THE CASINO INDUSTRY
*
On February 21, 2013,
Revel
, the only new casino built in Atlantic City in almost a decade,
was preparing to file for bankruptcy. The $2.4 billion
megaresort built on 20 acres of beachfront had opened only
eight months earlier. “We will continue to improve customer
service and roll out new amenities for our guests,” said Kevin
DeSanctis, the casino’s chief executive officer.
1
The fate of the
Revel
has reflected the effect of the recent economic crunch on
casinos, particularly in places like Las Vegas and Atlantic City,
as people have been forced to cut back on their spending.

7. Even as casinos struggle to show profits, there are growing
concerns about the growth potential of places such as Las Vegas
and Atlantic City over the longer term (see
Exhibit 1
). The economic slowdown forced potential visitors to put off
their travel plans and find some type of casino activity closer to
where they live. As economic conditions improve, it is not clear
how many of these patrons will return to these two major casino
destinations. With some form of casino now allowed in over
half of the states (see
Exhibit 2
), competition is developing all over

casinos (see
Exhibit 3
).
Similar concerns are being raised about the growth of
competition in various locations outside the United States. Over
the years, casinos have been developed in various parts of
Europe and Asia, and these compete for the high rollers who
have been frequent visitors to Las Vegas and Atlantic City in
the past. In 2007, Macau replaced Las Vegas as the leading
casino gambling center, after the opening of
Sands Macao
, Macau’s first Las Vegas-style casino, three years ago. Other
Las Vegas-based casinos have also entered this market with
lavish properties, such as
MGM Macau
and
Wynn Macau
.

For years, casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City have fought
back by developing extravagant new properties. But it has been
harder to obtain financing as the latest additions, such as the
Revel
in Atlantic City and the
Palazzo

15. in Las Vegas, have failed to draw enough clients. MGM Mirage
had to search for new partners to push ahead with its ambitious
City Center
, which was completed in 2012, although work on one of the
luxury hotel towers has been abandoned. Covering 67 acres, this
$8.5 billion minicity includes luxury hotels, condominium units,
a convention center, and retail space.
Most indicative of the downturn in Las Vegas is the half-
completed
Echelon Place
, on which work has been suspended since 2009. At more than
$4 billion, the 5,000-room hotel and retail complex was
expected to be far more expensive than the previous record for a
single casino, which was set when Steve Wynn built his $2.7
billion
Wynn Las Vegas
. “The last four or five years showed our dependence on the
national economy. We always knew it, but this is the first time
it really hit us,” said Billy Vassiliadis, the head of an
advertising agency that represents the Las Vegas Convention
and Visitors Authority.

Riding the Growth Wave
Although some form of gambling in the United States can been
traced back to colonial times, the recent advent of casinos began
with the legalization of gaming in Nevada in 1931. For many
years, this was the only state in which casinos were allowed. As

16. a result, Nevada still retains its status as the state with the
highest revenues from casinos, with annual gambling revenues
rising to over $10 billion by 2004. After New Jersey passed
laws in 1976 to allow gambling in Atlantic City, the large
population on the East Coast gained easier access to casinos.
The further growth of casinos to other areas has occurred since
1988, as more and more states have legalized the operation of
casinos because of their ability to help generate commercial
activity and create jobs, in large part by increasing tourism.
The greatest growth has come in the form of waterborne casinos
that have begun to operate in six states that have allowed
casinos to develop at waterfronts such as rivers and lakes. By
2012, over 80 such casinos were generating about $10 billion in
annual revenues. Several of the casinos along the Gulf Coast
were destroyed or severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina. To
encourage casinos to rebuild, Mississippi lawmakers passed a
law in 2005 allowing casinos to operate up to 800 feet from the
shore, allowing them to have a stronger foundation to withstand
future hurricanes. Most of the damaged casinos in the area had
reopened by early 2007.
C13
As casinos have spread to more states, there has also been a
growing tendency to regard casino gambling as an acceptable
form of entertainment for a night out. Although casinos have
tended to draw players from all demographic segments, a recent
national survey found that their median age was 47 and their
median household income was around $50,000. On the whole,

17. casino gamblers tended to be better educated and more affluent
than those who bought lottery tickets. In fact, the bigger casinos
attracted a high-roller segment, which could stake millions of
dollars and included players from all over the world. Many of
the casinos worked hard to obtain the business of this market
segment, despite the risk that the sustained winning streak of a
single player could significantly weaken the earnings for a
particular quarter.
The growth of casino gambling has also been driven by the
significantly better payouts that they give players compared
with other forms of gambling. Based on industry estimates,
casinos typically keep less than $5 of every $100 that is
wagered. This compares favorably with racetrack betting, which
holds back over $20 of every $100 that is wagered, and with
state-run lotteries, which usually keep about $45 of every $100
that is spent on tickets. Such comparisons can be somewhat
misleading, however, because winnings are put back into play in
casinos much faster than they are in other forms of gaming.
This provides a casino with more opportunities to win from a
customer, largely offsetting its lower retention rate.
Finally, most of the growth in casino revenues has come from
the growing popularity of slot machines. These coin-operated
slot machines typically account for almost two-thirds of all
casino gaming revenues (see
Exhibit 4
). A major reason for their popularity is that it is easier for
prospective gamblers to feed a slot machine than to learn the
nuances of various table games. Slot machines were also less
labor intensive than table games. Major slot machine
manufacturers, such as International Game Technology, have

18. been making the transition to cashless or coin-free gaming by
switching to the use of tickets. With the advent of new
technology, server-based gaming will allow games on these
machines to be changed or updated from a central system.

Betting on a Few Locations
Although casinos have spread across much of the country, two
cities still dominate the casino business. Both Las Vegas and

19. Atlantic City have seen a spectacular growth in casino gaming
revenues over the years. Although Las Vegas has far more hotel
casinos, each of the dozen casinos in Atlantic City typically
generates much higher revenues. Over the last couple of
decades, these two locations accounted for almost a third of the
total revenues generated by all forms of casinos throughout the
United States.
Las Vegas clearly acts as a magnet for the overnight casino
gamblers, offering several high-end casino hotels with many
choices for fine dining, great shopping, and top-notch
entertainment. This allows the casinos to generate revenues
from offering a wide selection of activities apart from
gambling. At MGM Mirage, for example, revenue from
nongaming activities has typically accounted for almost 60
percent of net revenue in recent years. Visitors find it easy to
travel to Las Vegas, as it is linked by air to many major cities
both in the United States and around the world.
During the 1990s, Las Vegas tried to become more receptive to
families, with attractions such as circus performances, animal
reserves, and pirate battles. But the city has been very
successful with its recent return to its sinful roots, with a
stronger focus on topless shows, hot night clubs, and other adult
offerings that have been highlighted by the new advertising
slogan: “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Paul
Cappelli, who creates advertising messages, believes that Las
Vegas lost its way with the effort to become family friendly.
“People don’t see Vegas as Jellystone Park. They don’t want to
go there with a picnic basket,” he explained.
3

20. For the most part, Las Vegas has continued to show a consistent
pattern of growth in visitors. “We still compete with Orlando
and New York,” said Terry Jicinsky, head of marketing for the
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “But based on
overnight visitors, we’re the top destination in North America.”
4
In order to accommodate this growth, several of the major
resorts, such as
Bellagio, Venetian
, and
Mandalay Bay
, have added new wings. Even some of the older properties have
been given expensive renovations, such as
Caesars Palace
, which was expanded to include a new Colosseum and a new
Roman Plaza.
By comparison, Atlantic City cannot compete with Las Vegas in
terms of the broad range of dining, shopping, and entertainment
choices. It does, however, offer a beach and a boardwalk, along
which its dozen large casino hotels are lined. Atlantic City
attracts gamblers from various cities in the Northeast, many of
whom arrive by charter bus and stay for less than a day.
Atlantic City officials point out that one-quarter of the nation’s
population lives sufficiently close so that they can drive there
with just one tank of gas.
The opening of the much-ballyhooed
Revel
was part of a drive to try and make Atlantic City much more

21. competitive with Las Vegas. But it failed to replicate the
success of
