The good moment of 'dot it' casino games continues: February expenditure is close to €143 million, about 83 percent more than a year ago.
A long positive moment for "dot it" casino games, that is to say companies with a concession to operate in Italy. According to the calculations of Gioconews.it on data of the operators, the expenditure in February of the so-called games of chance with fixed odds and solitaire cards was of €142,974,334, a figure that is obtained by subtracting €3,666,262,981, what has been returned to the players in the form of winnings, to the collection of €3,809,237,316.
The growth, compared to the €78,129,455 spent in February 2020, was of about 83 percent, but it must obviously be considered that last year land-based game was not in lockdown as it is now, with physiological transfer of part of the demand from the physical to the online channel.
Bets in February were 45.09.527, compared to 28.684.818 of a year ago.
