Gaming companies aren't differentiated by the table games they offer, what slot machines they have, or even what comps they give to players. If you think about it, casino games themselves are pretty similar whether you're in Iowa or Macau.
What differentiates gaming companies today are the resorts they build and where those resorts are located. Put a megaresort on the desolate north end of the Las Vegas Strip, and you might go bankrupt before it's completed (see Echelon, Las Vegas Plaza, and Fontainebleau), but if you're building a multi-billion dollar resort in Macau or Singapore, it's almost impossible to lose money. No company has better locations than Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS), which is why it's one of the most profitable companies in gaming. Here's where the company's money comes from.

Where Las Vegas Sands' cash comes fromRevenue isn't a great way to measure a gaming company's success, so investors should look at the cash flow coming from gaming resorts. The best measure of cash flow for a gaming company is property EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The biggest investment a gaming company makes is building the resort itself, so once the resort is built, it's appropriate to measure ongoing cash flow, something EBITDA does better than net income.
