CAMPIONE D'ITALIA - The gaming house ended March with revenue amounting to €8,686,225, 7.38 percent more than last year, while entrances amounted to 60,240 units, grown of 0.49 percent. We must report the good performance of slot machines, collecting €5,665,446, 3.78 percent more, but there are many games with a positive sign, even with a smaller percentage weight on revenue: French roulette (plus 28,28 percent), trente et quarante (plus 53.75 percent), tournament poker (plus 94.78 percent) and not in tournament poker (plus 58.56 percent). Blackjack is at plus 25.56 percent while punto banco ends with plus 11,71 percent. Painful points, but not too much given the final result, fair roulette, which loses 83.43 percent, and even craps, with a negative sign of 69.97.
In the first quarter the casino collected €23,705,356.53, 6.55 percent more than the same period of 2016, while in the last twelve months (not consistent with the calendar year) the result is €94,302.744,59, i.e. minus 0.15 percent.
SANREMO – The Casino di Sanremo is at the second place, albeit with a negative sign of 3.05 percent, penalized, in March, by the trend in the last days of the month. In total, it collected € 3,387,450.92.
Roulettes are good, both French roulette (€389.405, 15.40 percent more) and fair roulette, with €75,740 euro collected. However, other games are suffering, such as slots, collecting € 2,597,444, 7.11 percent less, and even blackjack, with a negative sign of 41 percent.

The two locations totally collect €7,032,185.74, 11,74 percent less than a year ago. But the attendances are growing: 65,435 throughout, i.e. 4.28 percent more.

SAINT VINCENT - The Casino di Saint Vincent is again in last position. However, for it March was a month where its consolidation or relaunch has been decided,at least we hope so, appointing a new sole director and the green light of Palazzo Chigi to the law on financial restructuring of its management company. Waiting for the business plan, which should be ready by May, the 10th, we have a negative result in March: €4,641,209, i.e. 16,12 percent less, since it matches with th decrease of 13.07 percent of attendances, stopped at 29,540 units. Slots lose 16.12 percent, with €4,641,209 collected, but there are other games that have a negative sign: French Roulette (minus 52.16 percent) and American roulette (minus 69.55 percent), while craps decrease of 55.95 percent. However, positive games don't reverse the overall trend. However, we must note the excellent growth of chemin de fer, collecting €105,915 (96.69 percent more), and blackjack, growing by 91.14 percent with €515,755 collected.
