Preface

We are pleased to publish this eighth edition of Casino City’s Global Gaming Almanac. This
new edition provides market, financial, legal, and regulatory information about land-based and
online gambling in 200 regions and jurisdictions around the world. From a summary of each
country’s gaming activity to the details of the participating properties, this almanac furnishes a
complete overview of gaming worldwide.
The almanac has five main areas of focus within each jurisdiction. First, the major market
segments are described, including casino and card room gaming, lotteries, commercial bingo,
race wagering, sports betting, and online gaming. Information on recent revenue statistics, the
historical and current regulatory environment, an overview of pending legislation, and major
trends is included.

Second, summary tables show the distribution and total numbers for types of gaming facilities,
gaming devices (including slots, video lottery terminals, and electronic bingo), and gaming
tables (including poker) within the jurisdiction. Other summarized statistics include casino
square footage, convention square footage, number of rooms, restaurants, entertainment venues,
parking spaces, and number of employees.

Third, nearly 4,500 gaming properties are covered across the jurisdictions. Details provided for
individual properties include physical address, phone and fax numbers, website and e-mail
address, property owner, types of table games, restaurant names and cuisines, entertainment
venues, attractions, and hours of operation. All of the summarized statistics listed above are also
provided for individual properties.

Fourth, for each gambling activity in a jurisdiction, the appropriate regulatory body is shown
with name, location, and contact information.

Finally, current and historical activity-specific revenue charts and tables are provided. This data
is not included for all jurisdictions, but we hope to see the number of jurisdictions furnishing
revenue figures increase with each edition. This data is collected from regulatory agencies and
commissions around the world. Specifically, the data includes:

 Four years of calendar year net gaming revenue by gaming activity. The four
calendar years of data are presented in local currency and US dollars for all
jurisdictions. The data is also presented in inflation-adjusted terms using December
2012 as the base. See the appendix for details of the calculations required to produce
the revenue data presented in this book.
 Five-year revenue bar charts for each gaming activity in each jurisdiction. Inflation-
adjusted and US dollar charts are included for each available jurisdiction as well.
 Summary tables with four years of revenue, revenue change since prior year,
inflation-adjusted revenue, and inflation-adjusted revenue change since prior year for
each gaming activity.
 Raw revenue data tables and, when obtainable, tables of taxes collected per gaming
activity.

Casino City’s Global Gaming Almanac also includes an ownership section that lists more than
300 gaming property owners worldwide. Along with contact information, the ownership details
show the properties owned and ownership share. New in this edition are ranked lists of the
Casino City’s Global Gaming Almanac CD v
largest gaming properties worldwide based on a variety of criteria and also lists of gaming
properties organized by property type.

The CD version of the almanac includes a spreadsheet tool enabling custom gaming property
marketplace analysis by geographic area and by type of gaming facility along with a MapPoint
file displaying every gaming property in the world geographically on a map. More than 160
annual reports of gaming businesses based outside North America are also provided on the CD
together with the print version of Casino City’s Global Gaming Almanac in PDF format.
Agencies and commissions and their executive contacts are included in machine readable data
files.

This almanac is one of three publications that together comprise Casino City’s Gaming Analyst
Package. The other publications included in the analyst package are Casino City’s North
American Gaming Almanac and Casino City’s Indian Gaming Industry Report. The summary
information for North America included in this almanac relies on the more detailed information
provided in these publications.
The creation of Casino City’s Global Gaming Almanac and Casino City’s Global Gaming
Almanac CD and the development of the infrastructure required to support their production and
the production of the other gaming analyst products was a massive effort involving many
disciplines by a team of very dedicated people. We’re proud of the effort put forth by every
employee of Casino City Press.
Steve Bloom, Vice President of Engineering, has overall responsibility for the software
engineering efforts required to create the new editions of the almanac and CD including database
design, data-entry applications, and data extract procedures, in addition to managing the design
and layout of the book and CD. Andrea Mullaney, Director of Marketing, created the cover
artwork for the directory and CD.

Paul Mogilevsky, Publications Project Manager, was responsible for all almanac production
efforts and for the gathering of economic data. Tom Yee, Content Manager, was responsible for
all other data collection efforts. Simply stated, the new edition of the directory and CD would not
exist without their dedication and that of the entire content staff. Other content development
team members include Mark Alexander, Emma Corfman, Carol Heller, Danny Ng, Matthieu
Decker, and Yuhao Zhang. Dr. Alan Meister, author of Casino City’s Indian Gaming Industry
Report, also contributed research on Native American gaming that is reflected in the summary
information for North America. Vin Narayanan updated and edited gaming jurisdiction
descriptions and Bill Riley copyedited the contents of the print and CD versions and sourced the
cover imagery.

Finally, we’d like to thank you, our customer. It is your words of encouragement and
appreciation, your suggestions, and your overwhelming acceptance of our products that make our
efforts both rewarding and possible.

Gaming Market Analyzers

The gaming market analyzer Excel workbooks provided on the CD allow you to calculate
geographic gaming market statistics and view property profiles for gaming properties worldwide.

You begin by selecting the specific types of properties to be considered, such as casinos, racinos,
or casino cruises. Then you select the location of properties you’re interested in – all properties
worldwide, all properties in Europe, properties in France or Germany. Alternatively, you can
select a gaming property such as Monte Carlo Casino and include all properties that lie within a
specified distance – say 250 miles.

The workbook automatically shows you all of the selected gaming properties, and calculates the
following marketplace statistics:

 Number of Properties
 Number of Gaming Machines
 Number of Table Games
 Number of Poker Tables
 Number of Bingo Seats
 Number of Sportsbooks
 Number of Racebooks
 Casino Square Footage
 Convention Square Footage
 Number of Hotel Rooms
 Number of Restaurants
 Number of Entertainment Venues
 Number of Parking Spaces
 Number of Employees

If a specific property is selected, the workbook also automatically calculates the property’s share
of the marketplace for each statistic.

Using a Gaming Market Analyzer Workbook

A gaming market analyzer workbook can be opened by clicking on the link for a specific
workbook such as the 2014 Workbook link on the CD home page, by clicking on the CD
“Gaming Market Analyzers” navigation item and following the directions on the page that is

folder on the CD.

The workbooks are in Microsoft Excel XSLM format. Microsoft Excel version 2007 or above is

be configured to allow macros and content editing. The workbook is only supported by versions
