Slots was the star and poker the ugly duckling of Spain’s regulated online gambling market in Q4 2016.

Figures released this week by Spanish gaming regulator Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) show healthy gains in the online gambling market in the three months ending December 31, with overall turnover rising one-fifth to €2.9b, while operator revenue rose nearly one-third to €125.6m.

Sports betting continued to rule the turnover charts, but just barely. Online sports wagers totaled €1.27b in Q4, up 7.7% from Q4 2015, while casino turnover surged 54% to €1.2b. Bingo enjoyed more modest spending gains, rising 16.7% to €18.8m while poker fell nearly 7% to €415.6m.

Sports betting enjoyed much greater dominance in the Q4 revenue standings with €69.8m (+30.6%), well ahead of casino’s €36m, although the casino vertical’s year-on-year growth was far greater at 58.8%. Bingo revenue was up one-fifth to €2.2m while poker eked out a 4.6% gain to €15.2m.
