Saturation vs Demand: Spain's Most Over- and Under-Served Gaming Markets
18 Jun 20265 min readOperators · expansion teams
A market can look attractive on population and still be saturated on venues — or look quiet and be wide open. We divide each province's median mobility demand by its number of private gambling venues to get a simple demand-per-venue ratio: high means under-served, low means crowded.
