This year revenues of gambling and chance gaming companies could grow 10%, thus sector would leave behind the decrease of 7% in sales reported in 2011, warned the President of the Association of Permisionaries, Operators and Suppliers of the Entertainment and Chance Gaming Industry (AIEJA), Miguel Angel Ochoa Sanchez.
'We will recover from last year’s 7% fall and also we will grow 3%, so we can anticipate that there will be a mixed growth of 10%,' he said.
However, the representative of operators of gambling halls said that the sector could grow more if there is new legislation that will give legal certainty to the permisionaries.
He regretted that despite the fact that the industry has grown in recent years, it has not yet reached the volume of revenue that countries such as Argentina, whose staking business is four times higher than the one of Mexico. (Mexican Business Web with information from Reforma)
