Casinos in Australia - Industry Research Report

On the money: Easing pandemic-related trading restrictions are supporting revenue recovery

The Casinos industry in Australia has faced a period of unprecedented crises, with a spate of government inquiries endangering the casino licenses of the largest operators in the industry. These issues compounded a period of highly restricted patronage following the COVID-19 outbreak, as border closures and lockdowns sharply reduced turnover at all casinos in Australia. Overall, these disruptions have contributed to an annualised revenue decline of 2.5% over the five years through 2022-23, to an anticipated $5.8 billion. Yet, this includes an expected surge in 2022-23 of 45.7%, as all pandemic restrictions are lifted and casinos return to full operational capacity.

Companies in the industry operate facilities that offer a range of gambling activities, such as table wagering games and electronic gaming machines. Firms also generate revenue from associated entertainment, hospitality and accommodation facilities.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
