Gaming News Tuesday, October 9, 2018 8 Why You Need a Lehigh CustomFit Managed Corporate Shoe Program Lehigh CustomFit is the leader in man- aged corporate shoe programs and a branded service of Lehigh Outfitters and SlipGrips, a leading designer, manufac- turer and provider of slip-resistant footwear. Slip, trip and fall injuries are the most common type of workplace injury, resulting in 724 deaths on the job in 2013, according to the National Safety Council's 2016 edition of "Injury Facts." Supplying shoes that achieve only the best non-slip test results to your employees will maximize their safety. Lehigh CustomFit sets a high stan- dard for the styles offered on its sites. In- demand slip-resistant footwear brands such as Dansko, Skechers Work, Alegria, Fila, Reebok, SkidBuster, Dr. Scholl's Work, New Balance and more must have a test score above 0.40 in Independent laboratory Mark II ASTM F1677-05 test- ing in both oily and wet and soapy condi- tions. With this huge selection of brands and styles, you can guarantee your employees will be in the right shoe for their environment. Ensuring this will help mitigate the risk of worker's com- pensation claims, insurance premiums and lost productivity from employee injuries. In 2013, there were 229,190 cases involving days away from work, according to the NSC's 2016 edition of "Injury Facts." While safety is number one, the Lehigh CustomFit value extends to your bottom-line. Compared to shoe trucks and retail stores, the lower overhead of the Lehigh CustomFit online solution is passed on to customers, helping them cut their budgets by saving an average of up to 30 percent over traditional retail prices. As the CustomFit name implies, all program tools and services work together to provide flexibil- ity so that you can cus- tomize and control as much or as little as you want or need to fit your particular business and workload. Footwear selection can be cus- tomized by department or location to avoid employees ordering the wrong styles for their specific jobsite. You can set employee eligibility to automatically reset to increase security and eliminate abuse. The Command Center will show you individual stats, orders, purchas- es, returns and more for easy report- ing, tracking and control. You can confirm your employees have ordered, see when they received their shoes, know which styles are more popular – all allowing you to more accurately plan and budget. Several employee payment options include subsidy, pay- roll deduction and vouchers and all can be customized to your company's specific allotments and restrictions. Partial pay for orders with any remaining balance is also offered. Lehigh CustomFit's mission is to alleviate your burden of managing a safe- ty footwear program with customized tools, services, selection and savings. Lehigh does it exceptionally well and is always a step ahead. To learn more, visit booth #6027, call 800.444.4086, email customfit@lehigh outfitters.com or go to www.lehigh customfit.com. Less Cost, More Productivity: Less Is Truly More The trend in U.S. and Canadian gaming continues to be positive. The largest properties on the Las Vegas Strip almost tripled profits over last year (www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos- gaming/major-las-vegas-strip-resorts- saw-net-income-triple-in-2017/amp/), and tribal gaming grew to record rev- enues as well (Doocey, Paul. "A growing story". Casino Journal. August 2018: pages 12-13.) Canada saw a 4.9 percent increase in casino revenues in 2017 (www.fantiniresearch.com/images/Cana da-Revenue-Report—-F.pdf). Increasing revenues is key, but also important to increasing and maintaining profits is cut- ting costs and running a streamlined operation.

Bowling Offers "Lanes to Profitability" to Casino Resorts Take it from Adam Saks, President and Chief Operating Officer of Dynamic Entertainment Group, LLC, parent com- pany of UltraStar Multi-tainment: bowl- ing makes an excellent addition to casino resorts. "Bowling is changing the landscape of what a destination casino resort will look like," said Saks. "We strongly rec- ommend bowling as a vital piece of the puzzle for those casinos that see an underserved entertainment market." Saks has found that bowling serves local community members and resort guests while also generating impressive revenue for investors. UltraStar has partnered with Brunswick Bowling to include bowl- ing in three Multi-tainment centers to date: Ak-Chin Circle in Maricopa, Arizona; Harrah's Cherokee Casino in Cherokee, North Carolina; and Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino in Murphy, North Carolina. "It's hard to find a more universally appealing activity than bowling," Saks continued. "Bowling is multiplayer, interactive and even collaborative. The physical nature of the action and the excitement of healthy competition both aid in a comprehensive wellness goal the community has for its members. The bowling center is important to the community in many ways. First and foremost, it is a complete departure from gaming. It invigorates the young while energizing the elders. Our bowl- ing center also makes a dramatic impact for the community members' employ- ment opportunities for those 16 and older." Bowling is particularly good for business, too. "In compari- son to other attractions, bowl- ing provides a faster return on investment than more complicat- ed and expensive options," said Saks. "For casi- nos, bowling centers are lanes to prof- itability. Bowling provides you with a very low overhead and operating cost. Proper design of a bowling center will allow you to maximize labor for efficien- cy and ensure a smooth guest service experience." Saks has been impressed with the ways bowling has kept up with the times and the changing demands of today's consumers. "The innovation in bowling products allows the modern bowling center to pro- vide both affordable family fun and an exciting nightclub environment," said Saks. "We are creating a boutique, cozy and elegant feel in a place where customers can have fun with the entire family by enjoy- ing great food, a full- service bar, a lounge and a state-of-the-art visual experience, all of which drives the length of stay." Brunswick provides the casino resort industry with a full range of services from feasibility studies and project plan- ning to facility design, construction man- agement, installation and training.
