Do Job, Age, And Place Of Residence Matter For Gaming Activity? A Study Of The Mid-Colorado River Communities, Wuyang Hu, George W. Borden, Thomas R. Harris, Leigh J. Maynard
Do Job, Age, And Place Of Residence Matter For Gaming Activity? A Study Of The Mid-Colorado River Communities, Wuyang Hu, George W. Borden, Thomas R. Harris, Leigh J. Maynard
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
A household survey in the mid-Colorado River communities of Laughlin, Nevada and Bullhead City, Arizona examined local residents' gaming activities. A censored regression analysis distinguished between factors affecting gaming participation versus expenditures. Results suggest that gaming behavior can often be predicted with knowledge of individuals' residence, workplace, and other household demographic characteristics. Both local government agencies and casino managers can use the results to make better-informed decisions.
Influence Of Personal Factors On Macau Residents' Gaming Impact Perceptions, Fanny Vong
Influence Of Personal Factors On Macau Residents' Gaming Impact Perceptions, Fanny Vong
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This paper explores the influence of personal factors on gaming impact perceptions using Macau, China as a case study. The objective is to examine how residents' gaming perceptions were affected by (1) personal benefits received from gaming; (2) length of residence; and (3) demographic characteristics. The study also aims to assess the relative magnitude of influence exerted by each variable on gaming impact perceptions. All personal factors were found to contribute to differences in gaming impact perceptions among sub-groups of respondents. Regression analyses revealed that age, education and residence status had influence on gaming impact perceptions. Findings support that the …

Industry Labor Force Quality: An Investigation From The Customer Service Perspective, Zheng Gu, Ricardo Chi Sen Siu
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
To investigate the labor force quality deficiency in the Macao casino industry, this study conducted a survey among Macao casino guests on their assessment of customer service. The mean scores of different service features were calculated and compared across casinos operated by different casino companies. Furthermore, different service features were examined for their importance to the overall customer satisfaction based on an estimated regression model. The study found that most of the service features were below satisfactory rating, but Wynn Resorts stood out as the top performer among the four gaming companies. The regression model identified "respect", "smile" and "skill" …

An Observation Study Of Chinese Baccarat Players, Desmond Lam
An Observation Study Of Chinese Baccarat Players, Desmond Lam
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The Chinese gaming market, Macau in particular, is one of the biggest opportunities in the world today. Many industry observers have reported a clear interest among Chinese in playing baccarat. Together, VIP and non-VIP baccarat accounted for as much as 85% of Macau's 2005 gross casino gaming revenue. This paper documented and examined the psychology of Chinese baccarat players through a 'non-participatory' observation study. The study discovered some peculiar behaviors about these Chinese gamblers that included a display of high illusion of control. Chinese baccarat players appeared to derive monetary, excitement, entertainment and social values from baccarat gaming. The results …
Formal Rules, Informal Constraints, And Industrial Evolution-The Case Of The Junket Operator Regulation And The Transition Of Macao's Casino Business, Ricardo Chi Sen Siu
Formal Rules, Informal Constraints, And Industrial Evolution-The Case Of The Junket Operator Regulation And The Transition Of Macao's Casino Business, Ricardo Chi Sen Siu
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Following the approach of institutional economics to study the interaction between the changing formal rules and the evolving informal constraints, alongside the dynamics leading to industrial evolution, this paper will firstly examine the particular social and economic settings which bring about the informal constraints for the business practice of Macao's casino junket operators, and the feedback from the system which in turn triggered the evolution of the informal constraints since the middle of the 1980s. Extending from our understanding of the custom and practice of this business in the "old Macao". this paper will further discuss the role of the …
Exploring Social Exchange Theory Dynamics In Native American Casino Settings, Deepak Chhabra
Exploring Social Exchange Theory Dynamics In Native American Casino Settings, Deepak Chhabra
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The proliferation of Native American casino (NAC) gambling over the past few decades has generated a concern over the social, economic, and environmental impacts. This study examined the local resident perceptions of casino gambling impacts and their subsequent support for the NACs within the Social Exchange Theory (SET) framework. It further applied a similar framework to the non-NAC settings. While majority of the impact constructs failed to generate support for the NACs in the presence of intervening variables, a significant application of SET appeared among the non-NAC communities. Benefits were found to be significant for facilitating higher levels of support …
Assessing Sports Advisory Services: Do They Provide Value For Football Bettors?, Jerry Fox, Karl J. Mayer
Assessing Sports Advisory Services: Do They Provide Value For Football Bettors?, Jerry Fox, Karl J. Mayer
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study examined the effectiveness of sports advisory services in football betting. Using three different cases with recent data, it compared the actual outcomes of the football games to sports advisory services' predictions in order to test their prediction accuracy for those games. The results showed none of the three data sets exceeded the threshold for profitable wagering. Thus, in football wagering, sports advisory services often fail to achieve their claims of accurate game prediction capabilities. The study suggests that these services may not provide any real advisory value to the sports betting community.
Gambling Alone? A Study Of Solitary And Social Gambling In America, Bo J. Bernhard, David R. Dickens, Paul D. Shapiro
Gambling Alone? A Study Of Solitary And Social Gambling In America, Bo J. Bernhard, David R. Dickens, Paul D. Shapiro
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
In his acclaimed 2000 book Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam documents a disturbing social trend of the broadest kind. Putnam cites a wide variety of data that indicate that over the past fifty years, Americans have become increasingly socially disengaged. In developing this theme, Putnam specifically cites the increase in casino gambling (and especially machine gambling) as evidence in support of his argument. Building on the empirical and theoretical work of Putnam, this exploratory article examines the subphenomenon of "gambling alone" by exploring sample survey data on solitary and social gambling behavior among adults who reside in Las Vegas, Nevada. Specifically, …

Simulating The Effect Of Pay Table Standard Deviation On Pulls Per Losing Player At The Single-Visit Level, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh, Laxmi P. Gewali
Simulating The Effect Of Pay Table Standard Deviation On Pulls Per Losing Player At The Single-Visit Level, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh, Laxmi P. Gewali
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
While holding par constant, changes in the standard deviation of the pay table produced an inverse effect on pulls per losing player (PPLP), across six different virtual slot machines. This result establishes the standard deviation of a game as a crucial determinant of a slot player's experience. Three different single-trip scenarios were examined via computer simulation, with 50,000 players engaging each game. For example, virtual players began with 100 units, terminating play at bankruptcy or 200 units. As players focus on the outcome of single visits, understanding the determinants of PPLP (or time on device) will help management engineer desirable …
Perceived Impacts Of Gambling: Integration Of Two Theories, Deepak Chhabra, Dogan Gursoy
Perceived Impacts Of Gambling: Integration Of Two Theories, Deepak Chhabra, Dogan Gursoy
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study explores the race and educational attainment variations on resident perceptions and support for a proposed casino development. In addition, it investigates the influence of perceived benefits and costs on casino gambling support. The findings indicate that residents who are likely to receive personal benefits from gambling development tend to believe that its socioeconomic benefits outweigh the associated costs. Respondents' race is found to exercise a significant influence on their perceptions of benefits and costs, and casino development support. This study integrates two separate research streams of social exchange theory and social representation theory, and in doing so makes …
An Examination Of Mississippi Gulf Coast Casino Management Styles With Implications For Employee Turnover, Jerome Agrusa, Joseph D. Lema
An Examination Of Mississippi Gulf Coast Casino Management Styles With Implications For Employee Turnover, Jerome Agrusa, Joseph D. Lema
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of casino employees on management styles and the relationship of these perceptions on the employee turnover rate. The sample consisted of a balanced representation of supervisory and nonsupervisory employees. Supervisors tended to perceive themselves and their managerial style in a much move favorable light than did their employees. Future research should continue to address issues of employee retention in the casino industry and adopt strategies that can retain valuable employees while reducing employee turnover costs. Human resource development processes should support managerial styles that facilitate collaborative decision making and participative …

Internal Marketing: An Antidote For Macau's Labor Shortage, Sudhir H. Kale
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Gaming scholars the world over are in consensus about Macau's bright future as a gaming Mecca. The phenomenal growth in gaming facilities over the last three years has created an acute labor shortage in this Special Administrative Region of China. Moreover, around twenty additional gaming and hotel projects have been committed so far, all slated for completion in the next five years. Expansion on such massive scale will further intensify competition among employers to recruit and retain employees, particularly if the provincial government maintains its current restrictions on importing labor into the region. One, and arguably the only way to …

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

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
An input-output model is utilized to assesses the economic impact of gambling in Native American casinos in Wisconsin. Important facts include interview information from 697 players. Positive economic gains discovered for local casino areas are offset by losses to other parts of the state and by losses due to social costs.
Job Quality And Job Satisfaction Among Casino Workers: The Case Of Foxwoods, Donald M. Peppard Jr., Frances A. Boudreau
Job Quality And Job Satisfaction Among Casino Workers: The Case Of Foxwoods, Donald M. Peppard Jr., Frances A. Boudreau
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This article examines the quality of casino jobs at the largest Indian casino in the United States. It uses survey responses to measure how Foxwoods' employees evaluate various aspects of their jobs, and it also considers other aspects of job quality such as wages, fringe benefits, and wage inequality. The results are part of the growing literature that considers issues important to the gaming industry in the United States.

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
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 …

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes: Fqhcs And Community Clinics In A Reformed Health Care Market, Jessamyn Taylor
National Health Policy Forum
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Supreme Court’s related decision have significantly shifted the health care landscape for safety net providers. Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are a mainstay of primary care for the uninsured and those with limited access to care. This paper focuses on the impact of health reform on FQHCs given the significant federal investment in them through grants, Medicaid, and Medicare reimbursement. Where noteworthy, the effect on non-FQHC community clinics is also discussed. The implications of Medicaid coverage expansions (or lack thereof in states that choose not to expand), Medicaid disproportionate …
