It might be the beginning of a new streak of gross gaming revenue (GGR) increases for South Korean casino operator Paradise Co Ltd. The operator reported a return to growth with a 49.5% increase in April, reports GGRAsia.
That number turns out to be KRW57.13 billion ($48.5 million) in GGR, a healthy improvement from the KRW38.21 billion ($32 million) last April.
A bulk of that increase came from table revenue. It increased 50.8% to a total of KRW53.53 billion ($45 million), from KRW35.49 billion ($30 million) in April 2018. Machine table also increased 32.5%, but made up a much smaller portion of total GGR. It went from KRW3.61 billion ($3.1 million), from KRW2.72 billion ($2.3 million) in the prior-year period.
For the year so far, Paradise Co is doing very well. Aggregate casino revenue is reported to be up 17.2% Like April’s numbers, that’s mostly off the back of table games, with machine games making up a percentage of the total gross.
