As a casino operator, what do you look for in a premium leased game to maintain its footprint? Is it solely performance based, or do you consider unique player trips, return on spend, and/or other metrics to evaluate performance? For June, we surveyed GPD participants to see what performance index threshold a premium leased game must meet to stay on the floor, and we found that 33% of operators require a performance index of at least 1.5x, 33% said at least 2.0x, 19% said at least 2.5x, and 7% said at least 3x or more. This poll is part of Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC's monthly Game Performance Reports which closely track industry trends and slot performance across the U.S. & Canada as well as Latin America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions.
