Gioconews.it analyzes the trend of Italian Casinos in the past month: revenue growing in Sanremo and Saint Vincent.
Ups and downs in September for the Italian casinos, obviously excluding that of Campione d'Italia, whose closure, from July, the 27th, 2018, literally brought the entire community to its knees without any real prospects for its reopening at the moment. But let's back to talking about the active ones, it is worth noting the positive trend of two of them, which end the month with an increase in revenue. In third position, and with the negative sign, Venice.
SANREMO - The good time of the Casino of Sanremo continues, waiting for official decisions on hiring or not a new general manager. In fact, revenue in September amounted to €3,616,558, which is a good 4.95 percent more than in the same month last year.
On the other hand, entrances decrease: they dropped by 5.54 percent and they were 14,387.
