Foreigner-only casino operator Grand Korea Leisure (GKL) continued its recent surge in July, with casino revenue more than doubling year-on-year to KRW39.0 billion (US$28.1 million), also representing a 12.0% improvement over June.
The solid numbers echo similar growth being experienced across the sector, with both Paradise Co and Lotte Tour also reporting rising revenues in recent days.
GKL’s July figures included an 11.9% increase in table games revenue to KRW35.3 billion (US$25.5 million) and a 13.6% increase in machine revenue to KRW3.65 billion (US$2.63 million).
This came on the back of a 12.8% year-on-year increase in drop amount to KRW339.2 billion (US$245 million). Table drop was also 11.6% higher on a sequential basis.
Casino revenue for the first seven months of 2025 combined sits at KRW248.9 billion (US$179 million), up 17.5% on the same period last year.
GKL operates three casinos in South Korea in Seoul and Busan under the Seven Luck brand.
