Industry reporting highlighted the significance of this expansion<\/strong>. An IGB report said: \u201cGroupe Partouche posted a 5.3 per cent year-on-year increase<\/strong> in gross gaming revenue during its Q3, helped by the addition<\/strong> of two more properties to its land-based casino portfolio.\u201d The report added: \u201cThe operator noted the recent opening of a new casino in Benin in West Africa.<\/strong> Casino Partouche Cotonou commenced operations<\/strong> in January 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Located within the Sofitel Cotonou Marina Hotel and Spa, Casino Partouche Cotonou features 31 slot machines <\/strong>and 10 table games, including roulette<\/strong>, blackjack and poker variants. The venue is designed as a luxury entertainment <\/strong>destination, catering to international visitors, business travellers and high-end players<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the Benin casino is just one element of Groupe Partouche\u2019s international <\/strong>portfolio, the group\u2019s results show growing contributions from markets outside France. International slot revenue rose 63 per cent year-on-year to \u20ac10.1m, while online gaming<\/strong> activity in Switzerland<\/strong> increased 19 per cent to \u20ac6.6m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Groupe Partouche\u2019s gross gaming revenue for the Q3 2025 reached \u20ac189m, up from \u20ac179.5m in the same period in 2024, supported by portfolio<\/strong> expansion across domestic and international operations. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n France <\/strong>remained the group\u2019s largest <\/strong>market, generating \u20ac169.1m in GGR, while international activities recorded a 5.6 per cent increase to \u20ac19.9m. For the first nine months of 2025, total revenue <\/strong>reached \u20ac550.5m (4.6 per cent), net gaming revenue rose to \u20ac269.1m (3.9 per cent) and consolidated turnover <\/strong>climbed to \u20ac347.8m, with \u20ac315.0m from casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The launch of Casino Partouche Cotonou signals that Africa is emerging<\/strong> as a strategic<\/strong> market for premium land-based casinos, particularly in West Africa. With European markets increasingly saturated, operators are seeking growth<\/strong> through tourism-led<\/strong>, upscale developments. The Benin project positions the country as a gateway for further casino expansion <\/strong>on the continent, strengthening Africa\u2019s role in the evolving<\/strong> global gaming landscape.<\/p>\n\n\nInternational markets drive strong revenue growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
