Holland Casino revenue jumps by €449m
After the reopening of the branches at the end of January 2022 and the end of the restrictive corona measures a month later, Holland Casino colleagues were finally able to get back to work.
Holland Casino Online also made a cautious contribution to the result in the first full year. External factors such as labor market tightness and inflation had a major impact on business operations in 2022. Other challenges related to the rapid succession of developments in online gambling.
Key figures 2022:
The gross income before gambling tax in 2022 amounted to €753.8 million, an increase of €449.6 million compared to 2021 (€304.2 million);

Petra de Ruiter, Chief Executive Officer: “For me personally, 2022 was all about getting to know the organization and colleagues at Holland Casino. One of the highlights was that we were able to festively open the new branches in Venlo and Utrecht. This showed how colleagues do everything they can to provide guests with a fun and surprising afternoon or evening out with safe, honest and reliable play.
