March 5th, 2009 admin Casinos 0

casino1The healthy businesses just keep getting worse, day by day, for Atlantic City (AC) casinos. Consequently, two of AC casinos are expected to be sold very soon though the current proprietors can be in for a battle just before the sales go on. The two casinos are Tropicana Casino and Resort, & Trump Marina Hotel Casino.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is the representing dealers at the Tropicana Casino and Resort. It wants a new agreement for their workers. UAW understands what is happening financially, but till now they believe there is middle ground that can be reached in negotiations. A Tropicana dealer Ernestine Dawkins said “We know these are hard times for Tropicana and for all the casinos. We’re not asking for the moon. We just want a fair agreement, that’s why we voted for our union in the first place.” It is noted that Tropicana is not the only casino that the union is going after aggressively. The UAW has already won the right to have a re-vote. If they win, they will start negotiations with owners Trump Entertainment Resorts. On the other hand, Trump Marina Hotel Casino initially did not have to worry about the union.

The ironic part of the present situation is that both of the casino owners can be negotiating a contract for other companies. The casinos are now in the process of being sold and whatever deal is reached will be part of the sale. In the circumstances, the union has threatened to strike at Tropicana. Already dealers and slot technicians have authorized the strike. However, they have yet to act on it. An ongoing talks are continue in the hopes that any suitable agreement can be reached. So, the people are waiting to see how the conclusion comes.

New Jersey Commission’s Website Show Comps

February 7th, 2009 admin Casinos 0

casinoWith the present situation Atlantic City (AC) casinos must feel as if the entire world is closing in on them. The reason is that each day more terrible news is delivered to those casinos. The end result of that horrible news can be the end of casino gambling. The recent week a new plan has been released in New Jersey by gaming regulators. According to the plan anybody will be able to see the comps that AC casinos have given out over the month. The Casino Control Commission’s Chairwoman Linda M. Kassekert, said “Providing this data in a timelier manner will increase transparency and allow analysts and the general public to better understand the gaming industry.”

More to the point, it is the opening year that the figures will be shown on the Commission’s website. But till 2008, casinos only had to report their promotional spending on per quarterly basis. The recent rules could lead to less comps from these casinos. This is the comps that have been usually used to lure in high roller gamblers. Those casinos have been able to mask much of the comps in the past. That time free hotel rooms with food are common for every gambler who spend handsome amount of money at the casinos. But at this time, with the economy in dire straights and world business recession, it will be very difficult for these casinos to show that they are giving so much away as claiming that they are losing money. Observer Nicholas Devereax said “If these casinos have to show all of their comps on a monthly basis it is certainly going to lead to the casinos cutting back on giving away free stuff.”  Now the casinos owners are thinking what will be their future business plan.
