RubinBrown Gaming Stats 2015

TRIBAL GAMING In 2014, Indian gaming generated an estimated $28.1 billion, growing at an annual rate of 0.2%. The estimated growth in gaming revenues, marks five years of consecutive growth for the tribal gaming segment. Note, throughout the remainder of this section, the revenue information presented uses 2013 data, as the 2014 data will not be released until August 2015. The challenges and opportunities included within this section are focused on the trends currently impacting Indian gaming. The continued growth in revenue is a product of overall market expansion. New tribal casinos are effectively redistributed existing revenues between tribes, while providing a minimal increase to overall revenues. Looking forward, a similar trend has been observed in 2014 and will continue for the next several years. Challenges Market saturation and increased competition is becoming the leading challenge for existing Indian gaming operations. Across the nation, tribes are working to develop more resort-destination casinos that provide patrons with more amenities and service offerings outside the gaming floor. Beyond increased competition, state governments are placing greater pressures on tribal governments through the renewal of tribal-state gaming compacts. The challenges are centered around states seeking more revenue sharing with tribal nations. As Indian gaming continues to prosper and provide for tribal nations, state governments are looking for new revenue sources to overcome budget shortfalls. As a result, state governments are attempting to collect more revenue through the compact renewal process. Opportunities With an increase in competition comes an opportunity to further differentiate. Nationwide, tribal nations are working to renovate and develop their existing casino operations to provide greater differentiation within the industry and their respective geographic markets. Outside new construction efforts, tribal nations have also seen an opportunity to further educate their neighboring communities on the economic benefits tribal gaming provides. Expansion beyond the gaming operation is also becoming more prevalent throughout tribal communities nationwide. The success of tribal gaming has resulted in millions of patrons visiting tribal lands each year. Tribes are working to develop new industries and business that will further capture the interest of these guests. Examples of these developments have included shopping centers, entertainment venues and cultural centers. Looking forward, tribal gaming operators will need to continue to find ways to further enhance the individual customer experience through the refinement of marketing programs and guest service standards. Concurrently, gaming operators will also need to find innovative ways to reduce costs through more efficient and effective compliance programs.
