  • Riverboat Site Selection Lesley Johnson Ph.D
    Riverboat Site Selection Lesley Johnson Ph.D. Student William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration University of Nevada, Las Vegas and John Bowen, Ph.D. Associate Professor William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration University of Nevada, Las Vegas Abstract The riverboat casino is the most rapidly expanding segment of the gaming industry. Six states have already legalized riverboat/dockside gaming, and it is currently under review in at least 13 other states. The explosion of this gaming market is fueled by a combination of demand and supply side forces. Gaming, as a form of entertainment, is growing in popularity and acceptance. States experiencing hard economic times view riverboat gaming as a means to generate both non-tax receipts and tourism. Gaming companies seek to profit from this emerging market that has an apparently high demand and, initially, little competition. Competition, however, must continue at a level that allows a new entrant to gain a profitable share of the market. As competition in riverboat gaming continues to escalate, site selection will become an increasingly important factor in predicting the future success or failure of an operation. This paper looks at locational issues in Iowa and Illinois based on market and com­ petitive forces. A regression model, using financial data from the respective state's gam­ ing boards and demographic data from SCAN/US, was developed to relate the gross win and win per square foot (dependent variables) to the independent variable ofa population radius. The results were compared to a survey of gaming executives operating in the same states. Introduction Read My Lips -- No New Taxes.

  • December 22, 2016 RE: Table Game Rules MGL C
    TO: Massachusetts Gaming Commission FROM: Carrie Torrisi, Staff Attorney DATE: December 22, 2016 RE: Table Game Rules M.G.L. c. 23K, § 2, defines “table game” as “a game, other than a slot machine, which is authorized by the commission to be played in a gaming establishment.” Table games include “standard” games such as poker, roulette, craps, and baccarat, as well as any number of more obscure games or game variations. Before Category 1 licensees begin operating casinos in the Commonwealth, it is important that the rules of each and every table game that is authorized for play are clearly defined. To that end, the Commission should establish a process by which it approves and authorizes the rules to be followed in the conduct of table games and a process by which those rules are made available to the public. The Commission should consider (1) how to proceed with respect to the initial promulgation of regulations governing table game rules; and (2) how to proceed with respect to proposed new games or game variations following the initial promulgation of the regulations. Following is a survey of processes followed with respect to table game rules in five jurisdictions: Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. I. Authorization of Games for Play All states but Ohio authorize several “standard” games (e.g., poker, blackjack, craps, roulette) by way of a statutory definition of table game.1 1 Nevada: “Game” or “gambling game” means any game played with cards, dice, equipment or any mechanical, electromechanical or electronic device or machine for money, property, checks, credit or any representative of value, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, faro, monte, roulette, keno, bingo, fan-tan, twenty-one, blackjack, seven-and-a-half, big injun, klondike, craps, poker, chuck-a-luck, Chinese chuck-a-luck (dai shu), wheel of fortune, chemin de fer, baccarat, pai gow, beat the banker, panguingui, slot machine, any banking or percentage game or any other game or device approved by the Commission..
