In the bad economy, many have a feeling that slots and video poker machines have been tightened up. One expert says that’s probably a safe bet.

The crisis has hurt casinos and their balance sheets and many bettors feel gambling isn’t paying off like it used to.

Even table games are seeing some tightening. More casinos are paying 6 to 5 on blackjack when it was 3 to 2.

Eyewitness News contacted several gaming giants that have been hit hard by the economy. Both MGM Mirage and Harrah’s Entertainment say they haven’t lowered payouts on machines because that would drive the customer base away.
