While the Greek government fine tunes its longterm financial plans to avoid bankruptcy and comply with the requests coming from the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Commission, and the International Monetary Fund, the country's gambling industry shows some encouraging signs of growth.
According to a report released by the national Gambling Commission (Ε.Ε.Ε.Π.), the official data from 2014 showed that the industry grew nine percent from the previous year. This is the first time in five years that the Greek gambling industry manages to rebound, even if the contraction that it has suffered since the beginning of country's financial crisis has cut the market nearly in half, bringing the total revenues down to €5.
