Worst promoted games.

Maybe there are a lot of these, (as in everything that never makes to a casino floor) but I was thinking of ones that do.
In this case, Station casinos once promoted optimum payback machines where you buy games in bulk for a better deal.
Buying in bulk for a better deal -- great idea, by the way. I'm suprised the casino industry hasn't found a way to adopt this across all machines. If someone is willing to pre-invest a large amount of money up front in a machine, they ought to get a better game deal whether it's video poker or Lobster Mania.
So, yeah
1. Bulk buy for those station machines -- great
2. Able to advertise optimum play -- great, though possibly impossible to undertake
3. PLAYERS SEEING THEIR BALANCE STARTING AT ZERO -- I believe that was the big loser idea here. You've got to work your balance up from zero, or even see it go negative. When you realize that if you get a big hand early, but the machine and all those extra games you still have are likely just chipping away at your new balance. Likely depressing for most.

There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.
