However, the actual expenditure was much lower, €178,892,794, given that no less than €4,480,296,136 have been returned to the players in the form of winnings. Bets were a total of 60,696,636

After processing the data on the overall trend of casino games in Italy in February, let's analize the market shares of the main concessionaires, currently 86 are operating.
We do it by referring to the expenditure, i.e. the difference between the collection and what has been returned to the players in the form of winnings. From this point of view, the queen of February is Gbo Italy Spa, a company resulting from the merger between Lottomatica and Goldbet: it holds two concessions, one with 7.17 percent of the market and the other with 6.03 percent, for a total of 13.2 percent.
Sisal Entertainment Spa follows, with 9.45 percent and Snaitech spa is at the third place, with 8.23 percent. We have to report the good performance of Oia Services Limited, with 0.55 percent, while land-based casinos still hold quite limited shares: 0.16 and 0.05 percent respectively for Casino di Sanremo Spa and Casino di Venezia Gioco Spa.
