The company, which runs casinos, betting shops and bingo halls, achieved a profit of €29.3m in 2010. Sales totalled €1.1bn and EBITDA stood at €241m, exceeding expectations.
Codere said its success last year reflected the company’s growth initiatives and strong performance in the Latin American and Italian markets.
