Newton, Massachusetts, Oct. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Casino City Press today announced the release of the 2018 Edition of Casino City’s Indian Gaming Industry Report – the most comprehensive, up-to-date study of Indian gaming available – authored by Dr. Alan Meister, CEO and Principal Economist of Meister Economic Consulting, LLC, who has done extensive research and analysis on Indian gaming issues over the past 18 years.
Dr. Meister highlights that “while we saw slightly slower growth year over year for Indian gaming on a nationwide basis, it outpaced other casino gaming segments as well as the economy. Both are good signs. And the even faster growth of non-gaming revenue is impressive. All are evidence of the continuing evolution of Indian gaming.”
Significant findings include the following:
The Report provides nationwide and state statistics (the latter not available anywhere else) for calendar year 2016, the most current data available, including: gaming and non-gaming revenue; Class II vs. Class III gaming; number of facilities, tribes, gaming machines, and table games; and revenue sharing with federal, state, and local governments. The Report also includes comparisons across states, state-by-state market summaries, historical perspective and trends, an assessment of the recent performance of Indian gaming, comparisons to other gaming segments, an economic impact analysis measuring Indian gaming’s contribution to the U.S. economy, and a future outlook including potential growth opportunities and challenges.
Casino City’s Indian Gaming Industry Report is relied upon by the gaming industry, other related industries, tribal and non-tribal governments, gaming regulatory agencies, the investment community, academics, gaming consultants, and news outlets. As in previous years, this report continues to be the product of independent scholarly research. Neither Dr. Meister nor Meister Economic Consulting nor Casino City was commissioned to prepare it.
