(PRWEB) May 9, 2005 -- Robinson & Associates, Inc., a casino customer service consulting firm, has teamed up with Service Sleuth to offer mystery shopping that provides results within a day instead of weeks and comparisons to the level of service at other casinos.

A recent survey by Yesawich, Pepperdine, Brown & Russell (www.ypb.com) and The Innovation Group (www.theinnovationgroup.net) shows that 84 percent of casino customers rate service as extremely important," says Martin R. Baird, chief executive officer of Robinson & Associates. Other areas of interest to casino guests, such as games, entertainment and food and beverage, werent even close in importance.

says Tom Mills, executive vice president of Service Sleuth. Shoppers for our company input their findings online and results are available to casinos at a special Web site as quickly as the same day of input. The data is available to Service Sleuth clients online 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Baird said his company and Service Sleuth also can take mystery shopping to the next level by showing casinos how their service stacks up against similar properties. Those properties are not named to keep their shopping results confidential.

Shoppers for our company input their findings online and results are available to casinos at a special Web site as quickly as the same day of input. The data is available to Service Sleuth clients online 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
