Latest Gaming Movers and Shakers (ranked by monthly performance):
Positive growth presents new opportunities and challenges ahead
The industry has shown some modest growth in comparison to the previous
year. However, it must be noted there were some contributing factors
including Easter falling in April 2012 compared to 2013 when it fell in
March. This resulted in one less day trade in 2012 compared to 2013. Having
said that, the growth of 4.23% in April 2013 compared to April 2012 is
positive with the YTD growth (January - April) current at 2.9%. The Club
industry has shown greater growth in the current YTD revenue figures,
with clubs growing against the same period last year by 3.3% compared to
the Hotel growth of 2.5%. While the growth has been positive, the
industry has also seen an increase in gaming machine numbers with an
additional 98 machines active in the Hotel market compared to a 47 unit
increase in Clubs. Bundaberg has experienced the largest growth (11.9%) when comparing April 2013 with April 2012. With Mackay showing a decline in revenue at 4.8%, Gladstone has
also experienced reduced growth compared to previous months results at
7.2%. However, it is still worth noting the 2 year comparison growth of
35%. Following on from this, Logan has
shown a 3.6% increase in revenue in comparison with April 2013 and
April of the previous year, while the 2 year comparison shows a decline
of 1.1%. Overall, the industry has experienced growth, and we
are starting to see some venues struggling with the impact of increased
costs and low revenue. There are a mix of venues who are trading very
well and some who are experiencing difficulty. It is imperative in
today's climate that venues are providing the best facilities to
counteract increased competition and the battle for the disposable
dollar. Ensuring your venue is the best in the area does not come easy
and there are a multitude of items that must be precise all day, every
day. DWS can assist in all aspects and quite often a fresh set of eyes
can lead to a new, profitable opportunity.
