- 3% out of boredom because he has nothing else to do

3. those in which profit and entertainment are equally important criteria for their audience

The first category (mainly entertainment) includes casino games (both land-based and online), online gambling and VLT slots at OPAP agencies, the second category (mainly profit) includes lotteries, scratch cards, OPAP lotteries and lotteries, while the third category (both profit and entertainment) includes sports betting at OPAP agencies and on the internet and the Hippodrome.
