The Casino Association of South Africa has released its 13th annual survey of the casino industry in South Africa.
The survey provides an overview of the health of the industry based on the research findings and statistics published by gambling regulators, CASA member casinos and independent studies.
Among the highlights of the report are a recovery of the casino industry, reflecting a 3.5 per cent improvement in gross gambling revenue.
Last year's Survey of Casino Entertainment in South Africa showed that the casino industry had experienced its first contraction (down 1.8 per cent) since the industry’s inception in 1997. This year’s edition showed it bouncing back to generate R18.5bn in gross gambling revenue - an improvement of 3.5 per cent over last year’s figure of R17.8bn and a testament to the industry’s resilience and sustainable business practices.
