'Spectrumetrix offers a complete picture of Market, State and Regional casino performance in an intuitive and easy-to-use reporting interface. The ability to create and save ad-hoc reports is an invaluable feature and a real time saver. We operate in a highly competitive environment where accurate data is key; Spectrumetrix provides timely insights into how our property is performing compared to the competition.'
– Robert Swedinovich, Senior Director of Operations, Ohio Casino Operator
“I love Spectrumetrix! Instead of having to go from one jurisdiction to another and looking for the reports on financial performance of their casinos, Spectrumetrix is a one stop place where all the data are already processed. The data are available for the current and previous year and a significant amount of history is available. It gives me a clear picture of the casino industry in the USA and is a perfect tool for benchmarking.
I especially appreciate having ready-made variations between different time periods in the reports. My personal favorite with Spectrumetrix is the availability of their technical support, the people who know the database really well and are able to explain things to me or make a custom made report. It saves lots of time and makes me look real sharp- since I am not a financial analyst.”
– Gaming Analyst, Gaming Control Board
“Spectrumetrix offers researchers a unique and easy-to access dataset of casino financial performance indicators that can be paired with demographic, social-impact, or other datasets to explore the broader impact of casinos in America.”
– Jonathan Krutz, MBA, Boise State University Marketing Department”
