The Probability Distribution Of The Sum Of Several Dice: Slot Applications, Ashok K. Singh, Rohan J. Dalpatadu, Anthony F. Lucas

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The probability distribution of the sum of two fair dice is used to calculate the house advantage of various bets in craps, and is readily available in probability and statistics books and gaming literature. The probability distribution of the sum of A: dice (for k >= 3) is derived in this paper using the method of moment generating function. A recursion formula for deriving the probability distribution of the sum of k dice (for k >= 3) from the probability distribution of the stun of k-1 dice is also given. There are no gaming books or journal articles that demonstrate …

Estimating The Indirect Effect Of Sports Books On Other In-House Gaming Volumes, Brett L.L. Abarbanel, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Using data from a repeater market hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, the relationship between sports book and slot machine revenues is examined. Daily sports book write and daily slot handle are compared over a 250 day period. Though many industry leaders theorize that sports book gamblers also wager in slot banks, the results of this Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) analysis fail to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between sports book write and slot coin-in at the 0.05 alpha cutoff. This study advances literature currently available by establishing the lack of such a relationship and disputing the generally accepted assumption …


“Don’T Blow A Bunch Of Cash On Vegas:” An Event Study Analysis Of President Obama’S Public Statements On Las Vegas, Paul Gift, Michael J. Gift Nov 2012

“Don’T Blow A Bunch Of Cash On Vegas:” An Event Study Analysis Of President Obama’S Public Statements On Las Vegas, Paul Gift, Michael J. Gift

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

In February of 2009 and 2010, President Obama made what some in the media and gaming industries construed as negative public statements regarding trips to Las Vegas. Some claimed these statements could easily be interpreted as a suggestion that companies and individuals avoid casino areas, thus doing additional harm to their surrounding economies during already tough times. In this paper, we use event study methodology to examine stock market reactions of U.S. casino-related businesses to the president’s statements. We find that President Obama’s statements were followed by significant negative abnormal returns in the segment of companies targeted more towards conventions, …


Frontline Employees’ Informal Learning And Customer Relationship Skills In Macao Casinos: An Empirical Study, Carlos S. Lam Nov 2012

Frontline Employees’ Informal Learning And Customer Relationship Skills In Macao Casinos: An Empirical Study, Carlos S. Lam

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

This study uses qualitative methods to better understand how the informal learning of frontline employees influenced their customer relationship skills in dealing with patrons at gaming tables, in the hope of achieving positive customer experiences in a competitive environment in Macao. As casino operators need to get their employees to work after limited formal training, they might find that their emphasis on formal training might be insufficient to provide patrons with customized service in Macao. In this context, the concept of informal learning, which is determined and directed by learners themselves to further improve what they have learned from their …


The Effect Of Online Gaming On Commercial Casino Revenue, Kahlil S. Philander Nov 2012

The Effect Of Online Gaming On Commercial Casino Revenue, Kahlil S. Philander

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

This study estimates the effect of the online gaming industry on the commercial casino gaming industry. The findings from this study suggest that during the pre-UIGEA period, online gaming was a moderate substitute good for brick and mortar gaming in the U.S. During this early period in the online gaming market, which was characterized by loose regulation and relatively easy access, online gaming revenue is estimated to have cannibalized commercial casino revenue at a rate of 27 to 30 cents on the dollar. A discussion of this finding’s relevance to the current gaming market and the related policy considerations is …


What Is Intellectual Capital?, Mikael Ahlgren Nov 2012

What Is Intellectual Capital?, Mikael Ahlgren

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The transformation of Las Vegas from the domestic center of gaming to the future global command center of the gaming industry is an ambitious undertaking. The city of Houston, Texas successfully underwent a similar evolution in the 1980s. Now recognized as a global hub of the energy industry, Houston's stakeholders often credit intellectual capital as a primary driver of their success. This article provides an introduction to intellectual capital theory and offers Las Vegas and its stakeholders some guidance for future examinations of the city's intellectual resources.


Las Vegas And Houston: Global Command Centers In The Sun Belt, Bo J. Bernhard, Mikael Ahlgren Nov 2012

Las Vegas And Houston: Global Command Centers In The Sun Belt, Bo J. Bernhard, Mikael Ahlgren

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Apart from their notoriously hot summers, Las Vegas, Nevada and Houston, Texas appear to have little in common. Upon further scrutiny, however, the two cities have followed strikingly parallel trajectories. As a hub of commercial gaming today, Las Vegas faces challenges comparable to the obstacles Houston encountered in the 1970s and 1980s as a hub of oil and energy. The story of Houston since this downtime reflects a stunning transformation into a modern-day international city, and one that both parallels and portends a new Las Vegas. In this article, we argue that Houston provides a viable model for Las Vegas …


The World City Of Gaming, Robert E. Lang, Christina Nicholas Nov 2012

The World City Of Gaming, Robert E. Lang, Christina Nicholas

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

There are many routes to world city status. Most places get there by being financial, trade, or manufacturing hubs, or as is the case with the biggest and most connected world cities, a concentration of all three. Las Vegas took a different path. It achieved world city status via one key sector—gaming.
