  • ECA's European Casino Industry Report
    ECA’s European Casino Industry Report Prepared by ECA’S EUROPEAN CASINO INDUSTRY REPORT he European Casino Association (ECA) proudly presents the second edition of the ECA European Casino Industry Report. After the great success of the first report in 2013, it was Tclear that the European Casino Industry Report would become an annual standard, not only for all ECA members, but also for many other stakeholders presenting a comprehensive overview of the European casino industry. As was also the case last year, all of the ECA members have contributed to the chapter about their country. Their support is essential to the completeness and accuracy of the report and, as such, is greatly appreciated. This report would also not be possible without the general support from ECA’s associate members, Herzfeld Consulting and GamblingCompliance. There have been a few recent developments within the ECA membership, which are reflected in the additions to this year’s ECA European Casino Industry Report. ECA is happy to include chapters about its two newest members, Latvia, and most recently, the United Kingdom. Though ECA and the National Casino Forum have maintained positive relations throughout the years, both organizations felt that joining forces would help to fulfil the common industry regulatory and policy endeavours and that a unified voice would reinforce our influence in Europe. It is very rewarding to see that ECA continues to amass strength as it reaches the 10 year anniversary of its official founding in January 2005. Today ECA represents an industry of close to €8bn and the interests of approximately 900 casinos and over 70,000 employees in 25 countries across Europe and is the recognised voice of the licensed European casino industry.
