Company Overview
Company Overview
Tatts Group Limited (TTS) is a provider of leisure and entertainment products and services in the gaming and lotteries segments of the Australian gambling industry and has investments in a number of overseas businesses.
Company History
TTS originated in 1881 when its founder George Adams organised a public sweep on the Sydney Cup horse race. In 1897, TTS began operating the first government-endorsed lottery in Australia and in 1954, it secured the Victorian state lottery. In 1992, TTS diversified into operating gaming machines in VIC. Since 1999, it has been expanding its global investment operations. In May 2005, TTS was restructured to facilitate public listing. In 2006, it successfully merged with UniTAB via a share swap.
Differentiating Factor
TTS' three key businesses operate in near monopolies. TTS has the monopoly to operate lotteries in Victoria, Tasmania, Qld and NT, while it shares the Canberra lotteries. The addition of UTB means TTS now has a dominant position in the Queensland wagering market. TTS will also continue to maintain its duopoly position in the Victorian gaming market until 2012 when the new licensing regime is enacted.
Major Customers & Competitors
TTS' customers are punters who play poker machines in pubs and hotels, punt on the horses or buy lottery tickets. These customers are concentrated in Victoria and Queensland, with only 15% of lotteries revenues derived from Tasmania, NT and ACT. TTS' key competitors are Tabcorp and Crown, which are the other key gaming licence holders in the Victorian market. Other state-owned lotteries provide limited competition, as they only operate in their respective jurisdictions.
