 Review of "Casino Operations Management" - 2nd Ed. (Kilby/Fox/Lucas) April 7, 2008
I completely disagree with the current review of this text as displayed on this site stating that the text is "juvenile" and relies heavily on photos to "dumb-down" content.
I also teach at the College Level and have been doing so for the past 7 years and have used this textbook for the past few years.
This is the entertainment business which I myself have not only worked in as a professional for the past 17 years, but have trained and consulted in just about every facet of the industry. Photos are part of generating excitement for readers - gaming is highly visual and I strongly feel that the images are supported with solid written content. To add, Jim Kilby was a wonderful teacher of mine in the UNLV gaming program and has vast knowledge, experience and expertise which is conveyed properly in this text.
Bottom line, this text is anything BUT juvenile and actually addresses subjects such as player ratings, internal audits and a wide variety of casino statistical formulas that easily make this text proper for the college level. This text is virtually all-encompassing as far as I am concerned and is a wonderful tool and reference for those aiming for a career in this exciting field.
 Casino management primer written at junior high school level December 3, 1998
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Extremely basic text that relies largely on pictures to convey the content. Either an example of the dumbing down of both a complex industry and a complicated subject or the future of technical and professional education. Purchased it to consider using in a class I teach in Casino management at the junior college level--felt it was aimed at too junior an audience.
