Residents' Perceptions Of Casino Development In Korea: The Kangwon Land Casino Case, Ki-Joon Back, Choong-Ki Lee
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study was developed to examine the underlying relationships among the socio-demographic variables of casino community residents, the perceptions of potential benefits and costs, and the support for casino development based on the social exchange theory. The results show that social and economic benefits were most significant in determining the level of support for casino development. None of the demographic variables significantly affected support level. Based on the results of this study, casino operators and policymakers should make efforts to minimize the negative social factors and maximize social and economic benefits if they want support from residents for further development …
Assessing The Information Needs Of Australian Gaming Managers, Helen Breen
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. Gaming managers have been under pressure from governments, the welfare sector, local communities and the media to manage gaming activities in a socially responsible manner. 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. This exploratory qualitative research provides in-depth responses from twenty-six gaming managers. These managers report that they want …

Gambling Participation And Prevalence Estimates Of Pathological Gambling In A Far-East Gambling City: Macao, Davis Ka-Chio Fong, Bernadete Ozorio
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This research is the first scientific study of gambling participation and pathological gambling in Macao. In 2003, a computer-assisted random digit dialing method was used to conduct 1,121 telephone interviews. Two-thirds of respondents expressed that they have participated in at least one of the fourteen forms of gambling in the past year. The three most popular forms of gambling include social gambling, Mark Six lottery, and soccer/basketball betting. As for the prevalence of pathological gambling, the Chinese DSM-IV Gambling Behavior Index was used as the screening tool and results indicate that 1.78% of respondents are classified as probable pathological gamblers …
Estimating The Short-Term Effects Of An Increase In Par On Reel Slot Performance, Anthony F. Lucas, Karl D. Brandmeir
Estimating The Short-Term Effects Of An Increase In Par On Reel Slot Performance, Anthony F. Lucas, Karl D. Brandmeir
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Data from a US hotel casino are analyzed to examine the validity of a controversial theory holding that reel slot players are unable to perceive substantial increases in par (i.e., a hidden price). The results of a multiple regression analysis support this theory. A 50% increase in the pars of a $5.00 reel sample, failed to significantly affect the performance of these games. The control-group games featured 5.0% pars, while the experiment-group pars were set at 7.5%. Descriptive statistics show that the theoretical win per unit actually increased at the 7.5% par. The strategy behind the theory is to obtain …

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
In Australia, the state of Queensland introduced a voluntary Responsible Gambling Code of Practice in 2002. This investigation examines levels of implementation and perceptions of adequacy of the Code in casinos, hotels and licensed clubs in three Queensland regions. It involved on-site inspections of 30 venues and semi-structured interviews with 35 venue managers and staff. The level of implementation varied but most venues had implemented between 40 and 60 percent of the Code's practices. Managers' perceptions of the adequacy of the Code's practices revealed that some practices, such as physical layout of the venue, were considered much more effective than …

The authors seek to provide an exploratory framework that will aid in the development of future theory and research on these phenomena.
An Assessment Of Crime Volume Following Casino Gaming Development In The City Of Detroit, Omar Moufakkir
An Assessment Of Crime Volume Following Casino Gaming Development In The City Of Detroit, Omar Moufakkir
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Debates surrounding casino gaming development in the US often are based on the assumption that the opening of a casino is followed by an increase in crime in the host community and surrounding areas. This paper examined crime volume in Detroit, Michigan and neighboring communities before, during and after the three Detroit casinos opened. Findings indicated that total Index Crime offenses did not increase in Detroit. However, it appeared that the volume of certain types of crime slightly increased while others decreased. Based on the analysis, this paper concluded that there is no alarming indication to suggest that the volume …

Profile Of Internet Gamblers: Betting On The Future, Christopher Woodruff, Susan R. Gregory
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The commercial casino industry in 2002 provided more jobs, higher wages, and more tax revenues to states and local communities than ever before. At the same time Internet gambling sites operated by offshore companies have seen explosive growth since the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1995 (Rose, 2003). This research developed profiles of current land based casino patrons who have gambled on the Internet, those who have not but are willing to try, and those who have not and would not in the future consider Internet gambling. Two hundred surveys were collected at two Detroit, Michigan casinos, asking …

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Capitalizing on the recent developments in casino gambling in Macao and the dominance of Chinese gambling at Macao casinos, the purpose of this research was to study how Chinese behaved in gambling and how these behaviors related to another risk taking activity, investment, which has been documented to be in a different risk taking domain from gambling. A survey was carried out in Macao with casino gamblers as the target respondents. In addition to socio-economic data, each respondent was asked about the extent of his gambling involvement and his responses to some standardized investment decision making situations.

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 …

Challenges In Responsible Provision Of Gambling: Questions Of Efficacy, Effectiveness And Efficiency, Nerilee Hing, Jo Mackellar
Challenges In Responsible Provision Of Gambling: Questions Of Efficacy, Effectiveness And Efficiency, Nerilee Hing, Jo Mackellar
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This paper aims to explain why responsible provision of gambling is an important corporate social issue facing many gambling providers by examining its status with reference to three characteristic features of such issues proposed in the corporate social responsibility literature--expectational gaps, impacts and controversy (Wartick and Mahon, 1994). The existence of expectational gaps, impacts and controversy relating to contemporary gambling operations thus clarifies why gambling providers are under pressure to manage their gambling operations in a more socially responsible manner. A second aim is to clarify why resolving this issue has been difficult. Drawing on a second explanatory framework from …

Community Leader Perceptions Of The Social And Economic Impacts Of Indian Gaming, Patricia L. Janes, Jim Collison
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The development of casino gambling in recent years whether through state-regulated or Native American gaming operations has resulted in increased concern over social and economic impacts. This study assessed perceptions of eight community leaders as to how the area was affected by a major expansion of a Native American casino. Leaders were interviewed prior to and several years after the completed expansion. Leaders felt the expansion had contributed positively to the community but noted increased social concerns. Overall, economic impacts were positive, however, the uniqueness of a Native American casino operation posed other challenges.
Political Culture And Gambling Policy: A Cross-National Study, William N. Thompson, Carl Lutrin, Asher Friedberg
Political Culture And Gambling Policy: A Cross-National Study, William N. Thompson, Carl Lutrin, Asher Friedberg
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This paper seeks to find relationships between political culture and policy making on gambling in four jurisdictions, including Nevada and California, two adjacent U.S. States, and also in Great Britain and Israel. While the stages of political culture have not advanced to a tightly knit theory from which an array of testable hypotheses can flow, the concept can be helpful in understanding policy developments in gambling across national borders. Though this discussion leans toward the academic style, it offers a practical approach to cultural sensitivity that casino operatives should consider when expanding to divergent populations in new host communities, to …

Trends Of Japan's Giant Leisure Industry: Pachinko, Ko Hirano, Kiyomi Takahashi
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Japanese law does not treat Pachinko as a form of gambling but rather as a leisure activity. Even though it is classified as a leisure activity, regulators still see a risk that Pachinko may stir up one's gambling spirit. Pachinko parlors are facing a reduction in number of visitors. Pachinko is becoming a popular investment for chain operators through domestic and foreign capital.

A Virtual Pandora's Box: What Cyberspace Gambling Prohibition Means To Terrestrial Casino Operators, David G. Schwartz
A Virtual Pandora's Box: What Cyberspace Gambling Prohibition Means To Terrestrial Casino Operators, David G. Schwartz
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Recently, there has been increased pressure on the U.S. Congress to act against Internet gambling. While it may be tempting for terrestrial casinos to watch idly as the federal government moves to eliminate a potential competitor, those in the business of gaming must be leery of any federal efforts to halt gambling online. In the final analysis, the same arguments to restrict consumer choice in cyberspace can be easily used against gambling in real casinos-a compelling reason for terrestrial gaming operators to forcefully oppose any federal restrictions on Americans' rights to gamble.

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.
Principles, Processes And Practices In Responsible Provision Of Gambling: A Conceptual Discussion, Nerilee Hing
Principles, Processes And Practices In Responsible Provision Of Gambling: A Conceptual Discussion, Nerilee Hing
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This paper develops a definition and conceptual framework of responsible provision of gambling that integrates three central constructs in the corporate social performance literature. It depicts responsible provision of gambling as the congruence between the socially responsible principles, socially responsive processes and socially desirable practices that gambling operators pursue and those expected by their key stakeholders in managing the social impacts of gambling. The framework therefore provides some theoretical underpinnings to clarify the meaning of responsible provision of gambling and to facilitate its implementation in order to inform scholarly research and applied initiatives. Some potential research applications of the framework …

Performance Gaps Between U.S. And European Casinos: A Comparative Study, Zheng Gu
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Recent years have seen the fast spread of legalized gaming throughout the world. Amid the frenzied gaming boom, new casinos have mushroomed on every continent. Casinos in different continents operate in different legal and market environments and may have performed quite differently. This study examines the performance results of U. S. casinos, those in Nevada and on the Las Vegas Strip in particular, in comparison with Dutch and French casinos in 1998. It was found that Dutch and French casinos outperformed U. S. casinos in both revenue efficiency and profitability. Noncompetitive European gaming markets most likely have helped European casinos …

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
In recent years, the casino industry in some European countries has experienced remarkable growth in gaming revenues. This study examines the growth momentum of casino gaming in Europe and its implications for casinos on the Las Vegas Strip and in Atlantic City. Five factors that make European markets attractive for U. S. casinos were considered: the fast growth of the European slot market; unfavorable tax structures and high legal barriers to entry into the European casino industry; the growth of leisure time; low spending on marketing by European casinos; and the use of European slot players to balance table games …
