Key Points
H1 turnover increased 3% to €240.4m
Net Gaming Revenue rose 2.5% to €190m
Parisian Club opened in May after gaming clubs secured a clearer regulatory footing

Groupe Partouche reported first-half 2026 turnover of €240.4m ($278.2m), up 3% year-on-year, as growth in table games and the opening of its new Parisian Club offset weaker slot machine performance in France.

Net Gaming Revenue reached €190m, an increase of 2.5%, while first-half Gross Gaming Revenue rose 2.6% to €371.1m. 

The operator has not yet reported first-half 2026 EBITDA or net income, with income figures scheduled for release on 30 June.

Second-quarter turnover increased 2.5% to €109.5m. French GGR grew 1.6% to €163.1m, although slot machine GGR fell 1.7% following the closure of the Berck casino on 1 January 2026.  

Table games rose 14.8% to €37.3m, supported by Annemasse, Divonne, St Amand-les-Eaux and La Tour-de-Salvagny.

The figures continue a pattern established in 2025, when renovations at Annemasse, Divonne and La Tour-de-Salvagny contributed to stronger venue performance. 

Groupe Partouche’s 2024/2025 annual results showed turnover of €460.2m, EBITDA of €94.4m and net income of €52.7m.

The Parisian Club opened on 12 May at Avenue de La Grande Armée, near the Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe. 

The venue operates under Paris’s gaming-club framework, rather than as a casino, as casinos remain prohibited within 100 kilometres of the capital under long-standing French rules.

Paris gaming clubs received firmer legal status in early 2026 after a period of disruption caused by legislative delays. The sector had faced temporary closures in 2025, affecting around 1,200 full-time workers and operators with high fixed costs. 

Abroad, Q2 GGR rose 4.5% to €18.9m. Online gaming increased 26.0% to €7.1m, while the Cotonou casino in Benin continued to grow following its January 2025 opening.

Groupe Partouche previously reported full-year 2025 GGR of €748.3m, with growth linked to renovated French casinos and refinancing measures.
