Industry Overview
The casino industry is well-known for its use of revenue management techniques. Because there are a multitude of services offered within a casino, there are many different opportunities for revenue management practices, from the restaurants to the rooms to the spa to the casino floor itself. Additionally, many casinos rely heavily on CRM systems/loyalty programs to create the forecasts upon which their revenue management is based. This gives casino operators a great deal of non-rooms data to draw upon which assists in their non-traditional revenue management tactics. Overall, I would place casinos in Quadrant 2, with individual components existing in Quadrant 1 (convention space, concert/sports arenas) and Quadrant 3 (restaurants, golf courses, etc.). This blog post will focus on casinos in the United States.

Space
In most cases and for most services, casinos define their space implicitly. In the hotel, space is divided into rooms and suites, in the restaurants, space is divided into tables, in the spas, space is divided into treatment rooms, in the event areas space is divided into seats or conference rooms, banquet halls, etc. There are some services associated with the casino that define their space in what could be viewed as a combination of implicit and explicit. For example, the casino floor is divided into different areas where different types of games are available, but games can be moved, and games are not sold by the space to the consumer; any guest has access to all games on the floor at any given time. Additionally, spaces like nightclubs and pools have both explicit and implicit space (the main dance floor or pool is available to everyone, but tables or cabanas are defined and sold on an individual basis).

Of course, because casino properties are expansive, even after accounting for the gaming floor, the restaurants, the nightclubs, the event spaces and the hotel rooms, there is a large amount of additional space that can be used to generate more revenue. One of the primary sources of revenue is alcohol sales. There are bars located throughout the casino, independent of the clubs and restaurants, that provide a space that is separate from the main gaming floor for guests to relax and have a drink (or many drinks). Many of these bars have additional table games or slot machines, so there is always the opportunity to get more money out of guests, even when away from the bulk of the tables/slots. Furthermore, drinks are offered on the casino floor, most of the time at no cost to those guests who are gambling, but many casinos charge for drinks at lower-limit tables or at the slot machines. Encouraging guests to drink, especially when drinks are available at a low price compared to the bars and restaurants nearby, not only brings in a consistent supply of revenue, but also lowers guests’ inhibitions and can lead to riskier behavior on the part of the gamblers.
Another source of revenue is the rent collected on retail space that exists in the casino. Often, to fill the empty space between the parking structure and the main lobby, or the elevators to the guest rooms and the casino floor, or the walking distance between various restaurants and night clubs, casinos will create retail space for various vendors. Guests don’t even have to leave the casino to find high-end products to further fill their suitcases. Because the casino can guarantee a constant flow of potential customers, these retail spaces are highly valuable, so the property owner can charge a premium for leasing agreements.

Suggestions for Space Division
Though many casinos have expertly divided their space, and have done so in a way that makes it somewhat difficult for guests to easily navigate, there are some opportunities to creatively split up the existing space within the property. First, the casino floor itself provides a unique opportunity to capitalize on additional revenue through space utilization. From the massive amount of data that is available, casino reservation and loyalty systems can predict which loyalty guests will be on property on any given day, and can track which games these guests play most frequently. In order to have the appropriate table mix on the floor, to ensure that guests will have the chance to play what they want when they want, instead of waiting to get a seat at a table, casinos can use the data to determine what percentage of the total floor space should be dedicated to each specific game.
There may also be the potential for multi-use space, that can be adjusted as trends change. For example, there is currently a huge food trend of trucks and carts that serve gourmet food on the street, quickly and easily, to passing customers. There is so much space in a casino, along hallways or outside nightclubs, that could potentially house a “food truck”-esque space to capitalize on the demand for quick and relatively inexpensive meals. Not only does this utilize empty space, but it may also keep guests on the gaming floor longer, if they are not taking an extended break to go eat at one of the higher-end dining establishments. As trends change, these spaces can be altered to meet different demands, at minimal cost to the company.
Time
The casino industry sells time both implicitly and explicitly, depending on the service. Rooms, of course, are sold explicitly, based on length of stay, and spas sell by treatment period. However, there are many other services sold implicitly, like meals in the restaurants, admission to a night club or entertainment event, and the time spent on the casino floor. The casino floor is in a unique position, as there is no real cost for admission (at least in US casinos), but guests are constantly “paying” for their experience through the bets placed at the tables or at the slot machines. Though the casino is not getting a rate or fare from the guest, it is clearly making a great deal more in revenue because of the rates/amounts at which people gamble.

Suggestions for Time Division
Due to the high volume of demand for both rooms and club entrances, there are a couple of ways in which casinos could more creatively split up their time. However, the practicality of these suggestions is debatable. First, because there are many guests who come to cities with a large number of casinos, like Las Vegas or Atlantic City, and perhaps only come for a brief trip (in Atlantic City especially, guests may only be on property for a few hours before returning home), there is potential to further split up the time spent in the hotel rooms. Currently, most casinos rent rooms by the night. However, in properties with several thousand rooms, there is certainly a possibility that, during the day, many of these rooms will be unoccupied. The rooms division could potentially rent these rooms in short blocks, by the hour, so that guests will have a place to leave their things, take a break from the activities on the floor, etc. If this practice does not throw too much of a wrench into housekeeping and reservations, it could be a way to generate additional revenue (especially because so many rooms are comped and earn the hotel no money whatsoever). Second, there is also great demand for the night clubs and pools that are housed in these casinos. Often, people wait on line for hours just to get inside for a chance to party. On top of charging high admission prices, these clubs rake in money on alcohol sales. One potential way to better split up the time is to have multiple “seatings”, to use a restaurant term, so as to maximize the amount of people that can potentially come in and out of the club in a given night. I would think that one early “seating” and one late “seating”, with the exact same performance or entertainers, could be made available. In that way people can choose which time period they would like to attend, and can attend multiple parties in the same night, instead of being miserable on a line for hours on end.
Price
Most of the rate fences currently utilized in a casino are similar to those utitlized in a hotel. For physical rate fences, we have premium pricing for nicer rooms, rooms with better views, rooms with access to specific lounges, etc. There are also packages, that come with discounts or freebies, like spa or restaurant gift certificates, but these are essentially built into the price of the room. In terms of nonphysical rate fences, many casinos will charge a cancellation fee for less than 24 hours notice, will reduce rates during the week or during slow periods to drive demand, or will set rates based on reservation forecasts. The major difference between a typical hotel’s rate fences and a casino’s rate fences is the loyalty program, which is based on how much a person gambles. Loyalty tiers create an entirely different set of rate fences, based on revenue generated for the casino outside of the rooms division (as would be the case for loyalty guests in a typical hotel). The more a person spends gambling, the more perks they are entitled to from the casino, like comped rooms and meals, free tickets for shows, transportation to and from the casino, etc. One company that runs their loyalty program particularly well across their portfolio of casinos is Caesar’s Entertainment.

Suggestions for Rate Fences
One suggestion for an additional type of rate fence would be to change the way drinks are sold on the casino floor. In many cases, drinks are free, which loses money for the casino. I would suggest creating physical regions on the floor, based on the limit-level of the tables or the slots, and charge for drinks based on those limit-levels. Drinks should still remain cheaper (by quite a bit) than at the bars, in order to keep patrons on the casino floor, but drinks at the penny slots should be the most expensive, followed by the nickel slots, and up the chain until you arrive at the high limit tables where drinks remain complementary. Depending on how this rate fence psychologically affects an individual person, it may keep them at the lower-limit games, paying more for drinks, or push them to the higher limit tables, where they eventually end up spending much more money (but less on drinks!).
