Abstract

We present a quantitative framework to determine the optimal number of customers at any type of casino gaming table (table occupancy) when the casino is not too crowded. Using baccarat tables in Macau as an example, we demonstrate how casino managers can apply this methodology based on the real situation in their casinos. We show theoretically that once the optimal occupancy for each type of table (a combination of the game and the lower limit) is known, a casino can achieve near-optimal average hourly profits as long as the occupancy of most tables is close to the optimal.
