The total revenue for Greece’s nine legal casinos fell 18 percent in 2010 to 500 million euros ($662 million) on the recession and illegal gambling, Kathimerini reported, without

saying where it got the information.

There were 2.8 million visitors to casinos in the first 11 months of the year, a 6.9 percent decrease on the same period a year earlier, placing 13.8 percent fewer bets, the Athens-based daily newspaper said.

The illegal gambling industry in Greece is worth 4 billion euros, according to Kathimerini.
