摘要：

This study proposes several hypotheses to explain the performance drivers in the casino industry. We differentiate between casinos in terms of their size, location, hotel vs. non-hotel offer, and operational type. All hypotheses are tested in the context of Slovenia, a country with a long history and tradition in the casino industry. The results show that performance is higher among large casinos and casinos located on the border with neighboring countries. We also accept the hypothesis that performance is higher for casinos that operate as a group vs. those that operate individually. Finally, we reject the hypothesis that casinos with hotels have higher performance than casinos without hotels. The study discusses the implications of these findings and provides directions for future research. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
