Valley View Casino Holds Full House with SAS®

SAS® Solutions for Casinos and Gaming Help Predict, Optimize Growth Opportunities

CARY, N.C.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--When planning for growth, Valley View Casino of San Diego County picked SAS solutions for casinos and gaming, a winning card from the leader in business analytics. With disparate systems for each arm of Valley View Casino’s business, a complete view of total patron spending was lacking. With SAS for Patron Value Optimization, data integration will unify data from disparate systems, ensure data quality and provide one view for business intelligence and analytics insights on key performance metrics, including slot utilization, revenue per top patron, trips, stays, comps and revenue for key geographies.

“Of all vendors, SAS solutions for casinos and gaming were the most comprehensive, hands down”

Fact-based decision making – optimizing resources and maximizing profitability

With SAS for Patron Value Optimization, we can fully tap the wealth of intelligence in our data to make better, faster business decisions.”

SAS for Patron Value Optimization consolidates gaming and non-gaming information for a comprehensive patron view.
