Overview Considering Switzerland prohibited gambling between 1921 and 1993 the country is very fond of gaming today albeit in a limited format. At first only slot halls were permitted but finally in 2000 casinos entered the market although today casino revenue is dropping due to a smoking ban and an armed robbery in 2010 which may have put customers off. Last year the seven A Casinos saw a total of CHF524m whilst the B casinos saw CHF344m – a total of CHF868m compared to CHF936m the year previously. Tax revenues amounted to CHF450m of which CHF387m went to the Confederation and CHF62m was paid to the various cantons of type B casinos. Meanwhile two new casino licences have been issued for the city of Zurich and region of Neuchatel. Swiss Casinos received a licence for an A Casino in Zurich and Neuchatal has received a B licence for Casino de la Rotonde. They are expected to open in 2012 which will increase the number of total casinos to 21. Also after years of battling the Tactilo VLT machines operated by Loterie Romande remain in the market despite a push by the casinos to get them removed. Loterie Romande saw a GGR of CHF358m in 2010.
