Kasra Ghaharian (International Gaming Institute), Brett Abarbanel (International Gaming Institute), Shane W. Kraus (Psychology), Ashok Singh (Hospitality), and Bo Bernhard (Office of Economic Development) published an article titled, "Evaluating the generalizability of payment behavioral profiles across gambling brands," in International Gambling Studies. The study is the first to empirically evaluate the notion that models and analyses based on gamblers' payments behavior can be better generalized across gambling formats (e.g., casino, sports, poker, lottery, etc.). The findings have important implications for the use of AI and predictive algorithms in the gambling field, highlighting the need for stakeholders to be mindful of specific contexts and to tailor mode development accordingly.
