Overview Sports, horse and dog racing are by far the biggest part of the land based gambling business in Ireland and accounted for €1.1bn of the GGR in 2010. Lottery revenue was around €400m and gaming machines saw €200m revenues. Bingo and casino gambling each accounted for less than €100m each.
The total GGR in Ireland amounted to €3.6bn which has doubled over the last four years whilst the number of betting shops has also doubled from 700 to 1,200. The total GGR does not include online gaming which is estimated to be around €8bn.
However despite the growth the regulators have still not changed the very archaic legislation and Ireland operates under the old laws of 1956 despite a long over due review being promised. One major question is whether the country will legalise FOBTs. If the country was to also legalise casinos it is thought the industry could reach €157m in GGR annually and double this by 2020. It would also increase employment and open up the market extensively.
