Table game sales fell 4.9 percent sequentially from January to 15.38 billion won last month, compared with the same period a year earlier, according to data submitted to the Korea Exchange on Wednesday.
Machine game sales fell 13.6% month-on-month to nearly 1.7 billion won. Such sales fell 17.7% year-on-year.
FEBRUARY TABLE DROPPED – Customer paid to purchase chips at table was KRW 105.38 billion, down 14.6% in January and 11.5% in February 2021.
The figures are based on Walkerhill in Seoul, Jeju Grand on Jeju Island, Paradise City in Incheon – run through Japan’s Sega Sami Holdings Inc. and ventures – and casino divisions in groups including Busan.
From mid-January, all casinos in Korea will be required to ask their customers to confirm that they have completed the COVID-19 vaccination process or have a valid ‘negative’ test result.
Paradise reported good earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by “stable demand” from its customers last month. However, it posted a net loss of 40.12 billion won in the final quarter of 2021, according to the earnings release. 안전 슬롯사이트
