This research examines news coverage of casino gaming in Ohio in the period 2008-2018. Ohio legalized gambling by popular vote in November 2009 and the state now has four casinos and 7 racinos with VLT gaming. This study will use a framing analysis to look at the way that news coverage portrays casinos with respect to social responsibility and their impact on the local community.

"Gravity Models" Applied To Projections For New Casinos: Techniques And Results, Will E. Cummings
International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking
All developers of new casinos prepare, or have prepared for them, projections for the likely gaming-revenue performance of those casinos; in many cases; regulatory authorities in North America also require or commission independent third-party assessments of such performance. These projections are very frequently based on "gravity models," applying techniques pioneered by Reilly and Huff to analyze other retail activities in relation to the geographic distribution of competitors and potential customers. In this paper, I review roughly 80 examples of such applications from recent casino-licensing procedures in the U.S., and compare their results.

The Impact Of European Pools On A Meeting Planner’S Booking Decision, Dan Cormany, Miranda D. Kitterlin, Curtis Love
Caesars Hospitality Research Summit
In a city of constant change and competition, many Las Vegas resort properties are offering topless pools (Yeskel, 2008). This phenomenon is known as “adult bathing” or “European-style” tanning, and many of the properties offering this service refer to their venues as “European pools” (Villano, 2007). A number of properties, including at least eight on the Las Vegas Strip, two in off-strip “locals’ casinos”, and one in the downtown area, have added this option for adult sunbathers. While this may be an appealing feature for many leisure travelers, its potential impact on the meeting business for those facilities is not …
