IS IT TIME TO TAP INTO THE REAL-MONEY MOBILE GAMING BOOM ? Probability_Feb 1...Market Engel SAS
Exploring the opportunities for media owners, app developers, marketing agencies and mobile network operators to generate extra revenue, attract new customers by tapping into the mobile real money gaming boom. Gambling on mobile devices will generate €19bn of revenue worldwide in 2018 (H2 Gambling Capital). Mobile is an unstoppable force in the gambling industry. Almost half of on-line betting in the UK has already switched to mobile, and no major gambling operator can afford not to have a mobile site. Mobile is disrupting gambling in less obvious ways by bringing in a whole new type of customer, and opening up the opportunity to brands and marketeers from outside the traditional industry to promote casual, entertainment focussed, gambling games direct to mobile. Recently we’ve noticed a growing number of non-gambling companies approach us with an interest in entering the sector. They are attracted by the potential to increase revenues, to attract, retain and engage customers. But they’re not gambling businesses, and they don’t want
to be gambling businesses. Our White Label partnership programme is designed to meet that need. These partners often share the same questions and concerns about
gambling - how it works, who plays, why they play, where they play. To help answer these questions we invited a sample of our UK customers to participate in a mobile survey. Nearly 4000 participated. In this White Paper you will get many of the answers and insights you need to map out your path into mobile entertainment gambling.
Our survey reveals which social and other media channels they use, the gender split
of players, the average game play session time, peak times of play, and the top 5 regions in the UK for cash game players. We think you’ll agree with us that, with the right partner and strategy, real money mobile games present a fantastic opportunity
for brands, media owners, marketing agencies and mobile network.

Fine Tuning Today to
Better Serve You Tomorrow
Kathie Oviedo, Deputy Comm.,
Charitable Gaming
For almost forty years licensed organizations have used charitable
gaming proceeds to improve local communities in extraordinary
ways by providing scholarships, camps, and school programs for
under-privileged children; aiding financially disadvantaged families;
helping homeless and drug addicted individuals; making available
refuge for victims of domestic violence; building parks and
playgrounds for our children; offering programs for senior citizen
centers; supporting local police and fire departments; and giving much needed services
to our veterans and military families. These are but a few examples demonstrating the
positive impact charitable gaming has on the communities in which we all live.
My utmost appreciation and respect goes to the organizations, suppliers, locations,
volunteers and players for their dedication in making a difference in our communities
through charitable gaming, which provided millions of dollars to communities all across
Michigan.
The Charitable Gaming Division will be taking new strategies that involve an enhanced
public affairs role to include the development of improved communication through
social media, and more convenient and accessible education and training
opportunities. In addition, we are dedicated to providing efficient customer service and
continual improvement of the charitable gaming activities through new game
opportunities, technology, and effective regulation. Our initiative is to ensure that
charities, suppliers and others work together and operate with honesty and integrity and
in the public interest. Success of charitable gaming is dependent upon fair and
productive partnerships between all participants in the sector so together we can make
this a great program.

HIGHLIGHT$Millionaire Party Moratorium Clarification
In order to minimize the number of locations
holding gambling events in the state, the
bureau under its authority in the Act and rules
determined that it was in the best interest of the
public welfare to restrict the expansion of the
millionaire party program. As a result the
commissioner has issued a directive that provides
for a moratorium on issuing supplier licenses to
new applicants and on issuing a gaming license
to an applicant who proposes to conduct its
millionaire party at a location that is not actively
on file with the Bureau. This moratorium does not prohibit an organization from applying
for a millionaire party license proposing to conduct the event at a location that is
actively on file with the Bureau.
MP Game Records—Don’t Leave Them Behind!
At the end of each day of a millionaire party, all records
should be printed off and the chairperson should take the
records off-site and after the event, file them with the
organization. Under no circumstances should the records
remain at the location. Millionaire Party Rule 403 (7) states, “The
chairperson shall be in full charge of the licensed gaming
event, supervise and direct all workers, and be responsible for
assuring the proper receipting, recording, and depositing of all money derived from the
conduct of the licensed gaming event.”

Protecting Profit at Your Veteran or Fraternal Club
Charity game tickets should be reconciled at least quarterly by an officer other than the
person completing the weekly records. This can be done for any given time period
(bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) but should be consistent.
At the beginning of the first time period to be reconciled, a physical inventory must be
taken (counting the tickets) and logged as “beginning inventory” on the Charity Game
Ticket Reconciliation form. At the end of that time period, a new physical inventory can
be taken and recorded as both ending inventory for that time period and beginning
inventory for the next time period.
Gather all CGT invoices and financial statements for the time period being reconciled. If
no financial statement is available, gather all CGT Accountability forms for the period.
Complete the CGT Reconciliation form.
Beginning Inv + Purchases—Ending Inv = Tickets Sold (x Ticket Price = Sales)
Calculations can
be made
automatically
when using the
“computerized”
version of this
form on our
website. Simply
fill in the white
areas only.
If there is a notable difference between the “ticket sales” or “prizes” that were calculated on this form and
those amounts from the financial statements or accountability forms, contact your inspector.

Bingo Halls in the UK Making a Come-Back
Once a thriving way for non-profits to raise funds, declining net profits over the years
have reached the point where for the last two fiscal years, bingo in Michigan has
averaged a net loss. Of the many issues with bingo that need to be addressed, one of
the primary issues is the need to increase attendance. While annual attendance at
bingo in 1990 was over 11 million, last fiscal year reported less than 3 million.
While some organizations and halls have made an effort to attract new players, the bad
economy fuels a need-to-win mentality for many players and sense of ownership of
space, resulting in players that are unwelcoming and often openly rude to new players.
New players that engage in casual chat during the calling of bingo numbers are
shushed and those that celebrate their winnings quickly see that the majority of players
are irritated and not amused. Based on feedback from people that had such an
experience, it’s easy to assume most new players never return.
How can Michigan attract new, younger players to a bingo hall and merge them with
the current bingo players while keeping everyone happy? Some bingo halls overseas
have found a practical way to make full use of their glass-partitioned rooms.
Express & Star reporter Mark Andrews recently visited the Mecca bingo club in Oldbury
(about 125 miles northwest of London). He spoke to manager Andrew Smith and had
some interesting findings which are included in this article.
-4-
5. Mr. Smith says the club, which has the capacity for more than 1,000 people, received a
£1.7 million (about $2.6 million) makeover two years ago, and one of the most successful
moves was dividing it into two rooms (something that many halls in Michigan already
have in place).
One side of the glass partition is the informal social lounge, with soft lighting, where
customers chat over a drink during the games. The other side is the auditorium, a more
formal, quiet area, where the tables are arranged in ordered rows, to appeal to the bingo
traditionalist.
The senior citizens have not vanished completely, although they do appear to be in a
minority. Smith says the average customer’s age is now 51, with a quarter of the players
being under 35. If anything, the crowd seems to be younger during this visit. “You do
tend to get the older people in during the day, and the younger crowds at night,” he
says. “On Saturdays we have our late night Bin-glo sessions, which are predominantly for
the under-35s.”
These neon-lit sessions, which start at 9:30 p.m., have a “more outrageous the better”
dress code, and customers are invited to join in a series of free novelty games after the
main session has ended.
Kelly Atkins, a 36-year-old housewife from Tipton, is typical of the new generation of bingo
players. “I’ve been coming for around two years, my sister introduced me to it,” she says,
while casually striking off her numbers with deft hand of a seasoned pro.
“It’s better than going to the pub, at least you’ve got something to do,” says her 41-year-
old friend, Barbara Brahimaj.
A few months ago, Rowan Laybourne would never have considered setting foot in a
bingo hall, but she has become hooked completely since joining the club around a
month ago. The 20-year-old says she has been very surprised by the bingo experience.
“We’ve been coming since the day it opened,” says Susan, who is 44. “Everybody talks to
everybody else. I’m a very talkative person, I talk to everybody.” Her family goes to the
club about twice a week and share their winnings between them.
Carla, a 38-year-old caterer, adds: “It’s just about getting together, and having a drink. I
look forward to my nights here.”
Andrew says the industry had little choice but to adapt after some pretty lean times
following the introduction of the smoking ban. “That affected bingo clubs quite badly, a
significant proportion of our members were smokers,” he says. “It meant they either
stopped playing or they went outside during the interval.”
But he says it also forced clubs to re-evaluate what they offered and find ways to attract
new members. “It gave us a watershed moment to look at the offer we had, and has
given us the kind of club we have today.”
