The first six months of 2018 allegedly saw licensed casinos in Greece experience cumulative massive reductions in gross gambling revenues, turnover and visitor numbers.
Gross gambling revenues fall:
This came after the business recorded a similar 3.8% fall in such yields for the whole of 2017.
Citing ‘reliable resources,’ I Kathimerini reported that only the casinos at Corfu, Thrace and Thessaloniki had noticed their first-half gross gambling revenues improve when compared with the exact same six-month period in 2017. In the case of the previous set, the newspaper detailed this had been achieved thanks to lsquo;strong performance’ at the month of June.
Declines in visitor and turnover amounts:
Ultimately I Kathimerini reported that Greek casinos experienced a 2.3% decrease year-on-year in first-half visitor amounts to just over 1.3 million with only the Regency Casino Mont Parnes at Athens as well as the places in Corfu and Thessaloniki recording rises during the six-month period.
