This desk read the February, April and August briefs on 15 October 2026; May and September are as Asia Gaming Brief reported them. No March, June or July figure was read in a page body, and none is derived.

Every sourced GKL month sits below March’s KRW49.5bn, the low in the Paradise Co table.

What is GKL’s casino hold rate?

AGBrief put September hold at 11.5%, against 9.1% in August, on drop of KRW323.72bn. Drop fell from August, so September’s 19.8% sales rise came from a higher hold, not more volume. Third-quarter sales were KRW110.07bn. Hold swings month to month, so one month’s rate is a weak guide.

How much did GKL make in casino sales in 2026?

KRW337.24bn over the first nine months, up 5.8% year on year while drop rose 9.5%, per AGBrief. That is casino sales, not profit, and filing figures as trade press reported them, not audited results. Asia Gaming Brief reported KRW189.97bn for the five months to May.

How many casinos does GKL operate?

Three foreigner-only casinos under the Seven Luck brand, two in Seoul and one in Busan, per iGamingToday’s August brief. Being foreigner-only, the monthly numbers track inbound visitor play rather than domestic demand. The April and August figures came from Korea Exchange filings, per iGamingToday; February’s from a company filing.
