Size and shape

How many businesses there are and how small they are. Fragmentation is the first thing an entrant — or anyone selling software into this industry — needs to know, and it is one of the few things that is actually measured.

Largest four provinces by establishment count. Establishments with employees only — sole operators with no payroll are not in this table, so in trades and personal services the true number of businesses is higher.

Measured, not forecast: the share of US establishments opening in one year that were still active later. It counts good operators and bad ones together, which is exactly why it is the honest answer to “what are the odds”. It is for the whole sector rather than this market, and the ten-year figure comes from an older cohort because no younger one has reached ten years.

How businesses here compete

The structural profile of subsector 713, which every industry beneath it inherits. This is analyst judgment from how the subsector is organised — not research into this industry, and not a measurement.

local competitionhigh capitalUNVERIFIEDinherited from 713 Amusement, gambling and recreation industries

Facility businesses — gyms, golf, ski, marinas, entertainment centres — with high fixed cost and revenue that follows weather, seasons and discretionary income. Gambling is a licensed exception.

Who sets the price: The operator, within what a local catchment will pay.
The software it runs on: Membership and class booking, tee sheets, point of sale, gaming management.

Market screens and studies

Market-entry records filed along this branch of the hierarchy. A record at or beneath this code is about this industry; one above it is about something wider that contains it.

No operating-business record sits in this industry — the record filed here is a software market, shown in the next section.

Software serving this industry

The vertical software markets filed along the same branch — who sells to these businesses and who they would have to displace — and then the generic categories every business buys whatever it does.

Casino & Gaming Management SystemsOne thing must be true

binding constraint: incumbent vulnerability

Incumbent Light & Wonder (NASDAQ: LNW) and IGT (Apollo, private since July 2025)

The floor systems that matter are attached to the game content and cabinets a casino already buys from Light & Wonder or IGT, and the hospitality side is Agilysys — a $319.3M business that grew 15.9% in the year to 31 March 2026. Read that number carefully: Agilysys is a hospitality software vendor with one reportable segment and it does not disclose revenue by vertical, so none of the $319.3M can be attributed to gaming from the filing. Casinos head the list of verticals it names and its published reference customers are heavily gaming — Caesars, MGM, Boyd Gaming, Station Casinos, The Venetian, Marina Bay Sands — but the gaming share of revenue is not a reported figure and is not treated as one here. Note also the structural change: Apollo took IGT's gaming business and Everi private on 1 July 2025, so the largest competitor set stops disclosing. Regulatory licensure in each gaming jurisdiction sits ahead of the first sale.
