Company Description

A key ingredient for Boyd Gaming's success is -- or was -- stardust. One of the country's leading casino operators, Boyd demolished the iconic Stardust Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip to make way for the Echelon Place; the development is currently on hiatus. Boyd has more than 15 properties, which include locations in Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Nevada; together they have some 21,000 slot machines and 420 table games. Boyd also owns 50% of Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. The company's significant $1.3 billion purchase of Coast Casinos in 2004 created the fifth-largest gaming company in the US. Chairman William S. Boyd and his family own more than 35% of Boyd Gaming.

Overview

The US gambling, or gaming, industry consists of about 500 casinos, about 400 Indian casinos and bingo halls, and lotteries in about 40 states with combined annual revenue of about $80 billion. Companies with large casino operations include Harrah's Entertainment, MGM Resorts, and Boyd Gaming. About $30 billion of annual revenue is taken in by commercial casinos, $25 billion by Indian casinos, another $14 billion by state lotteries, and the rest by horse racing, bingo, charities, and bookmaking. (For gambling companies, "revenue" is the total amount bet minus winnings paid to gamblers.) Most casinos are small, limited by the size of the surrounding population. The industry is concentrated: the top 50 gaming companies hold about 60 percent of the market. The casino hotel market is even more concentrated, with the top 50 firms holding 90 percent of the market.

SIC: 7011, 7948, 7993

NAICS: 721120, 713290, 713210, 711219, 711212

How does the company manage its relationship with state gaming commissions?

In states where gambling is legal, state commissions oversee gaming companies and have broad powers over their activities. State legislatures can easily raise tax rates on gambling machines. Continued industry growth depends on favorable legislation.

    Overview

    The US bar and nightclub industry includes about 45,000 establishments (single-location companies and branches of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of about $20 billion.

      Competitive Landscape Brief

      Demand for gambling is driven by consumer income growth and state spending. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and effective marketing. Large operators have the financial resources to make large investments in facilities and efficient computer operations, and have cross-marketing opportunities. Small gambling facilities can thrive by catering to local residents, who may not be able to afford travel to gambling centers such as Las Vegas or Atlantic City.
