During September 2009 the Casino put in a very good performance with regard to the increase in the number of patrons, which totalled 42,668. This represents a 13.25% increase year on year. The cumulative total number of patrons to September represents a 3.72% increase year on year. The upward trend in the number of patrons thus continues: the first promising figures were recorded in June; then these were confirmed in July and August. These figures are testimony to the positive response of our patrons to the innovative marketing and product strategies which the Casino has adopted in 2009.
