The market share ratio (MSR) measure whether a facility is getting its fair share of revenue<br />
based on the proportion of positions it has. If a facility is getting its fair share, then it has a ratio<br />
of 1.0. It is underperforming if its ratio is less than 1.0 and over performing if its ratio is greater<br />
than 1.0. As more competition has entered the region and it has expanded, Mohegan Sun has<br />
seen its market share ratio decline since 2007 when it had a ratio of 1.24. In 2010, Mohegan Sun<br />
is getting a little less than its fair share, with a ratio of 0.97, while PARX, Chester, and Penn<br />
National all over performed with each having a ratio higher than 1.0. Mount Airy has<br />
underperformed each year of operation with a ratio around 0.65 each year. The table below<br />
shows each facility’s market share ratio from 2007 to 2010. In addition, a snapshot of current<br />
MSR is provided based on year-to-date (YTD) 2011 performance.<br />

It should be noted that SugarHouse’s high MSR is related to its Phase 1 sizing at only half<br />
(approximately) of the number of gaming positions as PARX and Chester. Its win per table is<br />
currently by far the highest in the state, but it only has 43 tables compared to 172 at PARX and<br />
121 at Chester. The 1,600 slot machines at SugarHouse have a WPU of $291 compared to<br />
PARX’s 3,400 machines doing $308.<br />
