Gambling income also rose by 15.9% from €63.5m to €73.6m. Licensed operators grossed €56.4m in revenue from gambling machines. Their first quarter revenue increased by 12.8%. The operators made €50.0m in 2018 during the first three months. Roulette and blackjack, contributed €3.9m to the income posted.
