Floor Analysis & Revenue Growth Opportunity

An observation-led approach to incremental floor performance

Aristocrat Gaming × Park MGM Casino

Before Anything Else — Priorities

My objective is simple: understand the floor before recommending a change. I start with observation, then use the conversation and the data to determine whether an opportunity is real.

UNDERSTAND

What is happening across the floor?

IDENTIFY

Where might there be an opportunity?

EXPLORE

What could we test together?

The Floor Told Me Three Things

1

TRAFFIC + VISIBILITY

~23 slot positions sit directly adjacent to the hotel elevators. In addition to all hotel guests, this area draws traffic from the bordering conference center, pool entrance and ATM/bill breaker.

Direct Observation
2

PRODUCT RECOGNITION

Buffalo drew visible player engagement throughout the floor. Three employees independently identified it as one of the property's most popular products.


Staff Feedback — Directional, Not Performance Data
3

POTENTIAL TESTABLE REAL ESTATE

At least two positions appear capable of supporting additional product. Before assuming availability: what are your current plans for the showroom floor?

Observation + Staff Confirmation — Reason for Vacancy Requires Validation

What I Know. What I Assume. What I'd Validate.

A floor walk generates a hypothesis. Performance data determines whether it's a real opportunity. Here is the framework I use to stay intellectually honest.

MY WORKING HYPOTHESIS

A highly recognizable product may generate more value than comparable, less recognizable products when aligned with a high-traffic, high-visibility player path.

Our Path Forward

When the data supports the hypothesis, here's how we explore it.

IDENTIFY THE OPPORTUNITY

A floor walk surfaces a hypothesis worth exploring.

CHECK THE DATA

Park MGM's performance data validates or challenges the assumption.

COLLABORATE ON A PROPOSAL

We build a recommendation grounded in your floor — not ours.

DEFINE SUCCESS

We agree on the scorecard before anything moves.

LAUNCH TOGETHER

A controlled, reversible test — on your timeline and your terms.

Here's What I'd Like to Test

A controlled reallocation — not a request for more floor footprint.

01 — MOVE RECOGNITION TO THE TRAFFIC

Identify a Buffalo cabinet on the floor — using performance data to select a product underperforming its current benchmark — and relocate it into the hotel elevator position.

This is the core of the test. High traffic + high recognition in the same position.

02 — RELOCATE THE DISPLACED MACHINE

Move the existing cabinet currently occupying the elevator position into one of the identified open floor spaces — if the space is available and operationally viable.

No product leaves the floor. This is a reallocation, not a removal. Subject to vacancy validation.

03 — BACKFILL WITH A LEASED ARISTOCRAT CABINET

Backfill the Buffalo/Stampede's original position with a leased Aristocrat cabinet — a validated accessory or link performer such as Lightning, Dragon or Phoenix link.

Subject to performance fit, physical constraints and commercial terms.

WHY THIS WORKS

No product is removed from the Park MGM floor

Performance data selects the Buffalo candidate — not assumption

Low upfront cost — the backfill cabinet comes in on a lease

The test is defined, measurable and fully reversible

Tests product recognition, placement and incremental value simultaneously

Let's Agree on Success Before We Start

The test only matters if it creates incremental value for Park MGM.

FINANCIAL

  • WPU
  • Coin-in
  • Incremental revenue vs. baseline
  • Performance vs. floor benchmark

PLAYER

  • Seat occupancy
  • Machine utilization
  • Sustained demand
  • Daypart performance, particularly during peak hours

FLOOR

  • Total-floor performance
  • Surrounding-bank impact
  • Cannibalization
  • Competitive mix balance

No fabricated numbers. The scorecard will be built together, using your data and your benchmarks.

What Protects the Floor?

A test, not a commitment.

PERFORMANCE

The test has to create incremental value for Park MGM — not simply move revenue between positions.

CHOICE

No units leave your floor. This is a reallocation, not a removal.

CONTROL

The test is defined, measurable and reversible. Park MGM decides whether the result earns the next step.

Let's Pressure-Test the Test

What am I missing?

PLACEMENT

Does this fit your floor strategy? What constraints or planned changes haven't I seen?

MIX

Which Buffalo/Stampede product would you consider the right candidate based on current performance? What competitive product needs to remain protected?

RISK

What concerns you about the test? What outcome would tell you it isn't working?

Here's What Happens Next

I TAKE THIS BACK

I'll rework the proposal using everything we've discussed today — your priorities, your floor, your constraints.

YOU GET A TAILORED RECOMMENDATION

A specific, data-grounded pilot built for Park MGM. Not a template. Not a pitch deck.

WE REVIEW BEFORE ANYTHING MOVES

One more conversation to pressure-test the recommendation together — before a single machine is touched.

ONE ASK BEFORE WE WRAP

What does your calendar look like over the next 1–2 weeks for us to reconnect? I'll take today's conversation, build the tailored recommendation, and we'll pressure-test it together before anything moves.
