Justine’s Take on January's Results
Another solid month with an improvement in Metered Win across QLD of 9.6%! Clubs managed to enjoy a stronger result (11.1%) than hotels (8.5%), and the improvements were achieved in every LGA compared to last year.
Clubs have been lifting consistently against hotels since July last year which suggests customers can see a “value advantage” in heading to their local club.
Data for discretionary spending for December from the ABS was released last week and it confirms that “disposable spend” is up compared to last year.
This was the third straight month of increases in discretionary spending, so people are adjusting to their cost of living changes, and I’m sure some of the benefits with energy rebates are assisting. This is important for gaming in particular because players pay all their bills and living expenses first, before they decide what to do with their left over cash and this informs their gaming budget if they enjoy playing as entertainment.
The data also confirmed that, while spend on entertainment and restaurants had lifted, alcohol declined over the last 3 months – so there’s a new trend for you to consider! Focus on your engine room…gaming.
