A rich April for the Casino Campione's collection

The takings of the first quarter in fact amounted to just above 30 million eur (30.595.000 euro - +0.2% on the 1st quarter 2014) while the entrances, with the datum of 239,522 units, have increased, on the same period, of 2%. The 30 million euro of gaming income of the first four months are in line with the annual target of €90 million. A costant annual turnover in the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 that led to the growth of company's market share of five percentage points from 2010.

April data - Going back to April, with gaming income of €7.771.000, we recorded a growth of 10.6%, while the 62.912 entrancies recorded a growth of 1.4% compared to April 2014.

THE PAGAN'S COMMENT - According to Carlo Pagan, Ceo of the gaming house, "while the market performance remains consistently positive, the greatest concerns are from the macroeconomic field, where the weakening of euro against the Swiss franc brought also the casinos of Ticino asking for an intervention of central government.

In this situation of potential big changes in the field, the market performances of the Casino di Campione d'Italia in recent years, however, will allow to the company to have an important 'asset'.

Even because I am convinced that necessarily a season of careful, objective analysis of market data will start, eliminating the damaging lack of transparency and objectivity typical of the great instrumentality of judgment (daughter of 'bad policy') so common in our field. Finally, I expect a management assessment much focused on professional skills rather than on the attitude to create 'political consensus'".
