GenX & The Millennials: Casinos' Future Customers
There are five living American generations. Two of them, GenX and the Millennials, comprise the age
group 18 to 47 and represent casinos' future customers. Chuck Underwood, one of the pioneers of
generational study and generational business strategy, will get you "into the heads" of these two
generations and help you understand the powerful generational core values that will guide their
consumer choices, career decisions, lifestyle preferences, personal relationships, and personal
behavior for life.

Today, every brand has a valuable digital audience, whether it's fans on Facebook, followers on Twitter, or
subscribers on YouTube. Marketers need to begin working together to distribute content across brands

consumers, and staying competitive in the rapidly changing digital world.
