Economics and statistics

Madagascar's gambling market is compact and concentrated in large cities and tourist areas, so revenue is sensitive to the seasonality of tourist traffic.

The main source of revenue for operators is video slots and electronic games; tables (roulette, blackjack, poker) give a smaller but stable share.

Calculations mainly in MGA; everyday demand is supported by cash and mobile wallets (MVola, Orange Money, Airtel Money).

The fiscal burden is formed from royalties, annual fees and gross gaming income taxation, which provides the budget with predictable revenues on a relatively small industry scale.

There are few direct jobs (hall operators, security, cash desks), more effect goes through related services - hotel sector, transport, food.

Key risks include MGA exchange rate fluctuations, energy supply and consumer incomes; to drivers - the growth of mobile payments, the development of urban travel infrastructure and the accurate digitalization of products in conjunction with land licenses.
