However, revenue was down slightly from a record &euro;128.3m in the first quarter of this year.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:20.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">Sports betting stakes rose 236.2 per cent to &euro;304.9m, partly thanks to Euro 2020. Football remained the most popular sport, accounting for 77.5 per cent of all online sports bets. It was followed by tennis (9.6 per cent) and basketball (8.7 per cent).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">Meanwhile, online casino revenue rose 20 per cent to &euro;57.5m, with stakes up 25.2 per cent year-on-year to &euro;1.65bn. Slots were the most popular option, making up 76 per cent of all casino bets.

American roulette was the most popular non-machine retail gambling option, generating &euro;1.5m in revenue. It was followed by baccarat (&euro;883,170) and blackjack (&euro;775,530).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">Casinos and bingo halls in all areas of Portugal were allowed to reopen last month.
