    4- Glossary

    The «Gross Gaming Revenue» corresponds to the sum of the various operated games, after deduction of the payment of the winnings to the players. This amount is debited of the "levies" (i.e. tax to the State, the city halls, CSG, CRDS).

    The «Gross Gaming Revenue» after deduction of the levies, becomes the «Net Gaming Revenue», a component of the turnover.
