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.

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.

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.

Furthermore, previous dissatisfaction may not always negatively affect overall satisfaction if it is effectively managed. Finally, the …
