Turns out Harrah's are looking to take over Foxwoods after Steve Wynn backed out.

Foxwoods PA site

When will enough be enough for Harrahs? Will anyone be able to compete with them if they decide to implement further game rules detrimental to players? Or will other casinos just go along?

Or with Harrah's opposition to resort fees could they be turning a corner?

99.99% of players don't give a hoot what game rules are used so that's not an issue. Philadelphians especially are clueless. I see nothing wrong with Harrahs making continued business decisions that are positive to and/or for them. What they do with the property as far as gaming choices is up to them.

I'd never trust Harrahs as far as I could throw them with those "no resort fees" claims. That could end any minute, or it could already be incorporated into other areas that is so sneaky even advantage players would miss it.

It's hard to believe that Harrah'sFoxwood would be any more of a ripoff than the present incarnation, but I'm sure Harrah's would find a way. Maybe they'll put in blackjack games where if the player gets a blackjack, he automatically loses.

I also wonder what bank is thinking of lending a company that owns 37 casinos and is $31 billion in debt, the money to buy ANOTHER casino. Probably the same bank that won't lend you or me ten grand to buy a car.
