LOS ANGELES, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The gaming industry's premier newsletter and its leading executive search firm will conduct their ninth annual Internet-based national survey of casino executives to gauge how the casino industry attracts, retains and motivates its executive talent.



The ninth survey -- produced by Bristol Associates, Inc., a Los Angeles-based executive search firm, and Gaming Industry Observer, an award-winning newsletter acclaimed for spotting and analyzing crucial trends in the casino industry, comes during a period of unprecedented challenges for the gaming industry, both internationally and across the United States.

To participate in the survey, visit www.bristolassoc.com, go to the "Gaming Industry" page and click on the "Take the Executive Satisfaction Survey" button. Gaming Industry Observer will analyze the results and report them in a future issue of the prestigious newsletter. Participants can also find a link to the survey at www.gamingobserver.com.



Analyses of the first eight Annual Gaming Industry Observer/Bristol Associates Executive Satisfaction Survey results were published in Gaming Industry Observer. "This survey is nearly a decade old, but we have never polled executives during a period of such economic distress," Publisher Michael Pollock said. "Their views are more essential than ever, particularly as employers still need to retain and motivate talented executives."



Bristol Associates President James J. Bright said: "This survey has proven to be a critical tool for our clients to ensure that they are providing the tools, the environment and the rewards that executives need, and that should prove to be especially true this year."

Participants in the survey again will receive a complimentary copy of the results.
