A group of veteran gaming and hospitality consultants on Wednesday unveiled the formation of Casino Consultants Consortium, also known as C3 Gaming.
According to the organizers, C3Gaming is a network that brings together a diverse group of experienced consultants from across the globe, with skills in a wide variety of specialized disciplines.
C3 Gaming includes consultants from Asia, Europe, Oceania and North America.
Andrew Klebanow, co-founder and senior advisor to C3 Gaming, said in a statement the consultancy will be able to provide casino companies with the “most appropriate” team of experts to solve their unique business problems.
The challenge for casino operators today, Klebanow said,is to identify the most appropriate consulting firm for specific assignments. He asserted C3 Gaming’s network of experts can quickly identify the most appropriate consultant or team of consultants for a specific task because the network is comprised of skilled consulting professionals who long have made a living in the consulting industry.
The pandemic has created new challenges, Klebanow continued. He said with international travel curtailed, it is nearly impossible to deploy a team of experts to travel internationally – but he said C3 Gaming overcomes this challenge by drawing from consultants who live on a number of continents.
C3 Gaming also is launching a free data service to provide the gaming and hospitality industries with data reporting. Users can sign up for free and gain access to a monthly report that tracks key performance data for the US commercial gaming market by state, including slot, table, online gaming and sports betting data.
The firm said its monthly report combines each jurisdiction’s raw data with C3 Gaming’s proprietary research and analysis to compare and benchmark each state. Users can download an Excel file that contains supporting data by month for each property or region.
“It is simply not feasible for a single consulting company to employ such a diverse group of experts with experience in so many disciplines,” Klebanow said in a statement. “This network brings together nearly two dozen independent consultants who can be combined to form teams of experts to address a wide variety of issues, including traditional feasibility studies, operational reviews, table game integrity, database analysis and financial forecasting, as well as emerging disciplines such as online wagering and social gaming.”
