foreword

One of the key mandates of the National Gambling Board (referred to as ’the board’) is to monitor market share and market conduct in the South African gambling industry. In doing so, the board has gathered national gambling statistics and limited information in terms of market conduct on the different legal gambling modes in South Africa over many years. National gambling statistics are published annually on the website (www.ngb.org.za). However, the board resolved that a comprehensive report on the performance of all licensed gambling modes be published.

The need arose to extensively map the gambling industry in terms of size, growth and nature and inform stakeholders and the public accordingly. The sharing of information in this report is based on those gambling modes regulated by the board i.e. casinos, limited payout machines, bingo and wagering and betting in terms of horse racing and sport.

This report is the first of its kind to map the gambling industry and provide the reader with a national overview about the size and scope of different regulated gambling modes in South Africa. This initiative further serves as a benchmark for future reports by informing the reader about gambling trends by gambling operators, number of outlets and gambling positions, as well as national gambling statistics per gambling mode.

The board would also like to extend its gratitude to Provincial Licensing Authorities for submitting information and statistics as required.

Explanatory Notesterm eXPlanation

bingo Bingo means a game played in whole or in part by electronic means that is played using cards or other devices; that are divided into spaces each of which bears a different number, picture or symbol; and which are arranged randomly such that each card or similar device contains a unique set of numbers, pictures or symbols; in which an operator calls or displays a series of numbers, pictures or symbols in random order and the players match each such number, picture or symbol on the card or device as it is called or displayed; and the player who is first to match all the spaces on the card or device, or who matches a specified set of numbers, pictures or symbols on the card or device, wins a prize.

bookmaker A bookmaker, bookie or turf accountant is a person or organisation that takes bets on various events or contingencies such as horse racing, football, rugby union or marriages, births, names, divorces and even in extreme cases deaths etc. at agreed upon odds (fixed odds).

casino A casino is a facility which is licensed to house and accommodate certain types of licensed casino style slots and table gambling games.

Gambling machine/slot machine used interchangeably

A slot machine, informally known as a fruit machine, is a casino gambling machine with three or more reels which spin when a button is pushed or a handle is pulled (older mechanical types). These slot machines are also known as one-armed bandits because of the one lever on the side of the machine (the arm) and because of their ability to leave the gamer penniless (bandit). The machine pays off based on patterns of symbols visible on the front of the machine when it stops. Slot machines are the most popular gambling method in casinos and constitute about 80 percent of the average casino’s income.

Gross gambling revenue (GGr)

Gross gambling revenue is defined as the Rand value of the gross revenue of an operator in terms of turnover less winnings paid to players.

Horse racing Horse racing is the sport in which horses and their riders take part in races, typically with substantial betting on the outcome.

licenced (all modes and outlets)

Licensed is when a person or company is in possession of a valid licence, registration card or certificate allowing him/them to offer approved gambling activities within a licensed premises to over 18 year old persons.

limited payout machine (lPm)

Limited payout machine means a gambling machine outside of a casino in respect of the playing of which the stakes and prizes are limited.

route operator (ro)

Route operator is a juristic person which is licensed to own and operate limited payout machines, maintain and effect the collection of money and paying of taxes and levies in respect of all machines under its licence.

Site operator (So)

Site operator is a natural or juristic person licensed to manage limited payout machines owned by a route operator on his licensed premises (also known as a site) and to make them available to be played by members of the public.

term eXPlanationtable game In casinos, the term table game is used to distinguish games such as blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat that are

played on a table and operated by one or more live dealers like a croupier or poker dealer.taxes/levies Gambling tax levied by and collected by provincial licensing authorities.totalisator/Pari-mutuel betting used interchangeably

Totalisator is the name for the automated pool betting system which runs pari-mutuel betting, calculating payoff odds, displaying them, and producing tickets based on incoming bets.

Parimutuel betting (from the French: Pari Mutuel) is a betting system in which all bets of a particular type are placed together in a pool; taxes and the “house-take” are removed, and payoff odds are calculated by sharing the net pool among all winning bets.

turnover (to) Turnover is the rand value of money wagered. This includes “recycling” which refers to amounts that are staked on more than one occasion). “TO” in the Fixed Odds/Bookmaking environment is, however, different from other forms of gambling in that the amount of money crossing the table is NOT seen as turnover, because the amount of money staked/wagered/bet on an event is returned to the player should the player win the wager/bet, so a true description of turnover in Fixed Odds/Bookmaking parlance is money wagered minus the stakes wagered on winnings bets = Fixed Odds/Bookmaking turnover.

executive Summary: overview of the South african Gambling SectorintroDUctionOne of the strategic outcome-orientated goals of the board is to gather information to provide a holistic overview of the South African gambling sector. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the South African gambling sector in terms of market conduct and national gambling statistics applicable to those gambling modes regulated by the board for the financial year 2012/2013 (exclusive of the national lottery). The market conduct information represents the status of the sector as on 31 March 2013. Breakdowns per province and gambling mode are discussed in more detail in the report. Information is submitted by all Provincial Licensing Authorities (PLAs). This report is the baseline upon which future reports will be benchmarked. The report provides actual information of the gambling sector regulated by the National Gambling Board (NGB) in terms of the National Gambling Act (NGA).

caSinoSA total number of 36 casinos (out of a maximum allowable 40 available licenses) is operational in South Africa and owned by five controlling shareholders of which three have multiple licenses. The total number of licensed operational machines (slots) in South Africa is 22 919, as well as 832 gambling tables, representing 30 831 operational gambling positions in casinos.

limiteD PaYoUt macHineS (lPms)Route operators manage 1 821 site operators in the LPM sector. The total number of installed LPMs in South Africa is 7 743 across all provinces except in Northern Cape where no LPMs are rolled out.

racinG anD bettinGTwo totalisator licenses have been issued and for economic reasons they are operating as one in the racing and betting sector by virtue of a joint agreement between the two companies licensed. This has resulted in them having 397 licensed totalisator outlets, both branches and agencies (the latter is businesses owned by independent persons who offer tote bets for a percentage of turnover from that site they operate from). The total of 225 licensed bookmakers are in operation countrywide. This is both sole trader and corporate bookmakers. Between them they own 380 fixed odds/bookmaking licensed outlets.

chapter 1: introduction

1. introDUction 1.1 One of the strategic outcome-orientated goals of the board is to gather information to monitor the profile, size, growth and performance of,

as well as growth in the South African gambling sector.

1.2 The information contained in this report is based on legalised gambling modes in South Africa as regulated by the National Gambling Board (NGB), namely casinos (tables and slots), betting on horses and sport (bookmakers and totalisators, on and off course), limited payout machines (LPMs) and bingo (traditional and electronic).

1.3 NGB monitors market conduct (e.g. number of machines/slots/EBTs, tables, positions applicable to the casinos, limited payout machine and bingo sectors, as well as the number of gambling operators and outlets) in the South African gambling sector, as well as gathers and analyses national gambling statistics in terms of turnover (TO), gross gambling revenue (GGR) and taxes/levies quarterly. The NGB website is updated with a detailed presentation on an annual basis on audited information (national gambling statistics) representative of that financial year (FY).

1.4 The information provided in this report is sourced from Provincial Licensing Authorities (PLAs) quarterly. Annual audited information is submitted in July 2013. All the consolidated national gambling statistics are audited figures, except for those figures submitted by the Northern Cape Gambling Board (raw figures).

1.5 Prior to the compilation of this report, PLAs have been requested to verify submitted audited figures. This resulted in changed statistics submitted by the Limpopo Gambling Board, as well as the Eastern Cape Gambling and Betting Board. As a result, statistics in this report will differ from those ‘audited’ figures published in the FY13 NGB Annual Report, as well as the presentation of statistics published on the NGB website in August 2013. The board can not be held responsible for the correctness of information (refer to the disclaimer).

1.6 The information on market conduct is based on the status as on 31 March 2013, whereas national gambling statistics is reflected for the financial year 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 referred to FY13.

1.7 The purpose of this report is to provide information to the stakeholders and policy makers about the status and performance of the gambling sector in South Africa (excluding the National Lottery) in the FY2012/2013. This reports serves as the benchmark for future reports and analysis.

1.8 This report is intended for use by regulators, stakeholders and the public to inform them of the performance of the South African gambling sector. The board must, however, stress that permission to use this information in other reports or studies studies must be obtained in writing from the NGB.

chapter 6: conclusionThe casino and limited pay-out machine sectors are fairly stable. The casino sector dominates other gambling modes or sectors in terms of the number of gambling positions, TO, GGR and taxes/levies collected. This is also the case with regards to Gauteng being the province accounting for the highest number of gambling positions, as well as the biggest amounts in terms of TO, GGR and taxes/levies collected.

Although the highest number of installed LPMs is found in KwaZulu-Natal (2 176), it is the Western Cape (1 630) that accounts for the highest amount of money wagered, GGR generated and taxes/levies collected.

The year on year statistics continue to show an increase in GGR, as well as taxes/levies across all modes of gambling in all provinces. The GGR increased by 11.9% from R18 417 million in FY12 to R20 914 million in FY13. Taxes/levies increased by 12.6% from R1 834 in FY12 to R2 098 million in FY13.

Growth is expected in the racing & betting, LPM and bingo sectors. This is especially applicable to expected increase in sport betting, the roll-out of bingo in other provinces such as Limpopo, Eastern Cape, North West and KwaZulu-Natal (and the expected growth in the number of electronic bingo terminals), as well as LPMs.

The Board will continue to monitor market conduct and national gambling statistics in the next financial year (FY14). The information in this report is the baseline on which analysis and comparisons will be built in future.
