Estimating The Indirect Effect Of Sports Books On Other In-House Gaming Volumes, Brett L.L. Abarbanel, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Using data from a repeater market hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, the relationship between sports book and slot machine revenues is examined. Daily sports book write and daily slot handle are compared over a 250 day period. Though many industry leaders theorize that sports book gamblers also wager in slot banks, the results of this Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) analysis fail to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between sports book write and slot coin-in at the 0.05 alpha cutoff. This study advances literature currently available by establishing the lack of such a relationship and disputing the generally accepted assumption …

“Don’T Blow A Bunch Of Cash On Vegas:” An Event Study Analysis Of President Obama’S Public Statements On Las Vegas, Paul Gift, Michael J. Gift
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
In February of 2009 and 2010, President Obama made what some in the media and gaming industries construed as negative public statements regarding trips to Las Vegas. Some claimed these statements could easily be interpreted as a suggestion that companies and individuals avoid casino areas, thus doing additional harm to their surrounding economies during already tough times. In this paper, we use event study methodology to examine stock market reactions of U.S. casino-related businesses to the president’s statements. We find that President Obama’s statements were followed by significant negative abnormal returns in the segment of companies targeted more towards conventions, …

Frontline Employees’ Informal Learning And Customer Relationship Skills In Macao Casinos: An Empirical Study, Carlos S. Lam
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study uses qualitative methods to better understand how the informal learning of frontline employees influenced their customer relationship skills in dealing with patrons at gaming tables, in the hope of achieving positive customer experiences in a competitive environment in Macao. As casino operators need to get their employees to work after limited formal training, they might find that their emphasis on formal training might be insufficient to provide patrons with customized service in Macao. In this context, the concept of informal learning, which is determined and directed by learners themselves to further improve what they have learned from their …

The Effect Of Online Gaming On Commercial Casino Revenue, Kahlil S. Philander
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study estimates the effect of the online gaming industry on the commercial casino gaming industry. The findings from this study suggest that during the pre-UIGEA period, online gaming was a moderate substitute good for brick and mortar gaming in the U.S. During this early period in the online gaming market, which was characterized by loose regulation and relatively easy access, online gaming revenue is estimated to have cannibalized commercial casino revenue at a rate of 27 to 30 cents on the dollar. A discussion of this finding’s relevance to the current gaming market and the related policy considerations is …

What Is Intellectual Capital?, Mikael Ahlgren
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The transformation of Las Vegas from the domestic center of gaming to the future global command center of the gaming industry is an ambitious undertaking. The city of Houston, Texas successfully underwent a similar evolution in the 1980s. Now recognized as a global hub of the energy industry, Houston's stakeholders often credit intellectual capital as a primary driver of their success. This article provides an introduction to intellectual capital theory and offers Las Vegas and its stakeholders some guidance for future examinations of the city's intellectual resources.
