State-owned Danish gaming operator Danske Spil has reported a slight increase in revenue for the first half of 2021, up 1.6% year-on-year to DKK2.34bn (€314.3m).

An increase in revenue from online gaming and lottery made up for declines in land-based gaming amid continued closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Danske Lotteri Spil, the operator’s core business, contributed the majority of this total, aided by large jackpots and increased online ticket sales. This helped lottery revenue grow 3.6% to DKK1.35bn for the six months.

Danske Licens Spil’s online casino and sports betting offerings also enjoyed increased revenue, up 4.3% year-on-year to DKK934.5m for the first six months of the year.

The growth was helped by a full sporting calendar and Denmark’s strong performance in the UEFA Euro 2020 championship, which helped the operator pick up 38,000 new customer registrations. The fantasy sports brand Swush saw revenue rocket 442% to DKK11.4m.

Across all operators, non-lottery gambling revenue in Denmark reached DKK2.88bn (€387m) in the first half, up 6.4% year-on-year.

Danske Spil’s online gaming and lottery gains were mirrored by a decline in land-based revenue due to continued closures for most of the first half. Elite Gaming venues were closed for five months (compared to three months in H1 2020), resulting in a 58.7% decline in revenue to DKK40.5m.

Company chair Peter Christensen said the results were satisfactory, emphasising that the operator’s return to the state was up year-on-year despite the introduction of its Safe Play initiative in the first half, introducing mandatory identification checks at all venues.

Danske Spil paid DKK288.2m in state taxes and saw an operating profit of DKK1.69bn, up 1.4% year-on-year. It maintained its revenue forecast of DKK4.60bn to DKK4.80bn for the year, but it upped its profit forecast to between DKK1.40bn and DKK1.50bn.

The expanded integration will bring Blueprint’s full Rapid Fire Jackpots portfolio into NetBet’s casino lobby over time.

Blueprint Gaming has expanded its partnership with UK-facing operator NetBet by rolling out its Rapid Fire Jackpots™ progressive jackpot content to the operator’s casino lobby.

The companies first partnered in 2025, with NetBet already offering Blueprint releases including Fishin’ Frenzy™ Lure ‘Em In, Eye of Horus and King Kong Cash. NetBet has also run a selection of Rapid Fire Jackpots™ titles, including Fishin’ Frenzy™ Big Catch 3, The Goonies™ Quest for Treasure 2 and Fishin’ Frenzy™ Even Bigger Fish 2.

Under the extended collaboration, Blueprint said the entire Rapid Fire Jackpots™ portfolio will be integrated into NetBet’s casino lobby over time, starting with an initial batch of titles now made available to NetBet players.

Rapid Fire Jackpots™ launched in June 2024 and is positioned by Blueprint as a complementary mechanic to its Jackpot King™ product, designed to deliver more frequent jackpot wins. Jack Lawson, Senior Account Manager at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Rapid Fire Jackpots™ has added a new dimension to our portfolio since launch, giving players access to more frequent jackpot drops alongside the premium gameplay experiences our content is known for.

“Expanding the rollout of the mechanic with NetBet allows us to build on the strong momentum already generated through our partnership, while further cementing our position as a leading supplier in the UK market.” Claudia Georgevici, PR Manager at NetBet Casino, said: “Blueprint Gaming’s titles have proven to be a strong addition to our casino lobby over the past year, and the integration of Rapid Fire Jackpots™ is set to further boost that offering.

“The mechanic’s combination of achievable, frequent jackpot wins and engaging gameplay delivers exactly the type of experience that resonates with our players, making it a valuable addition to our growing content selection.”
