With the help of technology and computer vision, it has given the new vision to this industry as the virtual world of gambling looks to extend more in the future. Why it is better than before is because of the convenience it provides to the customers as they can have access to everything related to gambling from the comfort of their home.

SWOT analysis

SWOT analysis is a tool that helps to identify what are the strengths, weak points, future opportunities, and risks involved with it. SWOT analysis for casino industry have lots of profitable opportunities and threats.

Strengths

The casino gambling business, which is subject to stringent government controls, has long served as a major source of entertainment for citizens in many nations. As a segment of the commercial gambling sector, casino gaming continues to gain popularity because of the creation of new locations and increasing importance on online gambling and casino platforms. The state of the economy, the level of employment, and people's disposable incomes all have a significant impact on the dynamics of the casino gaming sector, which in turn affects how much money patrons are willing to spend. The primary industry growth engine is online casino gambling (Markets, 2022).

Revenue in casino industry has increased a lot from past years, it was around 20.96 billion dollars in 2022 according to Statista in U.S alone. Casino industry is very attractive to tourist as well.

Weakness

Weakness for casino industry is poor marketing and advertising strategies. Casino industry did not focus much on advertising much as other businesses. Secondly, number of people who pays debt in casino industry is also unpredictable. Large capital investments by businesses can lead to significant debt. Players can fail to pay their obligations on time or at all, which results in huge receivables (Statista, 2022).

Opportunities

The revenue has increased quickly in recent years. It has prompted other nations to think about expanding their gambling regulations. Each year, gaming manufacturers release a variety of new games, and they also employ video game creators from the gaming business that can be beneficial for this industry. Additionally, by allowing players to utilize their accumulated credits to visit other casinos, other reward systems may be developed for their continued loyalty.

Threats

There are some uncertainties that can affect casino industry such as economic condition of countries, legal obligations, rescission and change in people`s preferences. Similar to how economic situations may be unexpected, gambling can also be. Consumer spending also decreases as consumer income does, which hurts the industry. Additionally, the dependency on regulators is another significant drawback the gaming sector has.

SPACE Matrix

The meaning of BCG matrix is a team working and mainly shows the different types of products of the organization. BU Is a showing the market size as well as market progress on the x-axis and y-axis respectively. In the case of business, it is mainly used for the market share and development part.

There are four different quadrants:

  1. When the business has a high share and low growth at the same time. So, in this case they need to give milk to the cash cows because you can reinvest the cash.

  2. 2. When they have a high share but they have high growth too. Then the company always tries to invest in the stars the reason behind this is that they have a strong future.

  3. 3. Same as they have high growth but they have a low share. Then they have only one chance or choice such as they can invest in the question mark, then they need to depend Upon them to become a star.

  4. 4. Lastly when they have less growth and same less growth. Companies should liquidate, divest, or reposition these pets. (EMBA, n.d.)

BCG Matrix

On the report of BCG, Element which belongs to stars act for big market shares in that zone which growing rapidly. Most of the sections produce cash in fast a fast-growing market. They spend a large amount of money to maintain the market level same. Moreover, the most self-deprecating is a net cash flow unit. In this way, strong and well-built Strategic Businesses (SBUs) parts are more captivating in their level. A big group of companies are much more aggressive than the other sides.
