South Korea-based Paradise Co Ltd, a leading operator of foreigner-only casinos, revealed that its December 2025 casino sales reached approximately KRW 75.42 billion (US$52.1 million), marking a 7.6 % year-on-year increase, according to a regulatory filing with the Korea Exchange. While the December figure declined slightly 5.4 % sequentially from November, the overall annual performance remained strong. Paradise Co’s full-year 2025 casino sales climbed about 9.9 % over 2024, demonstrating sustained growth in a competitive market environment.

Breaking out the monthly figures, table-game sales in December contributed KRW 69.84 billion, up 5.2 % from the prior-year period but down 7.8 % from November, whereas machine-game sales surged nearly 49.3 % year-on-year, reflecting increased player interest in electronic gaming products. The company’s December “table drop” — representing the total amounts wagered by patrons — rose 11.4 % compared with a year earlier, signaling healthy engagement despite seasonal fluctuations. 

Paradise Co operates several prominent casino venues across South Korea, including the integrated resort Paradise City in Incheon (operated with Sega Sammy Holdings Inc), as well as facilities in Seoul (Walkerhill), Busan, and Jeju Island. These locations have benefitted from continued demand from international visitors, with table-games historically accounting for the bulk of gaming revenue. 

Industry observers note that the company’s annual growth of nearly 10 % in total casino sales for 2025 aligns with broader trends of recovery within Asia’s gaming sector, where operators are increasingly focusing on diversified offerings and enhanced customer experiences. Prior reporting indicated that Paradise Co had achieved similar year-on-year increases throughout 2025, reflecting a wider upward trajectory in casino revenues before year-end results were published.
