The traditional casinos of yesterday must adapt to a new generation of players. Millennials are much more technologically savvy and have different entertainment expectations than Baby Boomers. To meet Millennial desires, we want to combine traditional casino wager-based experiences like slot machine games and table games with newer game concepts, such as skill based games, casual and social gaming, collaborative gaming, E-Sports, and more.

Any changes must be made with the understanding that traditional gaming experiences excel at making money by creating frequent wagers of smaller amounts of cash, quickly determined outcomes for each play, and real-time response. Skill and casual games, however, can often last much longer. One of the issues presented these new types of games is how to make them as profitable as traditional games.

Deliverables

Provide a detailed idea for a new gaming experience that will entice Millennial players to come to a real casino for gambling and entertainment. In your response, make sure to address the following:

  1. Describe a new game concept that will attract Millennials, including game mechanics, win/loss/betting methods, expected financial returns, interactivity, and game storyboard.
  2. What will the physical properties of your gaming experience be? How will the cabinet, table, or hardware look? What about shape, material, and size? Consider including a visual.
  3. If you could totally redesign a casino and its floor plan to accommodate your game, what would it look like and where would your game fit in it?
  4. Why will your idea attract Millennials? The more descriptive you are, the better.

CRITERIA: Don't feel like you are limited by current technology and casino floor plans or design. Assume you have complete flexibility, from floor layout to interior design, ambiance, and feel. Don't hold back!

For helpful profiles of Millennial gaming characteristics, see the attached document.
