By - 9 April 2018

Gross gaming revenue for the 18 casinos operating in Chile combined with the seven municipal casinos reached $40,321m (US$66,766,250), in February. This is a negative monthly variation of minus 0.9 per cent when compared to the same month last year, while accumulated real growth is minus 1.1 per cent over the last 12 months.

According to the latest report released by the Chilean Gaming control Board (SJC), in terms of gross gaming revenue, income generated by the casinos Casino Viña came in first place with 14.9 per cent ($5,997 m). Sun Monticello 14.8 per cent ($5,966m). Coquimbo 8.9 per cent ($3,605 m). Casino Rinconada 7.4 per cent ($2,986m). Marina del Sol Talcahuano 7.2 per cent ($ 2,907m).

Dreams Punta Arenas 3.6 per cent ($1,451m). Casino Puerto Varas 3.4 per cent ($1,367m). Dreams Valdivia 2.7 per cent ($1,083m). Gran Casino de Talca 2.3 per cent ($945m). Antay Casino & Hotel 2.2 per cent ($900m). Casino de Juegos del Pacífico 2.0 per cent ($810m). Marina del Sol Calama 1.9 per cent ($786m). Marina del Sol Osorno 1.8 per cent ($ 732m).

Casino Luckia Arica 0.8 per cent ($327m). Ovalle Casino Resort S.A. 0.7 per cent ($276 m). Casino de Natales 0.4 per cent ($147m).

Regarding visitor spending, during the month of February for the casinos which already come under the supervision of the SJC average expenditure stood at $53,925 per visit, meaning a real variation of minus 0.1 per cent when compared to February 2017, but a real cumulative growth when it came to expenditure of plus 1.1 per cent over the last 12 months. The 452,731 registered visits were equivalent to a variation of plus 0.4 per cent compared to February 2017 and minus 1.6 per cent over the last twelve months.

Meanwhile, total visitors to the municipal casinos (not including the casino in Puerto Varas, which does not record this information) stood at 360,311 for the month of February. Unfortunately, for now this information cannot be compared, indexed or added to that registered by the casinos as authorised by Law No. 19.995, because there are no standardised measures in place by the SJC. In addition, data for average visitor spend for the municipal casinos is still unavailable.
The amount played in the month of February, in the 11,183 gaming machines that were in operation in the 18 non-municipal casinos amounted to $326,965 m. The prizes paid out to the players reached $306,738m, equivalent to 93.8 per cent of the total bet. Gross income generated by the non-municipal casinos made up 60.5 per cent of the total with the municipal casinos accounting for the remaining 39.5 per cent.
