The Fine Point Group October 30th 2009 - Randy was quoted in the article "Detroit Casinos Fare Suprisingly Well in touch Times" on October 30th 2009 in the Wall Street Journal. Detroit has lost jobs, residents and much of its auto industry. But its gambling business is doing surprisingly well. At the Greektown Casino Hotel, owned by the Sa...ult Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, revenue is up 6.1% this year. Cutting its hotel-room prices to $99 a night and dropping its all-you-can-eat buffet to $9.99 from $19 has helped it draw more business. "We feed four times as many people as we used to," said Randall Fine, who became Greektown's chief executive in April. Clink the link below to read the article.

The city's unemployment rate is 29%, but gaming revenue at its three casinos has been off only 2% from a year ago so far this year. Atlantic City's gaming revenue has fallen 14%, and the Las Vegas Strip is down 14%.
