Gambling revenue in Denmark fell 2.8% year-on-year in September as growth within the country’s online sector failed to offset declines elsewhere in the market.

Revenue for September was DKK533 million ($81 million), data from Denmark regulator Spillemyndigheden shows. This falls short of DKK569 million last year and is also 3.2% less than August’s total.

Online casino gaming remains the primary source of revenue in Denmark by some distance. For September, revenue topped DKK288 million, up 12.1% from the previous year but short of DKK299 million in August.

Some 77.1% of all online casino revenue came from slot machines. Blackjack and roulette each accounted for 6.7% of revenue in this sector, poker 3.6%, bingo 3.1% and other games 2.7%.
