NEWTON, MA -- 06/04/08 --
Casino City Press has announced the release of
the 2008 edition of the Nevada Gaming Almanac, the industry's best single
source for Nevada gaming market data and contact information. In addition
to summary pages with current FY 2007 profit-and-loss results, the new
edition provides five-year revenue statistics for each jurisdiction along
with essential ratios including slots per room, slots per game, and games
per square foot.
The Almanac reports that in 2007 the Nevada gaming industry saw a revenue
growth rate of 4.89 percent across all departments, which was markedly
lower than the 13.07 growth rate posted for 2006. Casino, beverage, food,
and hotel-room revenues grew by 5.72, 6.92, 2.99, and 4.96 percent,
respectively. In the games area, Pai Gow Tiles saw the most unit growth in
2007, with 51.52 percent. Penny Slots (27.70 percent) and Baccarat (26.61
percent) were a distant second and third.
The new Almanac also gives counts and distribution of gaming properties,
devices, and tables along with detailed profiles of Nevada properties,
owners, industry suppliers, and regulatory agencies. In addition, names and
titles are provided for more than 5,000 Nevada gaming executives across 40
departments.
The CD version of the Nevada Gaming Almanac provides the entire contents of
the current and prior printed almanacs in electronic format along with a
unique Gaming Market Analyzer tool that allows the user to define and
compare markets by type of gaming establishment and location (including
radius searching) and shows detailed profiles for each property in the
gaming market plus summary data such as number or properties, gaming
machines, poker tables, hotel rooms, and employees. Other CD features
include a Nevada Gaming Property Map and annual reports of Nevada gaming
businesses.
