New anti-AP tactic or just a by product of greed?

My local casino has definitely lowered RTP across the board. Best VP was 9/7 db (99.1%). No more... All gone.
Even machines I play for fun are lowered.
Ie: Terrific Tiger, haven't gotten a 4x4x4 multiplier (64x) this year
But my Freeplay has increased significantly this month (June) despite less monthly play all year.
Used to be $50 twice a week, now it's $110 4x/week.
Theory:
Lower RTP of all machines to 85% but increase free play such that over all return to player for slots is 92%.
That # is reported to the state for the monthly public publication, basically showing the ploppies that they have looser slots compared to the area competition.
In the meanwhile, APs lose their shirts playing 90% #s on 85% machines
