September 2026
My objective is simple: understand the floor before recommending a change. I start with observation, then use the conversation and the data to determine whether an opportunity is real.
What is happening across the floor?
Where might there be an opportunity?
What could we test together?
~23 slot positions sit directly adjacent to the hotel elevators. In addition to all hotel guests, this area draws traffic from the bordering conference center, pool entrance and ATM/bill breaker.
Buffalo drew visible player engagement throughout the floor. Three employees independently identified it as one of the property's most popular products.
At least two positions appear capable of supporting additional product. Before assuming availability: what are your current plans for the showroom floor?


A floor walk generates a hypothesis. Performance data determines whether it's a real opportunity. Here is the framework I use to stay intellectually honest.
A highly recognizable product may generate more value than comparable, less recognizable products when aligned with a high-traffic, high-visibility player path.
A floor walk surfaces a hypothesis worth exploring.
Park MGM's performance data validates or challenges the assumption.
We build a recommendation grounded in your floor — not ours.
We agree on the scorecard before anything moves.
A controlled, reversible test — on your timeline and your terms.
Identify a Buffalo cabinet on the floor — using performance data to select a product underperforming its current benchmark — and relocate it into the hotel elevator position.
This is the core of the test. High traffic + high recognition in the same position.
Move the existing cabinet currently occupying the elevator position into one of the identified open floor spaces — if the space is available and operationally viable.
No product leaves the floor. This is a reallocation, not a removal. Subject to vacancy validation.
Backfill the Buffalo/Stampede's original position with a leased Aristocrat cabinet — a validated accessory or link performer such as Lightning, Dragon or Phoenix link.
Subject to performance fit, physical constraints and commercial terms.
No product is removed from the Park MGM floor
Performance data selects the Buffalo candidate — not assumption
Low upfront cost — the backfill cabinet comes in on a lease
The test is defined, measurable and fully reversible
Tests product recognition, placement and incremental value simultaneously
The test only matters if it creates incremental value for Park MGM.
No fabricated numbers. The scorecard will be built together, using your data and your benchmarks.
The test has to create incremental value for Park MGM — not simply move revenue between positions.
No units leave your floor. This is a reallocation, not a removal.
The test is defined, measurable and reversible. Park MGM decides whether the result earns the next step.
Does this fit your floor strategy? What constraints or planned changes haven't I seen?
Which Buffalo/Stampede product would you consider the right candidate based on current performance? What competitive product needs to remain protected?
What concerns you about the test? What outcome would tell you it isn't working?
I'll rework the proposal using everything we've discussed today — your priorities, your floor, your constraints.
A specific, data-grounded pilot built for Park MGM. Not a template. Not a pitch deck.
One more conversation to pressure-test the recommendation together — before a single machine is touched.
What does your calendar look like over the next 1–2 weeks for us to reconnect? I'll take today's conversation, build the tailored recommendation, and we'll pressure-test it together before anything moves.
