You both make this look easy man, but the difficult part sometimes is to be able to feel comfortable in front of somebody with poker face, l prefer if client makes faces or agree but a poker face is difficult to read on something that might be too subjective. 1. I would combine ice cream with alcohol :) , offer special ice cream at special cost . 2. Then of course loans for the casino giving out some upfront credit maybe? lol 3. Instead of 4 businesses reduce costs to manage onlyo 2 businesses, food and gamble with loans. Maybe creating a strategy, in which house always wins, like supermartingale of some sort for the casino, having a portfolio of debt from people as an asset for more loans, cut losses and expand icecream booz business. That'd be my crazy hypothesis :) awesome guys, thanks

Would this be correct if you broke down the customers on a household bases. Example. There are 300M people in US, assume 5 people per house therefore 60M households. Segmentation of household…addicted, normal, non-buying. The continue from here?

Thanks for the explanations! I was actually honestly quite confused about the chart (size of the bubbles and their relationship to the x and y axes, the meaning of the alcohol bubble being bigger than the $10 million Chicago market size bubble, etc.), so I would not have been able to pick up on that insight because of the confusion. What's the best way to ask questions for understanding, and how much are you allowed to question the interviewer on the chart to understand it before you start looking bad?

Question, why did you provide a solution before understanding the whole business? Ex. If I am going to analyze it, my response would be to ask before recommending. So before I'm going to provide the "organic and inorganic approach, or etc" I'll ask to separate each category first, ex. Alcohol - if you want to grow your business here, more what is the current situation of your alcohol business? it is illegal so what is the "law" in the places you are working on that could potentially ruin the overall business. Gambling - same with gambling, what is your current data etc etc, then once the data has been presented, that's when I will recommend, my key is understanding the past before going on to the future, what do you think of that approach? Sorry, I haven't finished watching I just realize that you recommended first before really knowing their current situation

Consulting case interviews are not about getting the right answer. Those of you who said this case was easy focused on the mathematical mechanics of getting the right answer. It was about how you approach the case, how you communicate, how you connect with the interviewer that will reflect whether you have the potential to become a successful consultant.

Price increases dont actually make sense in terms of the question being asked. It dosen't ask how the firms can grow but how to increase 'sales'. It's basic economics that an increase in price would be moving away from the point of sales maximisation.
