2012 Gaming Industry Forecast: Introduction
January 3, 2012
2012 Gaming Industry Forecast
Though 2011 certainly had its ups and downs, for the most part, the year is ending on a high, with many in the industry optimistic for a turnaround soon. Last year, a key phrase in our forecast essays was “cautious optimism,” but this year that word “cautious” has been removed, with excitement over recovering numbers in most economic areas and gaming trends, hopeful news coming out of markets like Asia and Indian country, not to mention technological advances including standards, mobile, even 3-D, and that topic that just won’t leave the room, Internet gaming.
Don’t get us wrong—we’re not out of the woods just yet. We’ve still got our fair share of issues that need to be addressed and continued improvement on many fronts, but in the past year, we have made significant strides to getting closer to whatever the end goal is—pre-recession revenues, improved tourism to gambling markets, unwavering innovation, vendor and service partnerships or just better business conditions and habits overall. There is much to look forward to in 2012 (assuming the Mayans weren’t right, anyway!).
