I’m not going to be posting much over the next several days–I’ve got a project that will keep me away from the office for a while. You’ll undoubtedly learn more about it after I’m back in touch. I’ve got a book review and something else fun in the pipeline, so you may be hearing from me sooner rather than later.

Until then, make it a good one.

All of you aspiring casino game creators (and those who are interested in how games are created) might want to read this piece in the SF Chronicle:

Webb, who splits his time these days between Las Vegas and Darby, England, likens the process of getting casinos to license the game to “pulling teeth,” and notes that it was one of the toughest challenges of his career.”I never intended to become a traveling salesman, but effectively, thats what happens,” he says. “One of the challenges of inventing is that you have to wear multiple hats to make it work.”Webb invented the game in his native United Kingdom in 1994, but before he was allowed to sell it to casinos there, the British Casino Association required that he head overseas to provide some statistics on performance. With that, Webb headed for the United States in 1996. His goal: to license the game to enough casinos to get the requisite stats

Coming up with a new game idea is definitely the easiest part of the process. I’ve spoken with many, many people who think they have the next Three-Card Poker, and I haven’t seen any of their games on the Strip. A lot of them are smart, creative people who have great ideas…but getting games into the casino is really, really hard.

For your edification, here are the fifteen steps towards getting a new game approved for testing in Nevada, courtesy of the Gaming Control Board:

An applicant must include the following items for the submission of a new game:
1. A letter requesting game approval.
2. Four (4) copies of the table layout. (The layout must be submitted as it will appear in the casinos.)
3. Rules of play, with specific examples.
4. A proposed payout schedule.
5. A statistical evaluation of the new game’s theoretical percentages.
6. Items 1–5 must be submitted on a CD-ROM in Word or PDF Format.
7. A copy of the rack card that will be available to players during the field trial.
8. A copy of the filing receipt from the United States Patent and Trademark Office in reference to the new game patent.
9. A letter from a Non-Restricted Group I licensee, agreeing to display and monitor the new game’s field trial.
10. A notarized document that contains the following statements:
a. That the requester agrees, if a field trial is approved, the casino conducting the field trial will receive 100% of the revenue produced by the game, during the course of the field trial.
b. That the requester agrees to pay all costs for shipment, inspection, and incidental costs documented by the Gaming Control Board (GCB) in connection with the examination and evaluation of the new game.
c. That at least one working model is available or will be available immediately, should the game be approved for field trial.
d. Of the applicant’s and developer’s intentions as to how a profit is expected to be made from the submitted game, when/if the game is approved for play in Nevada.
11. A Personal History Record completed by all applicants.
12. “Request to Release Information,” “Release and Indemnity of All Claims,” and “Affidavit
of Full Disclosure” forms, notarized and signed by the applicant(s) and developer(s).
13. A percentage of ownership with reference to the applicant’s/developer’s company/corporation.
14. Five thousand dollars ($5,000) on deposit with the GCB, or a check in that amount made payable to the Treasurer, State of Nevada. The account created by this deposit
is used to pay investigative costs, as listed below. Additional deposits may be requested during the course of the investigation. Final satisfaction of all expenses incurred by the Gaming Control Board must be paid before the game is heard before the Gaming Control Board for approval.
a. Enforcement Division investigative hours bill at $80 per hour.
b. Technology Division bills at $150 per hour for completing the game evaluation.
15. A list of names, and telephone numbers, with whom the GCB may discuss aspects of the game.

Submit the package of all 15 items to the Enforcement Division of the Gaming Control Board. After the package has been reviewed for completeness, the statistical evaluation will be forwarded to the Technology Division for analysis and verification. Failure to submit all items will result in a denial of the application and the submitted packet will be returned.

Gaming Control Board: Agency Forms and Applications

So you need some deep pockets and a lot of patience to get a game approved for trial, let alone accepted by a casino on a permanent basis. Bear in mind that before you go through this 15-step process, you need to have a casino agree to let you test the game in their casino for 90 days. I imagine that there’s a pretty high bar for that, since a manager can ask, “Why should I take a blackjack table that I know will make $1,400 a day and put in a game nobody’s ever heard of?” (That guesstimate, BTW, was made possible by the July 2009 Gaming Revenue Report)

Still, if nobody ever tried anything new we’d still be sitting in caves eating carrion tartar for breakfast. I will say this: the application system ensures that only the most dedicated inventors see their dreams come true.

It’s always great when people debunk casino-related myths and misconceptions. I’d like to point you to The Straight Dope’s handling of a casino counterfeiting question:

Dear Cecil:It occurs to me that it would be much simpler to counterfeit casino chips than paper currency. Besides the fact that its the mob thats after you and not the cops, why is this not done? Is there some kind of special watermark or antifraud device built into casino chips? It just seems so simple.—Harvey, Montreal

Guest contributor Ianzin replies:Casinos are well aware of this possible scam, and take great precautions to prevent it. The truth is that it’s at least as hard to create counterfeit casino chips as it is to create counterfeit money, and maybe even harder.

Click through the read the whole thing. It’s researched, logical, and well-reasoned, unlike much of the stuff you read about casinos, particularly casino security.

This is hardly breaking news to anyone who reads this blog regularly, but gambling revenues are down nationwide. This Economix piece in the New York Times blogs is as good a summary as any:

Two weeks ago, my colleague Ian Urbina had an article about the falloff in gambling across the country, and the lower gambling tax revenues that have resulted. Today, the Rockefeller Institute of Government released its latest numbers on this subject. Researchers found that state and local gambling tax revenues declined by 2.8 percent from fiscal years 2008 to 2009, marking the first time those revenues have fallen in over three decades.Some of the biggest declines were in Oregon down 15.2 percent, Illinois 14.6 percent, Nevada 12.5 percent and Arizona 10.7 percent.For some of these states, a fall in gambling revenues can mean a big hit to the overall bottom line. Nevada, where gambling tax revenues amount to more than $400 per resident over age 21, depends on gambling for 13.6 percent of its “own-source” revenue base. Over all, revenues from gambling taxes make up about 2.3 percent of states’ “own-source” revenues.

via Smaller Jackpots for States – Economix Blog – NYTimes.com.

Click through to read that Rockefeller report–it’s good stuff. I will print out a copy and have it bound for the library.

There’s a paradox here: many states legalize gambling only to bring in revenues in lieu of raising taxes. When the economy falters, they need more money, so they allow more gambling. The problem is, when the economy falters, people gamble less.

This is why my position on gambling legalization is that it shouldn’t be done primarily for purposes of “revenue enhancement.” Rather, states should legalize gambling because they believe that their adult citizens should be allowed to spend their money on it, if they choose. There shouldn’t be monopolies or a limited number of licenses–just set the rules that operators have to follow and police them fairly. If gambling really is “a business like any other,” why not treat it that way?

Otherwise, you fall into the trap of asking the mere mortals who run casinos to do the work of angels–rebuilding the cities, saving the schools, protecting the planet.

On the other side of the coin, if the majority of citizens think that gambling isn’t just another business, that it is something that should be criminalized, they shouldn’t permit gambling on the grounds that it is “for a good cause.” Otherwise, you fall into the ethical trap of believing that the ends justify the means–perhaps the quintessential slippery slope.

This experiment at a Monte Carlo lounge has the benefit of novelty. From the LV Sun:

It sounded like an odd fit for Vegas.

The fact is the waitresses in the new lounge at the Dragon Noodle Co. inside the Monte Carlo aren’t wearing uniforms. They’re wearing costumes.

It’s true that melding entertainment and service isn’t new to town. There are the singing waiters at Paris Las Vegas and celebrity impersonators dealing cards at the Imperial Palace. But these waitresses are dressed as characters from Japanese anime cartoons, a hobby known as cosplay.

Two things stand out about the American cosplay community: it skews very young, to teens and even pre-teens, and it is, well, geeky, neither of which is an audience that gets catered to often in Las Vegas. Yes, there was Star Trek: The Experience, but that’s closed and besides, those were old geeks. They could buy drinks. This sounds like having a Miley Cyrus-themed lounge.

We asked the co-owner of Dragon Noodle Co., Charles “Chipper” Pastron, the man who came up with the idea for a cosplay lounge in Las Vegas, for an interview and an explanation. He responded by bringing along his new bartender and cosplayer, Heidi Haldman. She was already working in town as a bartender, one who happened to have a side hobby dressing up in homemade Japanese cartoon costumes. “It’s the only thing that keeps me sane in this crazy town,” she says.

Haldman said that when she saw an ad on Craigslist for a cosplay bartender, she knew she had found the perfect job. Pastron says she’s his anime expert and an ambassador to Las Vegas’ fledgling cosplay community. She says that while most fans might be too young to drink though they could still order food and soda, the organizers of cosplay conventions are old enough. Plus, there’s an anime club at UNLV. So that’s a few people right there, plus word should get out online for tourists.

It is only a 40-seat lounge, after all.

via An experiment in pop culture fun on the Strip: Anime-attired waitresses – Las Vegas Sun.

I didn’t know what cosplay was until one of my students showed up to class in a costume a while back, so I’m not the target audience they’re going for here, but I think that we should see more of this on the Strip because it’s something that you can’t see anywhere else. This is why people will continue to come here when they can gamble in their own backyards–to see things they can’t at home.

Twenty years ago, having a big room full of slot machines with a coffee shop, buffet, steakhouse, and lounge was relatively rare–there was a pretty big novelty factor in Las Vegas. Today, that’s just not true. This anime-themed space is definitely a small niche in the total consumer pool, but it’s a different one. Many people complain–rightly, perhaps–that the Strip is becoming too homogeneous, with slick single-word nightclubs and restaurants crowding out everything else. This is different, and that’s good.

Even if you’re not a fan of anime, something like this is unusual enough that it would be a site to see. And if you are a fan, it might be the coolest place you can think of.

Let’s see more of this kind of innovation…it’s only going to help.

I’m pleased to be able to announce two major events coming up this fall at UNLV:

October 15

Gaming Research Colloquium: Roger Gros, Publisher, Global Gaming Business Magazine

“Information, Please: 25 Years of Covering the Gaming Industry

2 PM in Lied Library’s Extended Study Area First Floor

View flyer (pdf)

December 3

Gaming Research Colloquium: Rob Bone, Vice President of Marketing, WMS Industries

“WMS Culture of Innovation”

2 PM in Lied Library’s Extended Study Area First Floor

View flyer (pdf)

via Center for Gaming Research: Special Events.

It’s exciting to have two people involved with the industry at this level coming to campus to talk. Roger is one of the major people covering gaming today, and one of the few (if not the only one) who started as a dealer on the casino floor. Rob is going to tell us a little bit about what’s happening with WMS, which is one of the more innovative slot makers.

Of course, both talks will be recorded and podcasted for those who can’t be here. But if you’re on or around campus, definitely stop by.

I don’t have anything scheduled for November because most people in the industry are preparing for G2E, so it’s hard to get someone for that month. Instead, I’m going to track down a few people and interview them at the conference. It should make for some good podcasting.

I still have two slots open for the rest of the year. After reading this article, I’m going to make a run at Stephen Siegel for one of them. We’ll see how that turns out.

Also, checking out the Sun’s website, incredible to say, the “Casino Guide” has finally been changed from the Palms, to MGM Grand. I don’t know how long the Palms was ruling the roost there, but it must have been months.

Happy new year.

Those of you familiar with Ventnor might lament the passing of an age: that aluminum section of boardwalk is being replaced, at last, with plain old wood. From the AC Press:

About two blocks of Ventnor's Boardwalk near the Atlantic City line are so odd because the surface is made of aluminum, not wood. Those aluminum planks have also been in place for more than 35 years, much longer than even the most durable wood can survive when it's exposed to all the oceanfront rain, snow, ice, sun, salt, sand and other enemy elements that Boardwalks face every day.

But after a test run Monday, city workers started Tuesday to tear out the metal section of Ventnor's Boardwalk, which runs between Austin Avenue and Vassar Square. Because for all their years of staying nearly maintenance-free, the aluminum planks tend to get slippery when they're wet – a tendency that many Boardwalk regulars say they won't miss at all when the metal is just a memory.

Dave Smith, the city's Public Works director, could not give an estimate on how long it will take to remove roughly a tenth of a mile of aluminum and put wood back in the planks' place. But Smith says the metal has been part of Ventnor's Boardwalk scene since 1972.

“And we never had to replace one piece,” Smith said, as his crew used power saws to cut the aluminum planks in their center, then unscrewed the metal boards and pried them up with an oversized crowbar.

The aluminum generated controversy right from its start in Ventnor. Charlie Cianci, a former member of the City Commission, led a petition drive in 1974 to give voters a say on the metal Boardwalk. In a referendum, the town's residents approved a measure saying “the Boardwalk shall not be altered, and it shall remain forever more a basically wooden structure as it exists now.”

Cianci and his allies were worried both that the surface was too slippery and that electricity to the metal Boardwalk – for street lights – could also be dangerous. He says Atlantic City Electric stepped in to make sure the electricity was grounded correctly to eliminate that safety hazard, and the opposition movement kept metal from slipping much farther into Ventnor than it did.

“Otherwise, that whole Boardwalk would have become aluminum,” Cianci said Tuesday.

Current City Commissioner Stephen Weintrob says it wasn't electrical worries that led to the decision to get the aluminum out, but it was “a safety issue. It's tough on bikes, they slip and slide. And runners have complained over the years.”

via Ventnor scrapping metal Boardwalk – pressofAtlanticCity.com : Latest News.

Interesting that they considered making the whole boardwalk aluminum. I actually always liked the metal boards because they were way friendlier to rollerblade/skateboard wheels than the wood, which wasn’t as well maintained during my formative years as it is today.

Gotta love those comments, too, especially the repetitious guy who likes the Wildwood promenade. It reminded me of Manos: The Hands of Fate.

My comments on the recent Harrah’s purchase in the LVRJ were a combined Planet Hollywood/Ohio racetrack thought:

David Schwartz, director of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Gaming Research Center, said that the “common sense and intuitive response” would seem to be to ask why a company carrying $19.3 billion in debt is “buying more stuff.”

Especially, he added, since “the events of the past year, dating from the collapse of Lehman Brothers, kind of validates people who go by common-sense judgments.”

Jan Jones, Harrah's senior vice president of communications and government relations, however, said company executives believe the current economic environment is providing opportunities for cash-smart investments such as the company's expansion into Ohio's gaming market.

“We're always going to keep ourselves, within reason, in a position where we would be able to take advantage of the opportunities that become available with the right economics,” Jones said. “Taking advantage of good economic opportunities is always in the company's best interest.”

via MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: Harrah’s buys Ohio racetrack – Business – ReviewJournal.com.

I think we’re both right (of course I’m biased). While I can see, in theory, that a $42 million investment today may yield healthy cash flow in a few years, which would put the company in a better place financially, I stand behind my assertion that the common-sense reaction to the news–that you don’t buy when you’re already heavily in debt–should at least be considered.

This isn’t just about the racetrack deal, but a more general comment about leverage in the gaming industry. While many industries use varying amounts of leverage in the normal course of their financing, it should be clear that highly-leveraged casinos companies have run into trouble over the past year.

Similarly, it’s interested that the “deconsolidation” trend has not just halted, but actually reversed, if the Planet Hollywood debt acquisition leads to something. I’m challenged to see what Harrah’s would do with another 3,000 hotel rooms, particularly since they already have options at most price points, from IP to Caesars Palace.

It’s like playing poker–going all in with pocket kings is brilliant if your opponent winds up having 2/7 off suit (and neither twos nor sevens show up with the community cards). It seems idiotic, though, when you find out your opponent had pocket aces. In other words, I’m beginning to suspect that there are just too many factors outside of the control–or even perception–of most corporate decision makers to make any but the most conservative decisions “risk free.”

This isn’t part of the Gaming Research Colloquium Series but may be of interest to those interested in gambling nonetheless. Next month, anthropologist Barbara Oakley will give a talk called “Bad to the Bone: Can Our Genes Make Us Act Badly?”

Bad to the Bone

I’m not going to let my knee-jerk anti-biological determinist reaction keep me from a well-researched, entertaining talk. It is certainly an interesting proposition and has all sorts of implications for gambling research. Should be fun.

Someone emailed me this article, which is about 7 years old and is, of course, not rooted in truth, from the Onion:

A gambling-addiction study by researchers at UNLVs Gaming Studies Research Center has “gotten way out of hand,” sources close to the project reported Monday.

Gambling

Addiction & Behavior

“Just one more sample group,” said study director Robert Layton, nervously snapping the clasp of his lucky clipboard. “I have a hunch about this batch, a real hunch. I think its gonna be a honey.”

Layton, who has been conducting research in the lab and the field since March 2001, is studying relapse rates in habituated long-term gamblers. He is aided in his research by colleagues Dr. Steven “Shooter” Ojeda, Dr. “Big” Arnold Stangel, and non-faculty laboratory assistant Fancy Nancy, who was enlisted in the belief that she might, for reasons unknown, have a favorable effect on results.

The study, which is now nearly $10 million over budget, was supposed to have been completed by this past May. Layton continues to gather data, however, insisting that the big breakthrough, or “payoff,” is just around the corner.

via Gambling-Addiction Study Gets Out Of Hand | The Onion – Americas Finest News Source.

It’s not as funny as it could be, but I thought that people might like a laugh. I’m laughing at the idea that an academic group dedicated to the study of gambling could have a budget of anywhere near $10 million, let alone $10 million over budget.

A lot of people think that the Center for Gaming Research is like the Center depicted in this article, with a phalanx of researchers in lab coats analyzing gamblers’ brains in real time. Actually, it’s mostly me acquiring books, assisting scholars, and poring over gaming statistics in an effort to make relevant public policy points. It’s kind of like those reality…Zumanity billboards.

Speaking of work, I’m close to announcing several more speakers for the Gaming Research Colloquium Series. Stay tuned!

Hey, I finally got around to posting the latest UNLV Gaming Podcast:

14-September 9, 2009

Derk Boss (DJ Boss and Associates)

Casino surveillance expert Derk Boss gives the September 2009 Gaming Research Colloquium lecture and tackles many topics, including the latest developments in casino surveillance, how much it costs to corrupt a dealer, and how someone embarks on a career in surveillance.

via UNLV Center for Gaming Research: Podcasts.

I’m sorry it took so long–this was a really big week with start of the semester issues, as well as a bunch of other work-related stuff. This was one of the best talks yet, and definitely a personal favorite. I don’t think I’m biased because Boss said that he thinks CCTV guys who come up through security are better than those who come up from dealing, but maybe that’s part of it.

Seriously, this was a great, great talk. Boss explains casino surveillance in a way that’s really accessible and has lots of juicy stuff about famous and not-so-famous scams. It’s well-worth the listen.

In related news, I’m in the process of finalizing the list for this year’s speakers, and still have a few open slots. If you work in or with the industry at any level, or have a book you’d like to talk about, get in touch with me and I’ll see if we’ve got room. I’ve already got a good group of academics, and am really looking for more operations people who can talk about their jobs, like Derk Boss, Bill Zender, and Steve Cyr. We had about 75 people for Derk’s talk, and I think the students really like having professionals talk to them in a relatively informal setting.

Today, September 9, 2009, is the 67th anniversary of the day that legendary Las Vegas casino developer Jay Sarno joined the Army Air Force.

I just happened to notice this because I’m working on a section of the Sarno manuscript today, and the coincidence struck me as worthy of sharing.

I’m full of good cheer over at the Las Vegas Business Press, where I start by looking at where the employment numbers are now and where they seem to be heading:

In July 2007, perhaps the high-water mark of the 2004-07 boom, more than 1.2 million Nevadans were working; slightly less than 27 percent of them were in hospitality. This might have been a sign that the state was diversifying, however slowly. But it also reflects an increase in construction workers busy building new casinos and hotels.

Two years later, the numbers for July suggest that the percentage of Nevadans working in leisure has continued to fall. Despite massive job losses in construction, leisure workers accounted for more than 25 percent of working Nevadans.

This makes hospitality the states biggest industry, but its worth noting that in the past 10 years the percentage of Nevadans working in it has fallen about 5 percent.

via Las Vegas Business Press :: David G. Schwartz : Job seekers shouldnt wait for the casino cavalry; its not coming.

My quick summary is that while Las Vegas gaming and tourism will likely continue to employ many people, there’s no way (minus a landscape-altering shift) that casinos alone are going to return Las Vegas to the rates of job growth that we’d been seeing over the past two decades.

It’s not a doom and gloom scenario–it’s one that I think is a realistic extrapolation of trends that started independent of the current downturn. Since the state’s economy is so heavily dependent on gaming and tourism, I throw this out there as a small policy suggestion: casinos cannot be the golden geese in Nevada’s future.

Of course, unpredictable events can make a hash of any predictions, so it’s possible that five years from now the casino industry will be employing 100,000 more people than it does today. That would be after the federal government offers Americans a $10,000 annual tax credit against travel to Las Vegas, and Las Vegas alone. I’m not saying it’s even probable, but it is possible. This is one of the reasons that I generally shy away from making predictions: there’s just too much that we can’t account for. Even within the highly-contained world of sports prediction, for example, the best professionals can correctly guess the outcome of a game less than 60% of the time. And that’s a system where virtually all the variables are known. Once you get out into the real world, predictions are (in my humble opinion) generally useless.

That being said, I’m not making a prediction–I’m pointing out a trend that I think should be of interest to Nevadans.

James David Robenalt. The Harding Affair: Love and Espionage during the Great War. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 209. 400 pages.

Warren G. Harding has been consistently ranked as one of the nation’s worst presidents, and doesn’t get points for personal ethics: after his death, there were numerous scandals in his administration, and he was notoriously unfaithful to his wife Florence. Plenty has been written about his presidency, and this new book adds just a little to what is already known.

Basically, a cache of letters that Harding wrote to his longtime paramour Carrie Phillips have emerged into the historical record; the story of how they came to be accessible is told in the prologue. It would make for a good History Channel special, or perhaps an extended article in a popular history magazine. The letters themselves, however, don’t tell us much new, and they show that Harding’s reputation as a dim bulb wasn’t entirely undeserved.

This book is primarily a biography of Harding from about 1905 to 1920, more or less the years that of the correspondence between Harding and Phillips. As such, the letters take a prominent place in the text, and the reader gets to enjoy Harding’s recollection of his and Phillips’ assignations in passages like the following, as Harding remembers a tryst in Montreal: “…when the bells rang the chorus while our hearts sang the rapture without words and we greeted the New Year from the hallowed heights of heaven.” (p57)

There is an almost entirely tangential subplot of the Baroness Zollner, a young army officer, and an espionage in Tennessee. Chapters about the Zollner affair take up much of the book, but there is no real resolution and the connection to the pro-German Phillips is reed-thin, and never figures in the letters.

There is even less of a connection between “German espionage” and Harding. Phillips was clearly pro-German, and Harding was not. Their letters reflect their difference of opinion, and this is likely one of the factors that drove a wedge between them.

Overall, The Harding Affair is like Harding’s prose: bland and repetitious. The letters just don’t have the “oomph” to carry a book (at least this book) by themselves, though they would no doubt be invaluable to Harding specialists. Slogging through all 400 pages with no real payoff (the Harding/Phillips correspondence and affair end with a whimper rather than a bang) will try the patience of even the greatest history enthusiast.

I’ve got a new column out today in the Las Vegas Weekly. It’s an essay about why there’s such a stigma against Las Vegas visitors:

Three outside opinions, one conclusion: Las Vegas is the shallow end of America’s gene pool. Could they have a point?

After all, casinos offer negative-expectation games. Mathematically, it’s a certainty that most customers will lose most of the time. Even if they don’t set foot in a casino, pilgrims to Vegas still shell out a lot of money for expensive meals, flashy entertainment and boozy nights on the town—not the most rational contribution to their future well-being.

Does this make them stupid? In his NPR piece, Rothkopf mentioned that he’d appended his insight-producing trip to Vegas to a Colorado white-water rafting expedition—surely something that wasn’t cheap. Did his memories of navigating the raging rivers of the Centennial State offer him any more value than memories of a night at Tryst or a meal at Margaritaville? He’s reading his own personal value judgments into his social criticism: Those who are unlike me are beneath me.

via Las Vegas Weekly : – Are we swarmed by the stupid?.

This was a chance to tackle something in greater depth than I can here, and with a different emphasis than my Business Press pieces. I hope that it contributes to the discussion.

We’ll be hosting the inaugural 2009-10 academic year Gaming Research Colloquium this Thursday as casino surveillance expert Derk Boss gives a talk:
