Simply awesome. Exactly what is needed for slot performance.
This is by far the best book on the market for anyone who is looking to learn or drastically advance their understanding of how to statistically understand the slot floor. Mr. Dunn shows how to increase the slot floor performance in ways that slot managers, analysts and executives can understand. After reading this book the reader can start to improve the slot floor by keeping the best machines on the floor and making sure they are in an optimal location. My favorite chapters are on the comprehensive performance analysis and isolating location effects on performance.As a slot analyst with training in finance and statistics I couldn't put it down. I have suggested this book to my all co-workers who work in slots and strongly recommend it to anyone in the gaming industry.

It's a bit overpriced for the basic information in the book.

Solid Methodology → Better Decisions → Better Performance
Written in textbook style, SPA presents data-driven methods to evaluate your slot business. A brief review of the statistical methods used for analysis and their interpretation is provided. Also, the slot games, their basic functioning, and common ownership agreements give the reader some background of the operational side of the slot business. This information provides a useful foundation, but the real value comes in the decision process the author advocates once the data is collected and properly analyzed.There are a few forgivable typos, but overall, it is well written. I would like to see the next edition include a link to demonstrate some of the software simulations. SPA is a high-quality addition to my managerial library.

This is book has tremendously helped my career
I am a new casino analyst. I have searched Amazon and other book sites for authoritative references for how to manage casinos. There are very few good books on casino management, let alone slot operations performance. This is a great book. I am very glad to have it in my arsenal. I attended William Dunn's Slot Operation course given by CDC Gaming Seminars. William is an excellent teacher and his book shows his straight forward approach. It is easy to get lost and this book has shown me the way. I presented this book to my management and they were impressed also.

Outstanding book.
There is something for everyone associated with Casino Operations, slot analysis or Slot Operations. It is a "how to" guide to understanding the metrics behind optimizing slot floor performance. It provides insights as well as modeling for not only the most experienced slot personnel but for the individual relatively new to the field. This is a must buy for anyone wanting to get "more out of the floor". I am a former Executive Director of a Casino Planning & Analysis Department associated with a highly successful Slot Operations Department. Dr. G Warner, DBA

Amazing!
“Very informative book. Have not seen this information available in print anywhere else. While not particularly thick at 144 pages, the text is concise, non-redundant, and topics build upon one another from very basics of slot machines to highly advanced analytical concepts. Anyone working in slot operations or an analytical role in casino operations will benefit from this. I am a CRM Director on the Las Vegas Strip and am having my staff of analysts all read it. Highly recommend!”
