            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.
