Applicability Of The Duplication Of Purchase Law To Gaming, Desmond Lam
Applicability Of The Duplication Of Purchase Law To Gaming, Desmond Lam
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
In a bid to explore the use of an empirical-based model to explain regular gaming purchases, this study applies the Duplication of Purchase Law to gaming. Developed from empirical-based marketing theory and observed in many consumer brands, the Duplication of Purchase Law states that the dominant factor of purchase duplication between two brands is their market share. Using data obtained from the U.S. Gambling Impact Study, this study found that the duplication of games played was highly correlated to their penetration rates and hence, market share. In addition, the number of sole gamblers in each game was also related to …

Assessing The Information Needs Of Australian Gaming Managers, Helen Breen
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
There has been an increased need for gaming managers to source and use relevant information to assist them in managing their venues.

Research into the management of gaming is still in its infancy. This paper reports on a study into the information needs of a selection of gaming managers of clubs, hotels and casinos in two Australian states.

Casino Atmospherics From A Customer's Perspective: A Re-Examination, Lesley Johnson, Karl J. Mayer, Elena Champaner
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Considerable research in recent years has examined the influence of physical evidence, or atmosphere, in a variety of service settings, including leisure services. Not fully covered has been the area of atmosphere in a casino gaming setting. This extension of a previous study further investigates atmospherics in casinos. The findings showed that customers defined casino atmosphere in five key elements: theme, floor layout, ceiling height, employee uniforms, and noise level. Three of the five contributed positively to a player's satisfaction with the gaming experience as shown by the regression analysis. This reinforces previous indications of the need for casino management …

Glass Ceiling Or Saran Wrap™? Women In Gaming Management, Wanda M. Costen, Christian E. Hardigree, Michael A. Testagrossa
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study explores women's representation in gaming management in the 24 highest gross revenue gaming establishments in America. While almost 54% of foodservice and lodging employees are women, and approximately 44% of the managers in foodservice and lodging are women, one area of hospitality seems to be lagging-gaming. Our data indicated that women held 123 of 496 positions or 24.8% of casino management positions. Almost 68% of these female managers were in non-gaming positions. Our findings appear to support social closure theory since 11 of the 40 women in gaming management positions were in the cage department, and 4 of …

Perceptions Of A Bible Belt State's Proposed Casino Gaming Legislation By Religious Affiliation: The Case Of Kentucky Residents, Desmond O. Brown, Mary G. Roseman, Sunny Ham
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study seeks to explore whether differences exist among Kentucky residents' perception of casino gaming based on religious affiliation. A survey was conducted to sample 600 residents regarding currently a widely debated introduction of land-based casinos in the state, yielding a response rate of 38.4%. The results support earlier studies regarding the impact religion has on people's attitudes toward gaming. The findings suggest that Catholics have a more positive attitude toward the legalization of gambling than persons of Protestant faiths.
Using The Critical Incident Technique To Assess Gaming Customer Satisfaction, Lesley Johnson
Using The Critical Incident Technique To Assess Gaming Customer Satisfaction, Lesley Johnson
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Before gaming organizations can initiate efforts to service their customers, they must be able to effectively manage the service encounter. Although every service encounter is not necessarily critical to satisfaction, it is not always obvious which are crucial to the customer and which are not. Using critical incidents reported by gaming customers and employees, this study identifies service encounters that both parties perceive as being very satisfactory or very dissatisfactory from the customer's point of view. Identifying particularly positive and negative customer service experiences can provide direction for management in allocating resources specifically to those areas that maximize customer satisfaction …

Prospects And Strategies Of Gaming Ventures In China, Zheng Gu
Prospects And Strategies Of Gaming Ventures In China, Zheng Gu
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This paper analyzes the prospects of gaming ventures in China and discusses the strategies for Western investors. A strong demand for gambling, changing government attitudes, increased wealth and leisure, and a fairly established foundation of tourism have created a favorable climate for gaming ventures in China. The major risks are political instability, policy inconsistency, and inflation. To develop gaming projects in China, Western gaming investors need to choose the right regions and build casinos different from those in Las Vegas. At the current stage, active involvement with a small amount of capital is recommended.

Changes In Gaming And Gaming Participants In The United States, Roy A. Cook, Laura J. Yale
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Public interest and acceptance of casino gaming as a recreational activity has resulted in a proliferation of gaming locations. The spread of gaming locations and the acceptance of gaming as a legitimate leisure activity may be explained from a marketing perspective through diffusion theory. Gaming could see continued revenue growth and participation or, like lotteries, it could face saturation and even decline. To avoid the potential problems associated with maturation, gaming operators may need to review the experiences of state lotteries which have faced and dealt with the problems of maturation and saturation.

Sport tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry. Although there are a number of benefits to cities as a result of sport tourism, the most desired aspect of hosting contests is economic impact. This study examined the gaming and non-gaming impact of six major sporting events held in Las Vegas over a ten-year period. The results indicate that length of stay is a significant contributor to economic impact and that sport tourism has an important role to play in the economy of Las Vegas.

“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
“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, …

Gambling With The Bronx Bombers: Betting On, Against, And With The Yankees, Ronald J. Rychlak
UNLV Gaming Law Journal
The New York Yankees, arguably the most hallowed name in all of professional sports, has probably had more money wagered on the outcome of its games than any other team in any sport. Although few people today may be aware of it, the team itself has a long history of association with gamblers and gambling. The first owners of the Yankees were notorious gamblers; the team’s first captain was indicted in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal; one Yankees’ pitcher was suspected of having thrown another Series game; one owner had ties to underworld figures in Las Vegas; another owner was …

In this Article, we examine the various laws and regulations that affect a gaming enterprise debtor and its creditors. We examine various examples of overleveraged gaming companies operating in Nevada and the steps taken to modify these companies’ financial obligations. Our analysis focuses on four gaming companies that filed for bankruptcy protection—Tropicana Entertainment, Station Casinos, Riviera Holdings, and Black Gaming-and three gaming companies that restructured their debt obligations, through differing procedures but without filing for bankruptcy protection—Cosmopolitan, M Resort, and Palms.

When Gaming Goes Heads Up With The Bankruptcy Code: Unique Restructuring Issues For Gaming Businesses In Difficult Economic Times, Dawn M. Cica, Laury M. Macauley
UNLV Gaming Law Journal
The intersection of gaming and bankruptcy law has long presented legal conflicts that have never been easily reconciled. This problem has been exacerbated in recent years by the current global and national economic turbulence that has greatly impacted the casino gaming industry and has led to a sizeable increase in the number of businesses using bankruptcy to restructure and/or liquidate assets.

Csi Las Vegas: Privacy, Policing, And Profiteering In Casino Structured Intelligence, Jessica D. Gabel

Section III considers the available protections of private information in terms of security breaches, law enforcement sharing, and sales in the context of a bankruptcy. Section IV discusses additional safeguards and ethical concerns that should be considered as casinos continue to increase their data mining efforts.

Even Moe Dalitz Would Blush: Why The District Attorney Has No Business Collecting Unpaid Casino Markers, Francis J. Mootz Iii
UNLV Gaming Law Journal
Gambling has a long and circuitous history in American law. Perhaps the strangest turn in this journey is the current situation in Nevada, in which the District Attorney uses the force of criminal law to collect unpaid loans owed to casinos in return for a generous ten percent bounty. It is part of the lore of Las Vegas that the mob running some of the casinos in the city would send a bagman to collect unpaid debts, with a variety of unpleasant consequences for those who refused to pay. Morris Barney “Moe” Dalitz reputedly was the last of the great …

The Long And Winding Road: State Sovereign Immunity's Effect On Gaming License Revocation For The Casino Debtor, Christopher M. Humes
The Long And Winding Road: State Sovereign Immunity's Effect On Gaming License Revocation For The Casino Debtor, Christopher M. Humes
UNLV Gaming Law Journal
One of the most vital and contentious proceedings between a casino debtor and a regulatory agency is a post-petition license revocation hearing. Much debate exists about whether the license qualifies as property of the estate and whether the regulatory agency can be exempted from the protections inherent in the Bankruptcy Code due to the use of police and regulatory power. However, maybe the most contentious and impactful debate is whether the regulatory agency is free from the bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction due to the Eleventh Amendment’s guarantee of sovereign immunity.
At the center of the tension concerning sovereign immunity lies 11 …
