The Panamanian continue to trust their economic future to chance games, and they seem to do it more intensively each time because from January to September of this year, bets grew a 21.6%, compared with the same period of the year before.
Statistics of the General Controller’s Office indicate that the amount of bets in the Racetrack Presidente Remón has generated a raise of 19.5%, while the net sales of the draws of the National Lottery of Beneficencia have raised 7%.
Curious as it may seem, the official statistics do not offer any information on the activity of the casinos.
