South Korea's foreign-player-only casino operator Paradise Co has posted a solid performance for November, recording both year-on-year and month-on-month growth as table games continued to lead the recovery in international visitation.

According to the company's latest filing, November casino revenue reached KRW 80.33bn, an increase of 11.6% compared with the same month last year and 10.6% higher than in October. The improvement marked one of the strongest monthly rebounds of 2025 and reflected steady demand across Paradise's properties in Seoul, Incheon, Busan and Jeju.

Table games once again provided the main uplift. Revenue from table play amounted to KRW 76.35bn, up 13.1% year-on-year and 12.7% month-on-month. Analysts noted that growth in table drop also supported the positive trend, with November drop rising 3.8% year-on-year to KRW 600.72bn.

Machine gaming, however, remained under pressure. Revenue from slots and electronic gaming machines fell 10.5% year-on-year to KRW 3.98bn and was down 18.3% from October. Despite this, the strength of the table segment ensured the company delivered another month of overall expansion.

For the first eleven months of the year, cumulative casino revenue reached KRW 825.68bn, up 10.2% from the same period in 2024. Table games contributed KRW 777.08bn, while machine gaming generated KRW 48.6bn.

Paradise City in Incheon remained the group's largest revenue contributor with KRW 441.41bn recorded year to date, an increase of 16.6%. The company's continued growth aligns with South Korea's broader tourism rebound, supported by rising arrivals from Japan and Southeast Asia.

November's results reinforce a consistent upward trajectory for Paradise Co as it enters the final month of the year with strong table play, stable visitation and a competitive position within the foreigner-only gaming sector.
