SuperEnalotto affects Italian gambling

A lull in online betting in Italy has been recorded as the SuperEnalotto affects Italian gambling. While online poker, sports books and horse racing have always been big business in Italy it seems right now all eyes are on the €116 million SuperEnalotto Italy jackpot. Sports betting rose in June, as expected when the World Cup was running (and Italy was still in) but since then all online betting across Italy has fallen, as the SuperEnalotto Italy has grown.
Sports betting has fared the best in Italy this summer, due to the World Cup but after a €100 million high in June, sports betting has now fallen to €58 million, more than a 40% decrease. Skill games were also down and in fact the only online game not affected by the downturn was online bingo.
Even the sale of lottery scratchcards has been down week on week as the SuperEnalotto Italy jackpot has grown. Sales of lottery scratchcards are at a record low of just €2.9 million for July.
As everything falls, one thing continues to climb and that’s the SuperEnalotto Italy jackpot. An estimated €116.5 million for tonight’s draw, all eyes really are on that big jackpot and will continue to be until it’s won.
The interest in the SuperEnalotto Italy is palpable and clear from the figures above released this week. It’s not just Italian players getting excited either, world lottery players are also getting in on the SuperEnalotto Italy action. The next draw is this evening, will the SuperEnalotto finally find a winner?
