Paradise Co Sees 30% Surge in Casino Revenues for August

In the ever-evolving landscape of the South Korean gaming industry, Paradise Co has stolen the spotlight with impressive growth figures for August 2024. The foreigner-only casino operator announced a remarkable 30% increase in casino revenues, a surge that underscores its robust performance in both table and machine games. Such growth is no minor feat and draws attention from industry watchers and gaming enthusiasts alike.

Frank Schuengel, a veteran in the online gambling industry and a prominent voice in the sector, highlights Paradise Co’s achievement as a testament to the company’s successful operational strategies. In August, casino sales reached KRW80.18 billion (approximately $59.91 million), a notable rise both month-on-month and year-on-year. This surge was primarily fueled by the gaming table category, which alone witnessed a 32.1% increase to KRW75.5 billion ($56.41 million). Machine game revenues also contributed to the growth, marking a 5.7% increase.

The August performance highlights an increase in the table drop, the total cash exchanged for chips, reaching KRW667.5 billion ($498.78 million). This reflects a significant 23.1% rise from July and a 16.9% boost compared to the same period last year. These figures paint a promising picture of Paradise Co’s operational success and market positioning, sustaining its upward trajectory throughout 2024.

From a year-to-date perspective, Paradise Co has reported a cumulative revenue growth of 14.3% for the first eight months of 2024, totaling KRW561.1 billion ($419.28 million). A significant contributor to this favorable outcome is the 17.8% increase in the table drop, now standing at KRW4.64 trillion ($3.46 billion). This rise is further bolstered by the performance of its renowned establishments such as Walkerhill, Jeju, Incheon Paradise City, and Busan Casino, reinforcing Paradise Co’s footprint in the South Korean gaming market.

Paradise Co’s success in capturing a larger share of the casino market in August points to meticulous planning and adaptation to market needs. As interest in gaming continues to grow, the company is strategically positioned to leverage its strengths and capitalize on new opportunities within the sector. With dedicated leadership and a clear vision for future growth, Paradise Co is poised to remain a key player in South Korea’s gaming industry, getting closer to its long-term ambitions.
