Online slots GGY in Britain amounted to a quarterly record of £745 million [$1.01 billion] during Q2.

Online gross gambling yield (GGY) increased 2% year-on-year during the second quarter in Great Britain, driven by a record performance for online slots despite the sector facing new stake limits.

Total GGY for the three months to 30 June was £1.49 billion [$2.02 billion], according to data from the Gambling Commission. This surpassed the £1.46 billion [$1.98 billion] reported in Q2 last year and also beat Q1 this year by 3%.

The increase in GGY was in addition to a rise in the total number of bets and spins. This was 6% higher year-on-year at 26.1 billion for the three-month period.
