Slot machine innovation has
been limited to cabinet and
graphics only, but the
fundamental game play is still
the same– bet and watch.
THE DEMOGRAPHIC IS CHANGING
Traditional Mainstream Casino Player…
 Primary market is 50-65
 Skews female

THIS SHIFT PUTS THE CLASSIC CASINO MARKET AT RISK
• Of 21-35 year olds in the USA, 35% visit casinos. However, the wagering rate of that group is only 2%.
• Barcades with classic arcade games are popular with 21-45 year olds
• Arcade chains like Dave & Busters that combine games & booze are growing
MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS
In summary - Globally, land based casinos are a $159 billion business
(VS Mobile Games: $22 billion)
• Nevada alone sees 42 million visitors to casinos per year
• Slot machine revenue is down 12.5% from 2007-2015
• Casinos are desperate for new content and revenue streams
• Your customer is already on the floor – UA is already done!
CLEARLY, THERE’S A BIG A$$ MARKET
• Unproven market – what types of skill games will make it?
• What companies attempting skill games will make it?
• And will the slot companies come around?
• Licenses per territory can cost $100,000-$1mm+
BUT WHAT ABOUT... PITFALLS?
• SLOW. 24 hour server side updates? Try 4 months
• Regulatory reviews = the suck
• Regulated hardware can be limiting
• IP that’s too “kiddie” can be outright rejected
• EVERY jurisdiction is different – per country, per state, and each
requires individual game reviews
• With Skill Gaming, can’t a pro just sit and #MakeItRain?!?
BUT WHAT ABOUT... CONTENT?
SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?

  • 7. • Of 21-35 year olds in the USA, 35% visit casinos. However, the wagering rate of that group is only 2%. • Barcades with classic arcade games are popular with 21-45 year olds • Arcade chains like Dave & Busters that combine games & booze are growing MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS
  • 8. In summary - Globally, land based casinos are a $159 billion business (VS Mobile Games: $22 billion) • Nevada alone sees 42 million visitors to casinos per year • Slot machine revenue is down 12.5% from 2007-2015 • Casinos are desperate for new content and revenue streams • Your customer is already on the floor – UA is already done! CLEARLY, THERE’S A BIG A$$ MARKET
  • 9. • Unproven market – what types of skill games will make it? • What companies attempting skill games will make it? • And will the slot companies come around? • Licenses per territory can cost $100,000-$1mm+ BUT WHAT ABOUT... PITFALLS?
  • 10. • SLOW. 24 hour server side updates? Try 4 months • Regulatory reviews = the suck • Regulated hardware can be limiting • IP that’s too “kiddie” can be outright rejected • EVERY jurisdiction is different – per country, per state, and each requires individual game reviews • With Skill Gaming, can’t a pro just sit and #MakeItRain?!? BUT WHAT ABOUT... CONTENT?
