"Streshley said baccarat numbers were hurt by the high-end game's "way below normal" hold percentage of 14.4 percent, compared with last year's 23.8 percent mark and the number the board considers par, 20 percent."

Does this mean the house win on baccarat dropped almost 30% last year? That doesn't sound statistically reasonable - I would have thought the win would have been within a couple of points of the long term average. I think someone better review the tapes....
