L'évolution de l'offre

Qu’est-ce qui caractérise aujourd’hui l’offre de la Française des Jeux ?

C’est une offre équilibrée entre jeux de tirage, de grattage, de points de vente et de paris sportifs.

L'activité en 2010 de la FDJ s'est répartie entre les jeux de grattage (41% de l'activité), les jeux de tirage (33%), les jeux de points de vente (15%) et les paris sportifs (11%)
==============
in my text, before they said: on entend par jeux d’argent payants tout système de jeux payants en point de vente permettant de gagner de l’argent

As you know you can play a jeux de grattage "en point de vente." So what is a "jeux de points de vente"?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Well, I think the problem starts not with the term, but how they wrote the text then. It is not clear to me what distinction they are making. Maybe they meant the games you can play at the point of sale, even though they also exist on the Internet. That would make sense."

Just to throw into the mix. As opposed to Internet gambling.

point-of-sale lottery

The word "jeux" here does not mean games but lottery. The text describes different forms of participating in the lottery. One of the forms is the point-of-sale lottery. The first example below is from a patent description of a technology of point-of-sale lottery; the second is from the first company that used this method in France.
Example sentence:

Card-activated point-of-sale lottery terminal

Au début, seule la région parisienne avait des points de vente
