With 7,000 betting points and saloons, the gambling industry was one of the largest economic players in the country. So gigantic, that one of the companies turned out to be the largest employer in Albania, after the state, with a total of around 7,000 official employees.
Today, signs of such a past are rare. The bookies turned into bars, while the neighborhoods of the cities discovered other businesses, besides those who took money with tokens.

According to the Gambling Supervisory Authority, in the country today there are only 6 companies licensed to carry out this type of business: 1 national lottery, 1 televised bingo and 4 casinos.
But when the market was in its heyday, the money that Albanians spent exceeded the figure of 16.6 billion lek, or at today's exchange rate about 143 million euros. The largest part of the cake went to electronic casinos, which the government still has no plans to reopen, while sports betting circulated 5.8 billion ALL.

The state's benefit from keeping such an industry afloat was evident: from taxes, taxes, employee contributions and money that gambling recirculated into the economy, according to official documents, about 125 million dollars a year was benefited, of which 40 million only from taxes.
While today, the balance sheets of 6 licensed companies speak of a total turnover of 6 billion lek, from which taxes are only a fraction of what was once profited.

With the reopening of online betting, the government has made it clear. Sports payments are a burden on other projects, so gambling profits will be invested exclusively in this area, along with education and youth. But above all, this money will come from those who are still gambling today, but in black, in the invisible pockets of those who have not suffered the ban on gambling./ A2
