(South Korea).-GKL a South Korean operator of casinos exclusively for foreigners, reported a sharp year-on-year increase of 102.8% in its July casino sales, reaching KRW 38.99 billion (approximately $29 million), according to a filing with the Korea Exchange on Tuesday.
The surge represents the strongest monthly performance for the company, with month-over-month growth of 12 percent from June.

Machine game revenue contributed additional growth to the overall tally, rising 36.9 percent year-on-year to KRW3.65 billion ($2.7 million). Monthly machine sales increased 13.6 percent from the previous month, indicating broad-based strength across all gaming categories.
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).
GKL operates three foreigner-only casinos in South Korea under the Seven Luck brand, with two locations in Seoul and one in Busan.
