The United Kingdom Gambling Commission released figures for the Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) of the non-remote British commercial gambling industry, not including lotteries, and revealed that for the period of April 2014-March 2015, GGY was up 2% to more than £5.4 billion.
Sports betting makes up the bulk of the total £5.444 billion total, accounting for £3,249 billion, with casinos GGY exceeding £1 billion for the second consecutive year (£1.161 billion). Both GGY for sports betting and casinos increased compared to the same period in 2013, but both arcades and bingo saw drops in GGY to £371.
