Default Another floor issue

Al, I'm curious as to your opinion on a discussion I have had recently with the floor at Potowatomi (Milwaukee). They have 10 tables, and a typical configuration these days are 1 $1-$5 stud game, 4 2/4 games, 3 5/10 games and 2 $200 3/5 NL games. When they opened, a 10/20 and 20/40 game was always going, but in the past 18 months, the 20/40 game became a 15/30 game, which merged into the 10/20 game, and nowadays, the 10/20 game is hit & miss.

The problem is that by the time enough people are around to play 10/20, either the rest of the tables are filled up or they don't want to hurt the games that are currently going on. I try to argue that the card room should make a special effort to provide a higher limit game even if it risks hurting one of the several lower-limit games because there is a value in having a variety of limits available, especially limits that they are struggling to keep.

As it is, I now travel to a casino an additional 1/2 hour away because I know they will have a 20/40 game running while this nearby casino may not even have a 10/20 going. I have to think that other are doing the same. Does it make good business sense to try to prevent this, or am I offbase?
