Webinar Series - Spectrumetrix - Navigating Changing Markets with Spectrumetrix
If your market is changing in a major way, chances are…there is a precedent. Other markets have seen casinos open and close. Other states have offered new forms of betting, such as i-gaming or sports betting, or had to react as their neighbors offered new forms of betting and attracted additional business from near the border. Spectrumetrix, with its collection of current and historical gaming data, from markets across the US, offers you the opportunity to learn from those examples, and position your property or state for future success.
If a new casino is about to open in your market, will it look more like Chicago (2011), Baltimore (2014), Boston (2019) or Chicago (2021)?
Each case is slightly different. Spectrumetrix offers you the data to study each event, measuring how much new revenue was added to the market compared against how much was lost by pre-existing casinos. Were certain casinos affected more or less depending on their geographic positioning, and other factors?

Webinar Series - Key Insights into the Pandemic and the Casino Industry's Reopening
Dr. Geoff Atkinson (MSA) looks at some interesting trends as casinos reopen from the Covid-19 closures. A casino’s success is greatly influenced by whether its nearby competitors were allowed to open at the same time, and under the same restrictions. In many cases, casinos that were willing to push promotional spending to close to 2019 levels have been rewarded by revenues also approaching 2019 levels. Online gaming has been a significant boon to casinos that already had a strong online presence before the shutdown.
