Gaming sector a safe bet

THE Toto jackpot drama last week has drawn some attention to the gaming sector, which involves players such as Genting Bhd and subsidiary Genting Malaysia Bhd (GenM), who are no longer part of the number forecast operator (NFO) business.

Four punters shared the RM121mil jackpot after it shot up almost RM30mil in three days following publicity in the media. That euphoria has thrown up some interesting observations about the behaviour of the public who endured long queues, and sometimes fights, to try their luck at Sports Toto Bhd outlets.
