You'd probably have to get the annual reports of the various companies

You could try a few of the bookmakers websites, e.g. www.paddypowerplc.com and sift(sp?) through their annual report.

This info is not easily available in any compiled form. Do you mind if I ask what you want this information for?

I can give you a few useful links.

Again, American centred.

There are a lot more gambling forums out there.

However, by their very nature, most gaming companies based offshore, accepting bets from Asia, and the United States are secretive about their operations, their turnover, bet handle, profit and loss.

I can give figures relating to the gaming industry going back to the late 1990's, which is when I started. One thing for certain, very few countries have High Street betting offices in the same nature of Ireland or England.

In my eyes, the days of the regular High Street betting office are numbered.
