Conclusions

Italy is a market with a pronounced local specificity. Besides the familiar European classics like Book of Dead, Italian providers often appear on the showcases (Arancita, Octavian, Giocaonline), which are almost never found outside the country.

The market is slot-based and fragmented — crashes are almost absent in the tops + even the most popular titles are found in less than half of the operators.
