Deetroit and Toledo      5-Nov-09 07:36 am    
It depends on what kind of casino Toledo builds, but many suburbanites would rather not drive into Detroit. Those on the south side of Detroit may decide to go to Toledo if the driving distances are fairly equal. Will they think Toledo is safer?


>>But David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said the market is already so large that new casinos will mostly cannibalize the others.
Of the Detroit casinos, Schwartz said, "It's certainly not going to help them. I'd really look at my customer service and step up my marketing."<<

>>gaming experts believe Detroit casinos draw from a 75-mile radius. The lower arc of that circle touches northern Ohio, but that would also mean that a Toledo casino could draw from much of southeast Michigan.
Randall Fine, chief executive of Greektown Casino, said "the only material effect would be Toledo,"<<
