Denmarks gaming sector is experiencing a surge, with overall earnings reaching 1.57 billion Danish kroner (approximately $157 million) within the initial two months of 2022. This represents a 16% increase in comparison to the corresponding timeframe in the preceding year.
Although internet-based wagering and gaming witnessed a minor decrease, the true victors were slot machines and physical casinos, which experienced a resurgence following a downturn caused by the pandemic.
Slot machines, specifically, exhibited a substantial rise, generating nearly quadruple the revenue in February 2022 compared to the previous year. This helped to counterbalance the slight reductions in online gambling and betting earnings.
In summary, the Danish gambling sector appears to be rebounding effectively from the effects of the pandemic.
Gaming establishments in Denmark experienced a resurgence in 2022, rebounding from the pandemic’s negative effects that had plagued the sector the previous year. These venues generated a substantial sum after a bleak 2021 with zero income, representing an extraordinary year-over-year surge exceeding 40,000%. Brick-and-mortar casinos, severely affected by closures, faced comparable challenges. The start of 2022 saw them closed and deserted, but the resumption of operations in February brought a vital infusion of 31 million DKK. This revival underscores the tenacity of the Danish gambling sector and its significance to the nation’s financial well-being.
