Derris does data. As Vice President of Research for The Innovation Group, Derris Newman has an exceptional ability to not only locate, but to monitor and analyze an enormous amount of gaming-related information and statistics. These materials include a database of casino profiles and revenues from public gaming jurisdictions throughout the world, as well as information from news services, newspapers, trade journals, newsletters and other information sources.

The data that Derris oversees are plugged in to the company's gaming and hospitality studies, and are also distributed to relevant clients such as the American Gaming Association, Bear Stearns, Deutsche Bank, CIBC World Market and Salomon Smith Barney. His data is also used to produce the Gaming Location Maps published by the Global Gaming Business Magazine for North America, Australia and Asia.

Using his proficiency in a variety of database, spreadsheet and GIS software, Derris can evaluate casino player databases for maximum marketing potential. He has developed an expertise in breaking down these databases to identify the demographic make up of the strongest gaming patrons and also recognize similar pockets of populations not already tapped by the casino operators.

In addition to his support responsibilities, Derris has completed several comprehensive casino, hotel, convention center and golf course assessments for such gaming areas as Alabama, California, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma and Washington. He has recently completed a statewide assessment in Oklahoma for Multimedia Games, Inc., accurately projecting the optimum number of devices for each market in the state. The company used his information as the basis for developing their corporate strategy for supplying Class II devices.

Derris also assisted in assessing the Canadian, Pari-Mutuel and Native American sections of the Global Gaming Almanac. His detailed research into consumer spending patterns and retail trends led to his performing a retail assessment for a Bear Stearns' report on the Las Vegas market. He has also worked on a number demographic studies, transportation projects and database design for municipal agencies. Derris joined the Innovation Group in 1993 after studying financial accounting at Louisiana State University and Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism at the University of New Orleans.
