KEY CONSIDERATION FOR
YOUR CASINO BUSINESS PLAN
With the burst in interest in gaming
resorts, now is the time to get your casino business proposal ready.
With so many more
states legalizing gaming, the casino industry is growing at double digit
rates year after year.
There are only two big things you will
need: money, and a knowledge of gaming law.
STRONGEST ADVANTAGE TO A
CASINO BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Gaming of all kinds is a very strong
business model. There is a lot of money to be made, if you know what
you are doing.
STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE
Because the stakes are
so high, the risk is also high. Only the genuinely experienced win in
a casino business. That is why it is extremely important to present a
very professional, very business like plan.
When creating that casino
business proposal, it is important to consider the many tax, business and legal
ramifications that are unique to the world of gaming.
The successful casino
business presentation will need to account for the confusing and complicated array
of local, state, and national laws that regulate casinos, as well as any
additional laws that will apply if you wish to play in the world of gaming.
Any potential partner
will want to carefully review the casino business proposal before buying into
the business, and every loan officer will go over the casino business plan
with a fine tooth comb before lending money to a new venture. So polish up
those pencils, make your plan and create a casino business presentation you will be
proud to show the world.
Also look at the franchise
option for a casino business. This certainly alleviates a lot of the
legal issues involved, and places you in the corner of a successful company
before you ever open your doors -- not a bad position to be in.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR CASINO BUSINESS PLAN AND YOUR CASINO BUSINESS MARKETING PLAN
There are two distinct types of gaming:
resort style and online. Whichever you choose, use the business plan
approach the best suits your gaming style. If you really want to do
both, focus on one first, then get the other up and running later.
There are two types of statistical
information that you will need for your casino business plan: one set detailing the growth of
the casino industry as a whole, and one set detailing the client base in your
geographical
area. Both can come from one source.
For statistical information for your
marketing plan for a casino business, go to BizMiner.
In the search box, enter "casino".
You will see two reports available: the Financial Analysis and
the Marketing Research. Both reports are invaluable. Study
them prior to submitting any request for funding. That's what your
lender will do.
For demographic information for your
area, be
sure to check in the left hand navigation bar of BizMiner for "VIEW ALL
REPORTS", then "AREA
DEMOGRAPHICS". This will likely provide the statistics you
need to prove that your market is there.

YOUR ONLINE
PRESENCE
Even if you are beginning
with the resort casino, you will definitely need an online presence.
This is a site that can impress your potential lender/investor. Make
it look sharp and rank well.
YOUR LIKELY
LENDER/INVESTOR
Angel investors
and/or private
investors are probably your best bet.
Also, if you are
purchasing much equipment, seriously consider leasing this equipment
rather than buying it.
