Back by popular demand is our annual Market Review ’10-’11, which for all you avid statistic lovers contains the most comprehensive list of facts and figures on the main European gaming markets to be found in any gaming magazine.


In a challenging and

changing industry it’s still rewarding to see


For the fourth year running we have compiled a stream of important data on 16 European countries, which includes figures detailing locations and products from the different spheres of gaming and presents an exhaustive overview of each country’s legislative developments since the previous year.


In addition the Review includes all the market reports we have featured in G3 during a rollercoaster year in 2010, from our largest ever country study, Italy, to markets under-


going lots of changes in 2011, Holland, Denmark and Slovakia.


We believe G3 has set a high benchmark with our in-depth market reports and special issues and we aim to continue with our coverage alongside monthly news and updates on technology, operations and legislations for both the land-based and online gaming sectors in G3 and G3i magazines.


With constantly changing laws and


regulations around the world, the opening up of regulated online gaming markets and gaming industries and businesses around the world moving quicker and disappearing faster than the Icelandic ash cloud, we are doing are up most to keep you informed and up to date with the most important events.


As the lines between real gaming and online gaming merge and criss-cross their way over once very static borders, the opportunity to diversify and merge has never been so great. In a challenging and changing industry it’s still rewarding to see the new opportunities now out there waiting to be grasped. As Walt Disney once said: ‘Change is inevitable – Growth is optional’.


Meanwhile, your input is always welcome and once again a huge thank you to the various trade associations, governmental bodies and those poor devils at the end of my nagging emails, who give their time and effort in the creation of this report. It is appreciated and keeps my supply of valium down to a minimum daily dosage.


The next special issue currently being compiled for G3 is our continental market report on Africa. The February issue of G3 features the fourth installment of a series of fascinating reports in some hitherto unexplored gaming markets. We hope you enjoy the read.
