The July results cap a strong seven-month period for GKL, with cumulative casino sales from January through July reaching KRW248.85 billion ($185.4 million), a 17.5 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024. Table game revenue for the first seven months rose 18.2 percent year-on-year to KRW226.75 billion ($169 million), while machine game sales increased by an identical 18.2 percent to KRW22.1 billion ($16.4 million).
