Broke And Broker: US Casino Spending Tumbling Back To Great Recession Levels
Need yet another confirmation showing the US consumer has entered a phase of terminal retrenchment (in addition to all the other ones of course)? Below is a chart of Casino gaming spending in the past 15 years. What the chart shows is quite clear: at a drop of 4.3% Y/Y, far below the cyclical rises in 2011 and 2012, discretionary spending allocated for proceeds one can “afford to lose” is back to Great Recession levels, and sliding lower. As Bloomberg Brief summarizes, Gary Loveman, CEO for Caesars Entertainment, said the company felt the impact of curtailed consumer discretionary spending in their most recent quarterly results. Loveman noted that his company’s strategy was implemented “against the backdrop of ongoing uncertainty in the macroeconomic picture in this country and consumer weakness in the U.S. economy that negatively affected discretionary consumer spending and ultimately our gaming results.” On the other hand, with most of the gambling these days taking place in your retail brokerage screen with bets on when the Fed’s record high house of superglued cards finally comes tumbling down, perhaps consumers have merely changed their definition of gambling. It was once known as “investing.”
