Human Resource Issues In The Gaming Industry, Vincent H. Eade Dec 2012

Human Resource Issues In The Gaming Industry, Vincent H. Eade

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The gaming industry is currently experiencing unprecedented growth and with this growth, a myriad of business concerns have emerged. Perhaps the single greatest priority is to understand the needs of our most important industry asset: our employees. As with any service business, success is predicated on the quality of the product delivered by workers and employee performance often has it roots and can be traced to the degree of job satisfaction and training realized by the workforce.


Prospects And Strategies Of Gaming Ventures In China, Zheng Gu Dec 2012

Prospects And Strategies Of Gaming Ventures In China, Zheng Gu

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

This paper analyzes the prospects of gaming ventures in China and discusses the strategies for Western investors. A strong demand for gambling, changing government attitudes, increased wealth and leisure, and a fairly established foundation of tourism have created a favorable climate for gaming ventures in China. The major risks are political instability, policy inconsistency, and inflation. To develop gaming projects in China, Western gaming investors need to choose the right regions and build casinos different from those in Las Vegas. At the current stage, active involvement with a small amount of capital is recommended.

Changes In Gaming And Gaming Participants In The United States, Roy A. Cook, Laura J. Yale Dec 2012

Changes In Gaming And Gaming Participants In The United States, Roy A. Cook, Laura J. Yale

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Public interest and acceptance of casino gaming as a recreational activity has resulted in a proliferation of gaming locations. The spread of gaming locations and the acceptance of gaming as a legitimate leisure activity may be explained from a marketing perspective through diffusion theory. Gaming could see continued revenue growth and participation or, like lotteries, it could face saturation and even decline. To avoid the potential problems associated with maturation, gaming operators may need to review the experiences of state lotteries which have faced and dealt with the problems of maturation and saturation.

Sport Tourists In A Gaming Destination: Predicting Gaming And Non-Gaming Expenditures, Chris Brown, James A. Busser, Seyhmus Baloglu

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Sport tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry. Although there are a number of benefits to cities as a result of sport tourism, the most desired aspect of hosting contests is economic impact. This study examined the gaming and non-gaming impact of six major sporting events held in Las Vegas over a ten-year period. The results indicate that length of stay is a significant contributor to economic impact and that sport tourism has an important role to play in the economy of Las Vegas.

Analyzing The Relationship Between Systematic Risk And Financial Variables In The Casino Industry, Toni Repetti, Jungsun Kim

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The gaming industry, previous to 2007, had experienced a continued increase in revenues and stock prices, but in late 2007, the industry started to be affected by a recession. To have a better understanding of the relationship between this external economic factor (recession) and a gaming company's systematic risk (beta), this study analyzed which financial ratios are significant predictors of beta and evaluated if these financial ratios better predict beta before or during the recession. The financial ratios examined in this study include return on assets, liabilities as a percentage of assets, asset turnover, quick ratio, EBIT growth rate, and …


Estimating The Impact Of California Tribal Gaming On Demand For Casino Gaming In Nevada, William R. Eadington, Richard H. Wells, Derek Gossi Dec 2012

Estimating The Impact Of California Tribal Gaming On Demand For Casino Gaming In Nevada, William R. Eadington, Richard H. Wells, Derek Gossi

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Since 1990, the California tribal casino industry has grown from a very small and insignificant industry to one with annual gross gaming revenues of about $7.5 billion per annum by 2009. Over this same period, Nevada's gaming revenues grew from approximately $5.0 billion in 1990 to $10.4 billion in 2009, having declined from a peak of $12.8 billion in 2007. Much of the recent decline in Nevada and especially Las Vegas can be attributed to the severity of the economic recession of 2007-2009. However, the major Northern Nevada destination resorts of Reno and South Lake Tahoe had experienced substantial slowdowns …


''Shots From The Pulpit:'' An Ethnographic Content Analysis Of United States Anti-Gambling Social Movement Documents From 1816-2010, Bo J. Bernhard, Robert Futrell, Andrew Harper Dec 2012

''Shots From The Pulpit:'' An Ethnographic Content Analysis Of United States Anti-Gambling Social Movement Documents From 1816-2010, Bo J. Bernhard, Robert Futrell, Andrew Harper

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The history of anti-gambling impulses is perhaps as old as the gambling impulse itself, but academic research has thus far neglected the topic of anti-gambling social movements. Using social movement literature as a theoretical guide and ethnographic content analysis as a methodological tool, this paper examines anti-gambling documents produced in the United States over nearly two hundred years. During this period, three distinct periods emerge: first, an early ( 1816-1915) period framed the gambling act on strict religious grounds as an individual sin. This religious framing was then challenged by the rise of more rational and scientifically-based medical discourses on …


Evaluating The Impact Of A New Resort Amenity On Gaming Business Volumes, Anthony F. Lucas, Sarah Tanford Dec 2012

Evaluating The Impact Of A New Resort Amenity On Gaming Business Volumes, Anthony F. Lucas, Sarah Tanford

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Using performance data from an Atlantic City hotel-casino, theoretical models are advanced to estimate the effects of a new indoor pool/nightclub on both daily coin-in and table game drop. This study represents the first attempt to estimate the indirect gaming contributions of a new nongaming amenity. The pool/nightclub variable was found to significantly increase table game drop at a rate of $150,500 per day, but it failed to produce a significant effect in the coin-in model. The core model, design, and results described herein are critical to operators and developers alike, as estimating the impacts of new nongaming amenities on …
