Today there are 196 casinos in 59 of the 99 regions. Of the total revenue of €2.7bn slot machines generate €2bn and represent 90 per cent of the total revenue. There are four main operating companies which between them represent 75 per cent of the GGR whilst nine smaller groups represent 13 per cent and independents have 10 per cent.
Online gaming is limited to horse racing, sports betting and poker and is regulated by the ARJEL. In 2012 the GGR for each was €138m for sports betting, €263m for horse race betting and €297m for poker – a four per increase in total of 2011 figures.
