Players' Pools: A Potential Drain, Charles Carslaw, E.J. Egghart Dec 2012

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 Dec 2012

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 Dec 2012

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 Dec 2012

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.

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

International Business Machines, or IBM, has been an indisputable force in the communications industry, leading the world into the modern, global technological age. Currently, IBM has revamped its business paradigm, allocating the majority of its resources to consulting work and data analyses rather than manufacturing as it had done so in the past — for the primary objectives of optimizing existing assets, resolving problems of burgeoning cities and beleaguered governments, and enhancing peoples‘ lives in a sustainable way.
