The results showed that most managers are quite optimistic and positive about the current business environment, but nevertheless, future expectations are still associated with some uncertainty.
More than 65% of respondents stated that they are completely satisfied with the business climate that has been established in the gambling industry today. Accordingly, 35% called it satisfactory. However, only 20% managers expect improvements in the near future, and more than 64% believe that conditions will not undergo significant changes.
In particular, AGA CEO B. Miller expressed the idea that the rapid growth of the gambling industry will continue this year. Despite the fact that the overall situation in the US economy is not the most rosy, it should not have a significant impact on the gambling industry. Naturally, if there are no global cataclysms or force majeure. The forecasts take into account several important factors and criteria: attendance of gaming sites, club income, etc.
Most US operators are optimistic about the future. More than 21% expect significant growth in capital investment from investors. Almost 15% are confident that gamers can expect an increase in the number of gaming devices in land-based and virtual casinos. Among the main concerns are the emergence of difficulties in obtaining new loans and increased geopolitical risks.
