Paradise Co delivered a standout operational performance in April, posting casino revenue of KRW87.9 billion (US$60.4 million), representing an 80.6% month-on-month increase and 30.7% year-on-year growth. The South Korean operator’s results point to a particularly strong showing in table games, where revenue momentum significantly outpaced the modest growth in underlying player turnover.

Table Games Fuel the Expansion

Here’s where the story gets interesting. Table drop climbed just 7.0% from March to KRW652.1 billion (US$451 million), yet table game revenue surged 89.9% month-on-month to KRW82.2 billion (US$56.8 million). That disconnect tells you everything. Paradise’s operators extracted stronger margins from their table offerings during the month, which points to improved hold rates across the board.

Year-on-year, table revenue rose 29.1%, consolidating the gains made throughout the first quarter. The segment now accounts for the overwhelming majority of Paradise’s casino output, reinforcing its positioning as a table-games-focused business.

Machines Contribute Supporting Growth

Electronic gaming machines provided a secondary growth driver, albeit at a considerably more modest pace. Machine revenue climbed 59.7% year-on-year and 5.8% month-on-month to KRW5.73 billion (US$4.0 million). Whilst the segment remains considerably smaller than tables, it underscores broad-based strength across Paradise’s gaming verticals.

Wider Portfolio Performing Solidly

Paradise’s operational network spans three domestic casinos in Seoul, Busan, and Jeju, alongside a 55% controlling stake in Paradise City, the integrated resort co-developed with Japan’s Sega Sammy Holdings. The company’s year-to-date profit through April reached KRW316.8 billion (US$219 million), up 8.2% from the same period in 2025, confirming a sustained upward trajectory despite the April spike’s outsized nature.

These results suggest favourable operating conditions and robust market demand for premium table gaming in South Korea. The company offered no detailed commentary on what drove the performance, but the numbers speak clearly enough. April represented the kind of breakout month that resets baseline expectations for the remainder of the year.
