  • So, Have You Been to Poipet?
    So, Have You Been to Poipet? Fri, Apr 25, 2014 The Cambodian city close to greater Bangkok presents a unique opportunity. When examining the major casino markets of Asia, Macau and Singapore most often come to mind. Most gaming executives are familiar with these markets, and their prodigious gaming revenue performance continues to attract the interest of the media and financial analysts. The extraordinary performance of these markets has caused casino developers to look more closely at other regional Asia markets such as South Korea, Vietnam and Japan as they look for that next great opportunity. What are often overlooked are other regional Asian markets that are already established yet are somewhat removed from major Asian cities. These gaming markets generate prodigious amounts of gaming revenue and serve as convenience-based gaming destinations to regional populations. One such market is Poipet, Cambodia, which serves residents living in greater Bangkok, a metropolitan area with over 10 million people. With legal casinos prohibited in Thailand, Poipet is the nearest gaming option for those residents. Poipet sits across from Aranya Prathet, a border town in northeastern Thailand that serves as the primary overland crossing between those two countries. The casino district is comprised of seven properties, ranging in quality from two-and-a-half stars to three-and-a-half stars. Each casino has 65-100 table games, 125-300 slots and 140-550 hotel rooms. Poipet casinos’ location relative to each country’s immigration checkpoints is unique. One leaves Thailand and enters the Poipet casino district without actually going through Cambodian Immigration.

  • Fiscal and Capacity Requirements
    CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR THE GAMING REGULATORY OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY Area 2: Fiscal and Capacity Requirements October 21, 2013 0 Table of Contents 1 Approach By direction of NH RSA 284-A, the New Hampshire Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority has directed WhiteSand to prepare a report identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the 2013 NH legislative proposals as compared to the best and most relevant components of the regulatory provisions in the other comparator states. This part of the report addresses fiscal and capacity requirements: WhiteSand has approached this particular task using a formal methodology to determine market demand. We reviewed the specific demographics and other attributes of the gaming jurisdiction to be evaluated. This included, but was not limited to, population, income levels, age distribution, nearby competition and gaming tax rates. We evaluated these factors within ranges of 30, 60 and 90 miles of the proposed gaming facility general location. In order to provide a consistent measurement of demographics within a specific region we use distance radii from the region. Using distance rather than driving time eliminates fluctuations due to drive times, day of week, unpredictable events (e.g., accidents, weather, etc.) and other factors. Distance radii are translatable to drive times in most scenarios and provide more consistent results due to the reduction of unpredictability. Using this information, we then identifed a “Competitive Set” for the proposed gaming facility - other gaming properties to be compared based on similar demographics and characteristics. While the properties identified in the competitive set usually do not provide an exact match, they present enough similarities to evaluate market demand and estimate key financial statistics.

  • The Economic Winners and Losers of Legalized Gambling
    The Economic Winners and Losers of Legalized Gambling Melissa Schettini Kearney Brookings Institution 1775 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036-2103 202-797-6406 [email protected] February 2005 Abstract: This paper reviews the government role in the legalized gambling sector and addresses some of the major issues relevant to any normative analysis of what the government role should be. In particular, the paper reviews evidence identifying the economic “winners” and “losers” associated with the three largest sectors of the industry: commercial casinos, state lotteries, and Native American casinos. The paper also includes a discussion of the growing internet gambling industry. In addition to reviewing existing literature and evidence, the paper raises relevant questions and policy issues that have not yet been adequately addressed in the economics literature. INTRODUCTION In the past three decades, legalized gambling in the United States has grown from a limited activity to one that is extremely commonplace. Gambling in some form is now legal in every state except Hawaii and Utah. Gallup data from 2004 show that two in three Americans report participating in some form of gambling activity in the last 12 months, with state lotteries being the most common. As legalized gambling continues to grow in popularity and prevalence, and new forms of gaming are introduced and expanded, there is much public debate about the costs and benefits of this sector of the economy. The gambling sector has always been viewed as different from other sectors of the economy. Unlike other industries in which the market is the principal determinant of supply and demand, government decisions have largely determined the size and form of the legalized gambling sector in the United States.

  • Asian Casino Marketing: I'm Not Chinese, I'm Vietnamese
    Asian Casino Marketing: I’m not Chinese, I’m Vietnamese By Steve Karoul Asian Casino Marketing is not as easy as it sounds. In fact, it is a fairly complicated process and if not performed properly it can actually be perceived as offensive to the intended recipients. There is an old expression in Asia that when translated goes something like this, “Asia is not Asia”. When you think about it you begin to better understand its subtle message; one size does not fit all and Asia is neither one country nor one culture. Asia is a vast melting pot of numerous different countries, languages and cultures. Some of them have marked differences based upon thousands of years of history and cultural evolution. Asians are extremely nationalistic and proud of their own cultures and customs. Therefore, it is extremely offensive to generalize all Asians as one in the same. They are not. Successful casino marketers will understand this up front and make every effort to research their target markets before jumping into any new Asian marketing campaign. Chinese is normally the largest Asian culture in the United States but this may vary when segmented by geographic locations or from city to city. In some instances, Vietnamese or another Asian culture may dominate on a local basis close a particular casino. Never-the-less, many uninformed casino marketing managers still insist upon copying and implementing marketing strategies specifically developed to target and satisfy Chinese gamblers. However, this approach may backfire on you and actually be offensive if your Asian players are not Chinese.
