G3-247 Report SPAIN
01 It’s been a tough few years for the gaming industry. Incomes are down and machine numbers are down. Manufacturers have been relying on selling kits and the once vibrant gaming sector has been plodding along. But things are moving and the Spanish market has an air of positivity.
THE VIEW ACROSS THE SECTORS CASINO - There are 39 casinos currently open in
Spain, a figure which has remained fairly stable over the years. The number of visitors is around 4.1 million with an average spend of €74 per client.
There are 2,352 slot machines in operation in casinos as compared to 2,411 in 2011.
In 2012, casinos saw €1.4bn worth of sales, which was 7.6 per cent drop on 2011 figures. The GGR was €307m, a reduction of 9.6 per cent on 2011, of which €171m came from table gaming and €105m came from slots with the remainder from tips and entry fees.
BINGO - Bingo is hugely popular in Spain, however, numbers have dropped over the years. Back in 1997 there were 539 bingo halls, which has declined steadily to 372 in 2012. The GGR for bingo halls was €1.7bn,
which is a drop from €1.9bn in 2011. At its highest, bingo saw a GGR of €3.2bn in 2006 and 2007. The highest volume of business comes from bingo halls in Madrid, Cataluña, Valencia, Andalucia and the Canaries, which between them accounts for 70 per cent of income.
AMUSEMENT MACHINES - The drop has been sig- nificant for pure amusement products. Back in 2001 there were 155,451 amusement games in the Spanish market. Today, there are around 38,000. The reason for this enormous shift lies in the home consumer market primarily and the lack of interest in video-game amusement arcades, which were once a staple diet in Spain.
AWP MACHINES - Category B machines as the slots are known, stand today at around 214,000 in total. Back in 2001 the figure was 245,000, which peaked in 2008 with 252,000 machines across Spain.

There are 2,590 gaming arcades in Spain. In the past there were 3,994 in 2001 at its peak, but the decline has been steady.
The amount gambled on B machines came to €8.5bn in 2012, whilst GGR was €2.7bn. Madrid, Andalucia, Cataluña and Valencia boast the highest incomes and represent 60 per cent of total incomes from category B machines.
