Everyone knows that gambling is big business but exactly how big is it? Just to give you an idea, the current global gambling market is worth over $440 billion. Furthermore, gambling software companies estimate that it could easily reach $650 billion by 2027. Thus, to keep up with the gambling industry, here are the 5 Biggest Gambling Companies in the World
The gambling market is made up of the American, European, Asian and African Market with the Asia being the largest. However, 6 of the largest companies in the world are from the UK and 4 from the US. On the other hand, Asia only has a few large gambling companies but they are huge.
