(South Korea).- Casino sales in February at Grand Korea Leisure Co Ltd (GKL), an operator in South Korea of foreigner-only casinos, increased by 71.9 percent month-on-month, to KRW33.68 billion (US$25.3 million), the company said in a Monday filing to the Korea Exchange. The latest monthly tally was down 8.4 percent from the prior-year period.
In February, table-game sales were nearly KRW31.19 billion, up 88.9 percent sequentially, but a decline of 9.1 percent from a year ago.
Machine-game sales were nearly KRW2.5 billion, down 19.2 percent sequentially but up slightly by 1.6 percent from a year ago.

Grand Korea Leisure runs three foreigner-only Seven Luck-branded casinos: two in the capital Seoul, including in Gangnam (pictured), and one in the southeastern port city of Busan.
The company is a subsidiary of the Korea Tourism Organization, which in turn is affiliated to the country’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
