Description

Casino Management in Integrated Resorts introduces students to the changing nature of casino businesses within the framework of an integrated resort or hospitality organisation.

In the new integrated casino model, casinos play an important role not only in revenue generation but in supporting the other amenities in the resort, including bars, restaurants, hotels and theme parks. This book brings readers up to speed with the challenges of managing a casino within this rapidly expanding gaming-leisure-tourism industry. It covers a range of essential topics, such as the basic psychology of casino gaming, the role and history of casinos within an integrated resort, staffing, floor design, table and slot game management, control and security, marketing and social impact.

Written in an accessible style, this book is suitable for readers with no prior knowledge of, or experience in, casino operations. It will be an essential introductory yet comprehensive resource for all those undertaking casino management courses.
