Last week, with casino gambling on the horizon in
Massachusetts, the gaming giant MGM wowed the struggling city of Springfield with
an $800 million casino-based urban development proposal—a potential economic game changer
for the city and the surrounding region. Given this heady news, it's only right to commend neighboring
Easthampton Savings Bank for offering its own ATM-based version of risk-free gaming
for its customers. (It's hardly surprising that a community bank, knowing the pulse of local values, would hatch the inspiring promo above. No big bank behaving badly here!)
According to the above display ad, which ran in the August 28 Daily Hampshire Gazette, the
bank’s new ATM at its Loan & Banking Center on Northampton Street in Easthampton will be dealing occasional fifties in place of twenties through September 10th. In other words, you might experience the frisson of unexpected winnings without the downside of personal risk. And don't forget, any shekels that you put into the ATM are FDIC-secure. But the current value proposition isn't about deposits, it's about withdrawals. In that spirit, who would spite Easthampton Savings Bank for the disclaimer below?
