The DR gambling sector is embedded in the resort model and amplifies multipliers for hotels, F&B, retail and entertainment, creating direct and indirect employment.
Revenue is generated from GGR/NGR, license fees and fiscal revenues that are reinvested in control, security and responsible play.
The payment infrastructure is based on DOP/USD, which simplifies calculations for tourists and stabilizes cash-flow operators.
Seasonality is smoothed out thanks to year-round flows, peak load is supported by MICE events and winter beach demand.
Management is based on KPI: attendance, ARPU, hold, RTP/volatility, ADR and occupancy of hotels, as well as the share of non-gaming revenue.
AML/KYC, cache models, and data analytics boost transparency and margins.
In the medium term, steady growth is expected due to the expansion of hotel infrastructure, omnichannel (casino + online) and stable tourist traffic.
