All-New stayAPT Suites Hotel Brand Launches in U.S.

MATTHEWS, N.C., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — New hotel brand stayAPT Suites is providing U.S. travelers with an unmatched hotel experience as the venture launches nationwide this fall beginning with their first location, which opened October 1 in Goldsboro,…

MATTHEWS, N.C., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — New hotel brand stayAPT Suites is providing U.S. travelers with an unmatched hotel experience as the venture launches nationwide this fall beginning with their first location, which opened October 1 in Goldsboro, N.C. Guiding the stayAPT Suites experience is a design philosophy that abandons the traditional one-room hotel layout in favor of a residential-feeling suite with intentional spaces.

Travelers visiting the Eastern region of the country will be among the first to utilize the game-changing layout marked by a dedicated living room, full kitchen, and separate bedroom. stayAPT Suites opens several new locations this fall and winter, including in Alexandria-Fort Belvoir, Va., Chattanooga, TN, Greer, S.C., Greenville, S.C., and Houston, TX. These locations are the first of 18+ hotels on track to open in the coming months from the hotel chain, which is headquartered in Matthews, N.C.

With hotel-lodging veteran Gary A. DeLapp at the helm, stayAPT Suites is poised for both a successful launch and long-term presence in the industry segment. President and CEO DeLapp is known for his notable contributions within the hotel industry, especially in the extended stay segment, with previous executive leadership roles served at Woodspring Suites, Extended Stay America, and Invitation Homes.

«For too long, it’s been status-quo for long-term lodging guests to sleep right next to a kitchenette,» said DeLapp. «Guests have always expected more, even if they felt they had to settle. Thanks to our unique room layout, stayAPT Suites is here to meet those expectations with space and in-room amenities that actually make life more comfortable away from home. I’m proud and excited to carry this vision nationwide, as we focus our efforts on enhancing the hotel-stay experience for travelers across the country.»

stayAPT Suites has plans to complete 100 corporate-owned and 200+ franchised locations throughout the country within the next 5 years. The brand will offer 2 and 3 story construction models ranging from 59 to 89 units. The development has no restricted territories and is designed to fit well in large, medium, or tertiary markets.

The new hotel offering is an attractive option for both guests and franchise owners with its midscale, never-before-seen designs, and efficient labor model, which calls for an average of 2.5 to 5 employees and provides very appealing cash-on-cash yields. The flexible prototype sizes and efficient land usage are ideal for sites ranging from 1.8 to 2.1 acres in size.

The first-of-its-kind concept offers widespread appeal to U.S. hotel travelers with its modern amenities and signature floor plan. Generously sized at an average of 500+ square feet, each suite is designed with an open-concept living room that includes a sleeper sofa, lounge chair, and wall-mounted 55-inch television.

The kitchen features a full-size stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator; and between the kitchen and living room, guests can utilize the center island as a place to eat, finish working, FaceTime with family, or read the morning news.

The private, separate bedroom, located down the hall from the living area, offers either a king or two queen-sized beds, a walk-in closet, desk, and a second large television.

Reservations for stayAPT Suites’ Goldsboro and Alexandria-Fort Belvoir locations are now available. The next planned location openings will expand stayAPT Suites hotels further across the country, with additional hotels currently under development in Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. To learn more about the stayAPT Suites brand, one-of-a-kind design concept, and additional locations currently underway, visit www.stayAPT.com.

About stayAPT Suites
stayAPT Suites entered the long-term lodging market with an announcement of its new hotel concept in January 2020. The new hotel brand, which has plans to open 18+ newly constructed hotels in the coming months, offers guests an experience not yet seen in its category. The room layout for each 500+ square-foot suite was intentionally designed to feel residential, with a dedicated living room, a full kitchen, and a separate bedroom. With a strong corporate financial backing and an experienced executive team in place, the Matthews, North Carolina-based chain is committed to building a portfolio of 100 corporate-owned hotels, in addition to franchising.

Raytheon Missiles & Defense’s StormBreaker® smart weapon approved for fielding on the F-15 Eagle

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies business (NYSE: RTX), today announced the StormBreaker® smart weapon has been approved for use on the F-15E by the U.S. Air Force’s Air Combat Command.

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies business (NYSE: RTX), today announced the StormBreaker® smart weapon has been approved for use on the F-15E by the U.S. Air Force’s Air Combat Command. The fielding decision means that F-15E squadrons can now be equipped with StormBreaker and deployed for missions.

«StormBreaker delivers an unprecedented capability to pilots in the field,» said Paul Ferraro, vice president of Raytheon Missiles & Defense’s Air Power business. «The weapon gives airmen a significant advantage – the ability to strike maritime or land-based maneuvering targets at range in adverse weather.»

StormBreaker features an innovative multimode seeker that guides the weapon by imaging infrared, millimeter wave radar, and semi-active laser in addition to or with GPS and inertial navigation system guidance.

«The weapon has proven itself in many complex test scenarios, against a variety of targets in extreme environmental conditions, and is now ready to fly,» said Cristy Stagg, StormBreaker program director at Raytheon Missiles & Defense. «With its multimode seeker and datalink, StormBreaker will make adverse weather irrelevant.»

StormBreaker’s small size lets fewer aircraft address the same number of targets compared to larger weapons that require multiple jets. It can also fly more than 40 miles to strike mobile targets, reducing the amount of time that aircrews spend in harm’s way.

The smart weapon’s initial fielding on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet for the U.S. Navy later this year and integration for fielding on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter are next for the program.

United States Online Gambling Market Report 2020: Live Casino Gaining Momentum Despite Stringent Regulations

DUBLIN, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «United States Online Gambling Market- Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2020-2025)» report has been…

DUBLIN, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «United States Online Gambling Market- Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2020-2025)» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

The United States online gambling market is projected to register a CAGR of 15.41% during the forecast period (2020 – 2025)

The current legislation framework for online betting in the United States allows only bookmakers licensed in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey to operate legally, as these are the four states where online betting is regulated

New Jersey is currently the largest market for regulated online gambling in the United States. Over a dozen legal and licensed online casino sites and poker rooms compete for an overall market that is worth more than USD 225 million a year. There are a number of sportsbooks and online sports betting apps live in the state.

As per the data released by the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), in June 2019, the revenues from the top three online casinos in New Jersey were as follows. The Golden Nugget/Betfair accounted for USD 13.6 million, the Resorts AC recorded USD 6.39 million revenue, and Borgata/Party earned a revenue of USD 5.66 million.

Key Market Trends

Live Casino Gaining Momentum in The Country

The live casino market is still at nascent stage in the country, owing to its stringent regulations. However, software providers, like Ezugi and Evolution gaming, have been granted licenses to provide their live deal games in New Jersey. Thus, global players are investing significantly and entering into this market, in order to broaden their geographical presence and customer base. For instance:In January 2018, Evolution Gaming opened its first live casino studio in Vancouver. The New Jersey studio offers ten tables of various games, including American Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, and Slingshot Roulette.

Moreover, Evolution Gaming signed contracts with several licensed operators, such as Ocean Resort Casino, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, 888casino, and PokerStars Casino New Jersey. Apart from key players, software providers are also embarking on mergers and acquisitions as one of their key strategies to achieve consolidation and optimize their offerings. For instance, in January 2019, Evolution gaming acquired live dealer gaming provider Ezugi. Ignition Casino, BetOnline, MyBookie, Bovada, 5Dimes, and The BoVegas Casino are some of the prominent players offering live casino games across the country.

Pennsylvania is The Fastest Growing Market

Pennsylvania is the fourth and biggest state to legalize and regulate online gambling. The new law allows for online casinos, online poker, sports betting, and more. Casino gaming (including slots and casino table games, such as roulette and blackjack), poker, sports/horse race betting, and fantasy betting are regulated by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, whereas lotteries are regulated by the Pennsylvania Lottery. Also, as per the data published by the American Gaming Association, the total gross gaming revenue of Pennsylvania casinos amounted to approximately USD 3226.92 million in 2017, which was the second-highest after Nevada.

Therefore, regulation of online casinos in the state is expected to increase the number of downloads of various online casino games and add more revenues in the overall online gambling market. After the imminent launch of internet gambling in 2019 in the state of Pennsylvania, the companies are forming partnerships, to handle the spur of demand for these online casino platforms and provide consumers with better online casino-playing experience

Competitive Landscape

The United States gambling market is a highly fragmented market and comprises regional and global players such as 888 Holdings PLC, William Hill PLC, Caesars Entertainment Corporation and others. Major players are focusing on mergers and acquisitions to expand their presence in the country and to enhance their brand portfolio to cater to various preferences of the consumers. Merger and acquisition is the most preferred strategy in the casino gambling market.

The key players are also entering into partnerships/agreements to enhance their offerings. Moreover, these players are also focusing to launch their offering in the new potential markets.

For instance: In 2018, 888 Holdings PLC launched a new portfolio of live dealer casino games in New Jersey, as part of the continued expansion of its business in the Garden State.
