Simulating The Effect Of Pay Table Standard Deviation On Pulls Per Losing Player At The Single-Visit Level, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh, Laxmi P. Gewali
Simulating The Effect Of Pay Table Standard Deviation On Pulls Per Losing Player At The Single-Visit Level, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh, Laxmi P. Gewali
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
While holding par constant, changes in the standard deviation of the pay table produced an inverse effect on pulls per losing player (PPLP), across six different virtual slot machines. This result establishes the standard deviation of a game as a crucial determinant of a slot player's experience. Three different single-trip scenarios were examined via computer simulation, with 50,000 players engaging each game. For example, virtual players began with 100 units, terminating play at bankruptcy or 200 units. As players focus on the outcome of single visits, understanding the determinants of PPLP (or time on device) will help management engineer desirable …
Perceived Impacts Of Gambling: Integration Of Two Theories, Deepak Chhabra, Dogan Gursoy
Perceived Impacts Of Gambling: Integration Of Two Theories, Deepak Chhabra, Dogan Gursoy
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study explores the race and educational attainment variations on resident perceptions and support for a proposed casino development. In addition, it investigates the influence of perceived benefits and costs on casino gambling support. The findings indicate that residents who are likely to receive personal benefits from gambling development tend to believe that its socioeconomic benefits outweigh the associated costs. Respondents' race is found to exercise a significant influence on their perceptions of benefits and costs, and casino development support. This study integrates two separate research streams of social exchange theory and social representation theory, and in doing so makes …
An Examination Of Mississippi Gulf Coast Casino Management Styles With Implications For Employee Turnover, Jerome Agrusa, Joseph D. Lema
An Examination Of Mississippi Gulf Coast Casino Management Styles With Implications For Employee Turnover, Jerome Agrusa, Joseph D. Lema
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of casino employees on management styles and the relationship of these perceptions on the employee turnover rate. The sample consisted of a balanced representation of supervisory and nonsupervisory employees. Supervisors tended to perceive themselves and their managerial style in a much move favorable light than did their employees. Future research should continue to address issues of employee retention in the casino industry and adopt strategies that can retain valuable employees while reducing employee turnover costs. Human resource development processes should support managerial styles that facilitate collaborative decision making and participative …
Internal Marketing: An Antidote For Macau's Labor Shortage, Sudhir H. Kale
Internal Marketing: An Antidote For Macau's Labor Shortage, Sudhir H. Kale
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Gaming scholars the world over are in consensus about Macau's bright future as a gaming Mecca. The phenomenal growth in gaming facilities over the last three years has created an acute labor shortage in this Special Administrative Region of China. Moreover, around twenty additional gaming and hotel projects have been committed so far, all slated for completion in the next five years. Expansion on such massive scale will further intensify competition among employers to recruit and retain employees, particularly if the provincial government maintains its current restrictions on importing labor into the region. One, and arguably the only way to …

Players' Pools: A Potential Drain, Charles Carslaw, E.J. Egghart
Players' Pools: A Potential Drain, Charles Carslaw, E.J. Egghart
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Indian casino operators have been seeking ways to operate Nevada style table games within existing laws. Under the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, those casinos that do not have compacts with their states are permitted to operate only Class II gaming operations. In order to enable such casinos to operate table card games which are not backed by the casino, players' pools have evolved in which gaming wins are backed by the players themselves. The operation of players' pool gaming has been subject to a number of uncertainties, and it does expose the casinos to some unusual risks. Indian casinos …

A Profile Of Pro-Union Casino Workers In Northern Nevada, Merwin Mitchell, Yvonne Stedham
A Profile Of Pro-Union Casino Workers In Northern Nevada, Merwin Mitchell, Yvonne Stedham
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Why workers unionize has been a topic of considerable debate for nearly one hundred and fifty years. Research, however, concerning the determinants of voting behavior has primarily been conducted during the last two decades. Up to now, little has been done to evaluate why workers in gaming may be pro-union, anti-union, or ambivalent. Using a data base containing survey data for 237 workers, we find that pro-union workers are less satisfied with a variety of work dimensions and that they feel under more stress than other workers. We also find, contrary to evidence for other industries, that pro-union workers view …
Is Bigness Better In Casino Gaming? Evidence From The Atlantic City Market, Christian Marfels
Is Bigness Better In Casino Gaming? Evidence From The Atlantic City Market, Christian Marfels
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
A simple regression model is developed to test the relationship between casino floor space as an indicator for bigness and selected financial indicators. Based on data from the Atlantic City market the analysis suggests that scale economies can be experienced by bigger casinos when the total costs of the casino/hotel operation per square foot of gaming space are considered. In contrast, the regression evidence does not point to an advantage of bigness with regard to performance indicators of the casino department itself and, again, based on a per-square-foot analysis. Furthermore, it is shown that there exists a systematic tendency for …
The Leader As Moral Agent: Praise, Blame, And The Artificial Person, Joseph Hester, Don Killian
The Leader As Moral Agent: Praise, Blame, And The Artificial Person, Joseph Hester, Don Killian
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
The leader as the moral agent can be both a singular and a collective entity. Regardless, that individual or group of individuals must establish and live by a moral paradigm where self-respect and respect for co-workers is paramount. In essence, the moral agent must "lead by example." And it is not simply sufficient to choose the correct pathway but to care about choosing the correct pathway, stripping the decision-making process of disingenuous or superficial motives and injecting heart, concern, and passion for doing what is right.

Virtue Ethics And Animal Law, Taimie Bryant
Virtue Ethics And Animal Law, Taimie Bryant
Between the Species
This essay explores virtue ethical concepts in the context of animal law theory and practice. For reasons discussed in the essay, virtue ethics may not, on its own, serve as an adequate foundation for general anticruelty statutes, but it may have application in those contexts in which sufficient sharing of values enables participants in legal reform to work through differences in moral commitments to generate at least temporarily acceptable laws. The article considers a detailed example of that type of application, based on the actual and realistic situation of legislator-requested feral cat colony caretakers’ participation in the development of ordinances …

It’s been some time since I sat down and watched as much as a half of a college football game. Last fall I was in London, a city not infected by intercollegiate athletics, and this fall I simply never got enough time or interest to watch. Then a few weeks ago I did see several games. Florida and Florida State always draws my interest, and the Notre Dame run has been an interesting one.

Relating Nanoparticle Properties To Biological Outcomes In Exposure Escalation Experiments, Trina Patel, Cecile Low-Kam, Zhaoxia Ji, Haiyuan Zhang, Tian Xia, Andre E. Nel, Jeffrey I. Zinc, Donatello Telesca
COBRA Preprint Series
A fundamental goal in nano-toxicology is that of identifying particle physical and chemical properties, which are likely to explain biological hazard. The first line of screening for potentially adverse outcomes often consists of exposure escalation experiments, involving the exposure of micro-organisms or cell lines to a battery of nanomaterials. We discuss a modeling strategy, that relates the outcome of an exposure escalation experiment to nanoparticle properties. Our approach makes use of a hierarchical decision process, where we jointly identify particles that initiate adverse biological outcomes and explain the probability of this event in terms of the particle physico-chemical descriptors. The …
