Innovation Publishes Gaming Research

The Innovation Group, which developed and co-published the gaming industry’s first comprehensive study of consumer behavior in 2004, will issue a second study of patron practices, and a study of trends in U.S. gaming. A webinar is set for December 10.

The Innovation Group has completed two significant research benchmarks for the gaming industry: Consumer Behavior in the Gaming Industry, a nationwide survey conducted in the United States, and the white paper U.S. Gaming Trends.

According to a statement from the company, the findings will “help operators and other providers better understand how gamblers have responded to economic conditions and new technologies including online gaming, and what these observations may indicate in terms of future trends.”

The company will host a free webinar December 10 to provide an overview of the studies, and discuss the state of traditional casino gaming, which markets are at risk of oversupply, the importance of branding, the effectiveness of free play and comps, and how casinos can attract a new generation of players.
