Korea’s leading foreigner-only casino operator, Paradise Co, reported a 626.3% year-on-year increase in income attributable to owners of the company to KRW34.21 billion during the three months to 30 September 2019, driven by a 30.4% rise in sales.
Paradise Co said its sales for the period reached KRW274.38 billion in 3Q19, with income up from KRW4.71 billion in 3Q18 and from a loss of KRW2.06 billion in the previous quarter.
But the news wasn’t so good for Grand Korea Leisure – the government-run foreigners-only casino operator – where net profit attributable to shareholders fell 4.1% year-on-year to KRW25.29 billion. That’s despite sales showing a slight 2.3% increase to KRW133.36 billion.
Net profit for the nine months through September 2019 is down 23.7% to KRW54.08 billion.
