Sisal is the private company that introduced
betting games in Italy and based on these developed the contemporary market for
gaming, gaming offices and betting slips. As the concessionaire of the Ministry
of Finance for the management of games and services, Sisal earned for the State
the greatest revenues at the lowest possible cost. In 1946, it invented the
Sisal game (later called Totocalcio) and in 1948, it introduced Totip, the only
horse race betting, whose popularity did much to promote horse race betting. In
1991, Sisal offered Tris betting in its offices to enormous success.
In
1997, Sisal devised a new formula for the Enalotto lottery and proposed it to
the Ministry of Finance. Thus was born SuperEnalotto, a media phenomenon and a
popular hit without precedent.
In 2000, it obtained the concession to
manage Formula 101, a tote bet on Formula 1 world auto racing.
As requested
from UNIRE and the actual operator, starting from the 4th November 2002, you
can find TRIS in all Sisal's OTB's. (Offtrack-betting- shops)
At present
Sisal has a network of 18,000 betting points with 20,000 state-of-the-art
on-line terminals, through which it collects approximately EUR 2.582.284.495,45
for games, of which EUR 1.032.913.798,18 go to the State.
