Bord na gCon has informed me that it will be reporting a 6.5% increase in Tote operating profits for the six months to 30 June 2016 when compared to the first six months in 2015.

I understand from Bord na gCon that this improved profitability is as a result of Bord na gCon securing a number of contracts during the latter part of 2015. These contracts have broadened the Tote customer base to a wider international wagering audience.
