Wipfli’ new tool provides business insights for tribal gaming industry

Wipfli has developed a new tool that can analyse financial data from more than 120 casinos across five geographic regions, and offer business insights to the tribal gaming industry.

“Using information we have gathered, tribal casino operators can ask themselves pointed, profit-impacting questions that every business should ask themselves,” said Grant Eve, national gaming partner at Wipfli. “We’ve developed this report, filled with meaningful data and analysis, to help tribal operators of all sizes understand and pursue business strategies more intelligently, including performance analysis, budgeting, expense abuse, balance sheet analysis and more.” The firm has a long history of serving dozens of tribal enterprises and have continued to generate the report based on overwhelming positive client feedback.

Some key statistical information included in the tools report are:

• Revenue metrics by region and size of casino
• Urban and rural market statistics
• Return on investment scenarios
• Wage expenses by departments

“For this 20th anniversary edition, we responded to user feedback and have updated the look of the report by providing additional useful data and graphs—making it easier for casino business leaders to see what other casinos are doing that is working well, how do they leverage the right information and what do they need to shift overall,” Eve added. “This is about the bottom line for many of our clients, and we are excited to hear that it continues to have a direct, positive impact on their growth, efficiency and profit.”
