About casino ownership, management and operations

Up until the 1980's most casinos were owned and managed by the mob and gambling was the main focus. Then large corporations noticed the huge profit potential of this mostly cash business. Businesses started buying casinos and applied a new business model that separated the casino business into four separate profit centers, gaming, food-beverages, accommodations, and entertainment. Then the gambling image was softened by referring to casinos as entertainment resorts and gambling is now called gaming. Many casino owners also own racetracks and the current trend is to purchase racetracks in non-casino states that are considering legalizing gambling because this is a short cut to building a new casino if gambling is legalized.

Today most large casinos in the USA are owned by corporations or Native American Indian tribes and sometimes a partnership between the two. In other countries casinos are operated by corporations that are licensed by the local country. It is not unusual for these companies to own ten or fifteen casinos in different states or countries. The following shows the businesses and Indian tribes that own and operate multiple casinos.

Vacation cruise ships also have casinos which is one of the best profit centers on the ship.
