Szerencsejáték Rt. is the largest
gambling service provider in Hungary. It has an exclusive right to sell number
draw games, sports bets and prize draw tickets in the whole territory of the
country and, through its investments, it also has interests in four Hungarian
casinos. The lottery company operates an online sales technology covering the
entire country and extensive retail network. The majority of products are
available by phone, on the Internet and via SMS, too. At present, the lottery
company operates six number draw games (five-number draw lottery, six-number
draw lottery, Scandinavian Lotto, Joker, Keno and Luxor), three types of sports
bets (Toto Pools, Tippmix and Goal Toto) and a collection of 15-20 prize draw
tickets. Two thirds of the Hungarian adult population are regular customers of
the Company, involving approximately five million players. The Company has a
more than 50% market share in the Hungarian gambling market. At the moment, the
staff consists of approximately 1,200 employees, of whom 700 work in its own
commercial network, but the number of related resellers is also high. As a
result of dynamic development of the Company, the gambling revenues per one
resident are the highest among the lottery companies of Middle-Eastern European
Countries having joined the European Union in May 2004.
Szerencsejáték Rt. has increased its turnover by some 70 % in the
past two years.
