March 2021 Gaming
PLEASE NOTE
- This month’s figures have been compared with March 2019 and 2018 due to the shutdown last year.
Greater Brisbane lockdown:
- Data for March uses 31 trading days despite the short lockdown across Greater Brisbane LGAs, from 5 pm on March 29th until noon on April 1st.
- LGA’s affected by the lockdown are Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay and Redland. Affected SA4’s are Brisbane East, Brisbane North, Brisbane South, Brisbane West, Brisbane Inner City, Ipswich, Logan – Beaudesert, Moreton Bay North and Moreton Bay South.
- ADR for these areas is based on the number of operational machines in February 2021. OLGR defines ‘operating machines’ as those which are switched on at the wall at the time of reporting (31 March 2021). Due the lock down, some venues within the affected LGA’s and SA4’s switched off their machines to reduce overhead operating costs while they were unable to trade. Therefore, the number of ‘operational machines’ as reported by OLGR is an inaccurate record of actual Operational EGMs for the whole months as these venues operated as per normal for 93% of the month.
March 2021 ($220.8M) showed a 9.34% growth in metered win in comparison to 2019 ($193.8M). ADR for Queensland is $176.
