UK casino performance boosted by London high-rollers

Casino drop and win data is provided voluntarily by all casinos on a monthly basis to the Gambling Commission, and shows the amount of money exchanged for chips in a casino (drop) and the amount retained by the casino (win).

The latest figures, which compare September 2015 – August 2016 with the previous 12 months, show little change across most of the regions, except an extra £10m won by casinos in Midlands & Wales from an addition drop of £35m.

However it’s a different story in London where ‘high end’ London casinos managed to improve their House Win to 10.4% from a paltry 6.2% in the previous year

”

This means that while the drop for these casinos increased marginally (by £20m to £2,630,342,15), the total win shot up by 70% to £272,586,412.

In comparison ‘Other London’ venues saw revenues drop by 3% to £386,014,794 on the same drop.

Overall, the London high rollers boosted UK casino business with a 12% increase in win across the country to £997,138,203, even though drop was more or less static at £7,372,407,165.

This means that the House Win for the period was 13.5% compared 12.2% figure from the preceding 12 months

The highest regional House Win for the last year was in the South where it reached 15.9%, however even this was lower than House Win of 16.1% from the 12 months before.
