7:00a.m., at least not at this point. The Breezeway Cafe will also reduce its hours to 7:30a.m.-10:30a.m. I don't have any stock in them, but from an investor's standpoint, I don't like it. I understand that you may not be making your staffing costs back on them between 3:00-7:00a.m., but how much do you lose if those people cease to come at all? I would tend to look at the revenue/person (divided into per hour) of the people that tend to come in prior to 3:00a.m. The fact that they cannot serve drinks during those times may also be a factor. The problem is that I believe they are just doing a rudimentary revenue analysis of staffing costs per hour vs. They are pulling back on the late-night tables because they don't want to have to start laying people off. I just think it is a bad sign, and I have inside information that it is either an hours cut or layoffs at that place coming as a result of this. It will also be even more action that will start heading to The Meadows, and maybe some of those late-nighters (who may well start before 3:00a.m.) will stop coming altogether because they don't want to have a hard stop time of 3:00a.m. I understand that this is technically the correct decision if Table revenues do not exceed staffing costs for tables, but at the same time, I think that this sort of penny-pinching is probably a HUGE red flag for a casino. beginning on August 1st and extending indefinitely. I have just been informed that ALL table games are going to be closed from 3:00a.m.-7:00a.m. I am really getting the feeling that Wheeling Island is the entity for whom the bell tolls.
