Gaming market analysis is based on these indicators:

• Turnover = total spending by players, i.e. all bets placed.
• Payout = the amount returned to players in the form of winnings. This is established by the regulator for each game and expressed as a percentage of turnover.
• Gross Gaming Revenue, GGR = the amount spent by Italians net of winnings. The ne plus ultra of gaming market indicators, it measures players’ real spending and is calculated as the difference between turnover and payout.

Gross expenditure is split between:

• Tax as established by law, applied to each individual game.
• Net Gaming Revenue, NGR, payable to Licensees, the distribution network (bricks and mortar and online) and suppliers of additional services.
