Greece’s gambling market moved upwards in Jan-Sept

Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) amounted to 2.2 billion euros compared to 2.05 billion euros in the 9 months of 2024. OPAP and online companies hold the lion’s share. OPAP with TGR at 5.3 billion euros and GGR at 1.09 billion euros, compared to 5.1 billion euros and 1.04 billion euros respectively. Online companies with TGR at 5.4 billion euros euros and GGR at 746.5 million euros. The casino market is trying to find its footing again with TGR at 954.1 million euros and GGR at 185.1 million euros.

According to the Commission, land-based casinos are entering a new era. From traditional gambling venues, they are now evolving into integrated resorts (Integrated Resorts IRs) that aspire to offer, beyond gaming, entertainment, hospitality, conferences, gastronomy and entertainment. The Commission pointed out that Greece, with the landmark projects currently underway – the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Athens in Elliniko and the Voria in Maroussi, is dynamically positioned on the IRs map.

Also, the multiplier of investments in such projects is high, as the capital invested creates multiple revenues in the local and national economy, with indirect returns in trade, transport and real estate.
