Grupo Henares is a significant player in the Community of Madrid, both in the area of the running of gaming halls and sports betting shops, as well as the operation of recreational machines in catering establishments.
“BetSlotS is born from the union of these two companies and unites, on the one hand, the great experience of Grupo Henares in the efficient management of gaming halls and, on the other, the experience and backing that a large multinational like Codere offers to its partners, nurturing gaming halls to a new public that adds additional income, with the most modern technology and customer insight, adapting its offer to the demands of an increasingly demanding market,” Codere said in a statement.
Codere was founded in 1980 by the Martínez Sampedro family, a group running recreational establishments and the Franco brothers, owners of Recreativos Franco, one of the largest slot machine manufacturers in Spain. Codere began as an AWP machine operator. Focused initially in Madrid, by 1982 CODERE directly or indirectly managed over 3,000 Type B AWP machines. Today it is one of the world’s leading gaming companies.
Codere’s estate of gaming machines increased by 2.4% to 56,571 machines, up from the 55,263 in the fourth quarter of 2017 with Spain’s machine total seeing a 5.1% increase and Mexico’s a 4.4% increase. During the period, Codere operated 148 gambling halls, an increase of four whilst its sports betting positions increased 46.6 per cent to 6,227.
