This document is a summary of the 15th Annual Bristol Associates/Spectrumetrix Executive Satisfaction Survey. Some key findings include:
- The Seminole Tribe of Florida's Hard Rock brand was rated the top employer of choice by survey respondents, surpassing Penn National Gaming which had held the top spot previously.
- Respondents placed more emphasis on factors like compensation, job security, and career stability, indicating a level of career maturity in the maturing gaming industry.
- Las Vegas was viewed as the most optimistic market for future career prospects, benefiting from new projects and ability to attract business and leisure travelers.
- Younger executives with under 10 years experience valued relationships
The document summarizes key findings from the 2017 US Reputation Dividend Report. It finds that US corporate reputations are delivering record levels of shareholder value, accounting for $4,561 billion or 20.6% of the total market capitalization of S&P 500 companies in the first half of 2017. However, this high value also reflects high risk as investor confidence is largely fueled by expectations rather than underlying financial performance. The top performing reputations belong to companies like Walt Disney, Johnson & Johnson, and Microsoft but reputation impact depends more on sector than company size.
- The Sensex ended up 0.5% while the Nifty gained 0.47% led by gains in M&M, Sun Pharma, and Asian Paints. The PSU bank index declined over 2%.
- In global markets, major indices like the DJIA and S&P 500 saw modest gains around 0.1% while the DAX declined 0.24%.
- The daily report provides technical analysis and recommendations for Nifty future (buy), Bank Nifty future (buy), Tata Motors future (sell), and Suntv future (buy).
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for both physical and mental health. It notes that regular exercise can reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes, improve mood, and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Staying active also helps maintain a healthy weight and keeps muscles, bones and joints healthy as we age.

6_Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of Sorghum vulgare in presence of root ...Aline Bruna Martins Vaz
Â
This document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of root endophytic fungi isolated from Myrtus communis on sorghum plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. 150 endophytic fungi isolates were obtained from M. communis roots, including 7 taxa belonging to Ascomycota. None of the endophytic fungi, except Drechslera sp., were able to colonize sorghum roots. Some endophytic fungi increased sorghum shoot dry weight or AM colonization. The population of most endophytic fungi in the sorghum rhizosphere remained similar over time, except for one fungus that increased.

Vermont is missing out on economic opportunities from motorsports racing due to limited sponsorship of raceways, according to VP of Finance Sharrow. New Hampshire has seized opportunities with 15 raceways, generating $100-200 million annually for local economies from NASCAR weekends. Sharrow has extensive experience in motorsports marketing and racing, including working with legend Ken Squier. He understands the powerful community and economic impacts of motorsports but sees Vermont struggling due to only having three small raceways and limited sponsorship for drivers.

This document provides an executive summary of key trends in the global casino gaming and online gaming industries from 2010 to 2015. It finds that while global casino gaming revenues grew 9.6% in 2010, regions varied significantly with EMEA declining 7.2% and North America growing only 0.2%. In stark contrast, Asia Pacific revenues leapt 49.7% in 2010 driven by new capacity in Macau and Singapore. The document also notes that Asia Pacific is projected to surpass North America as the largest casino market by 2013. Online gaming is discussed but no revenue projections are provided due to legal and regulatory uncertainties.

Serious Gaming in Singapore - A Policy MemoVikas Sharma
Â
This document proposes three alternatives to address financing issues in Singapore's serious gaming industry in order to boost its growth. Alternative 1 involves matching developers with assured clients to banks for full project financing. Alternative 2 provides partial bank financing and interest-free loans for remaining costs. Alternative 3 is similar to Alternative 2 but provides more funding. The alternatives are analyzed based on effectiveness, costs, administrative operability, robustness, and political support. Alternative 2 is recommended as the most favorable choice.

LEAP Gaming proposes to establish an e-sports agency that acts as a one-stop shop to help professional gamers and teams maximize their revenues. The agency will help connect players to teams, brands, and marketing agencies, and help build players' and teams' brands. Currently, most professional gamers are unable to reach their full earning potential due to a lack of expertise and time. The e-sports market is growing rapidly, projected to reach $1.2 billion by 2023. LEAP Gaming aims to start with 50 individual players and 6 teams in its first year, and grow its market share while scaling operations over several phases.

Introduction: Job security, compensation take center stage
The gaming industry is maturing, and so are the executives who run it. They are another year
older, and another year wiser. This year, it seems that executives are placing slightly more emphasis
on compensation, job security and other factors that would indicate a certain level of career maturity,
and that is befitting an industry that has expanded significantly across the United States in recent years,
but is facing fewer growth prospects. That is our overall key takeaway from our 15th Annual Executive
Satisfaction Survey, which had 1,021 responses, a significant leap upward from the 636 responses
received last year. Another exceptional quality to note of this sample is that half of the respondents
have changed employers within the last five years.
Favored Employers: Seminole Hard Rock is industry leader
Once again, a new leader has decisively emerged as the employer of first choice. The Seminole
Tribe of Florida, which has leveraged its valuable Hard Rock brand to become an industry leader, is
now the leading employer of choice as measured by our survey. Penn National, last yearâs most favored
employer, is close behind. Penn clearly benefits from both its attractive corporate culture and its
continued growth into new markets.
Not far behind is Mohegan Sun, which also experienced a decisive leap upward to capture third
place, moving ahead of major employers Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts. This follows from previous
years. As we noted in this report last year: âAs always, growth opportunities will drive these selections,
which helps explain why major tribal operators such as Mohegan Sun and the Seminoles, which own
the Hard Rock brand, showed such significant increases.â
This year we limit our focus to these top 5, in large part because so many respondents are
focused on these, and other contenders are far lower in the rankings. The following chart shows the
rankings:
4. Page 4 of 15

Contents cannot be republished or reproduced without the express written consent of Spectrum Gaming Group LLC.
As we note every year, the percentages listed represent only those respondents who
specifically addressed the question and made a selection. As in the past, we note that respondents
who rank potential employers are weighing multiple factors.
Wynn and MGM clearly benefit from their perception as growth opportunities as well a
common theme among all five. To a great degree, respondents to this survey seek a balance between
the security that comes from size and the opportunities that come from growth. That balance is
reflected in these top five operators.
The next chart shows how our overall survey respondents valued each major factor as it relates
to overall career satisfaction over the past four years.

This shows that those who favor Seminole Hard Rock placed somewhat greater emphasis on such
critical categories as base compensation, job security, career growth and â not surprisingly â location.
The two markets which respondents would most prefer to live in were respectively Florida and Las
Vegas. The Seminole Tribe is based in Florida and is quite dominant in that market.

There is remarkable consistency over time with Las Vegas and California vying for annual
leadership. This year Las Vegas enjoys the most optimism of US markets for the seemingly apparent
reason of its staying power, as well as the opening of several projects on the north end of The Strip.
More importantly, Las Vegas continues to do well in attracting business travel as well as vacationers
with a desire to spend on amenities other than gambling.
Casino closings in Atlantic City have so far outweighed any investment in new and emerging
non-gaming amenities leading to another bleak outlook among executives in 2015. Racinosâ outlook

may well depend on that of horse-racing, but also of convenience gaming, their primary market.
Ben Farber of Bristol Associates comments:
âWe are pleased to see that executives in every jurisdiction, even Atlantic City, are increasingly
positive about the future of their careers in the casino gaming industry. The numbers show that we
are heading back up towards the glory days of 2005 and 2006.â
Different levels of experience, types of operations
We analyze the level of contentment among respondents in various ways, starting with differentiation
based on levels of compensation:
As expected, executives who are paid less appear to be less content. As noted earlier, base
compensation remains a core driver of satisfaction. That level of contentment, however, has little
bearing on whether respondents are actively seeking other work. Notably, those executives in the mid-
range of compensation are those who appear most ready to advance their careers.

To quote Leo Tolstoy, âAll happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.â
Executives who are content with their current employers are (relatively) alike, while each restless
respondent is restless and unhappy in his or her own way. We donât know why any particular
respondent may be unhappy, but itâs safe to say that most respondents who earn more than $500,000
annually are quite content.
We took a special look at the executives with fewer years on the job, to glean their motivating factors:
These executives place a high value on their relationships with their supervisor, and an increasing value
(more than the previous year) on job security, with slightly less emphasis (again, based on year-over-
year responses) on career growth.
This comports with the finding that (as noted in an earlier chart) a relatively small number of executives
at the lower pay level are actively seeking employment elsewhere. They want career growth with their
present employer.

Optimistic and Satisfied
As has been noted in previous years, executives generally believe that their companies are
working harder to keep their staffs satisfied than they are the executives themselves. Last year, we
pointed out that this represents a hidden bias within the survey: Executives who are responsible for
keeping their staff satisfied generally believe that they are doing a good job, and are performing much
better than their own supervisors.
This yearâs results are slightly different:
Many factors could be behind that increased contentment, but it is also clear that contentment
breeds optimism:

Optimism is almost reaching an all-time high, and continues to grow in the post-recession era.
Methodology
The Bristol Associates/Spectrumetrix Executive Satisfaction Survey was conducted online, and
represents a sampling of industry executives from across North America. The total number of
responses collected was 1,021, an all-time high. This is an increase from 636 last year, 573 responses
in 2013 and 596 responses in 2012. We note that the respondents are diverse in terms of geography,
executive responsibilities, years of experience and other meaningful criteria.
The survey was posted on www.bristolassoc.com, the website of Bristol Associates, as well as on our
website, www.spectrumetrix.com. The responses were collected over several months this summer and
early fall. We publicized the survey in a press release and through email, largely to inform and
encourage executives to participate.
The survey collected data designed to ensure, among other things, that the individuals who
participated were indeed employed in the casino industry and that no one responded to the survey
more than once. At the same time, however, we did not ask questions that could identify respondents
