Casino renovations pay off for Groupe Partouche as full-year revenue rises
The French casino operator highlighted the impact of renovation projects at three of its venues.
France.- The French casino operator Groupe Partouche has recorded a 5.1 per cent year-on-year rise in gross gaming revenue (GGR) for its 2025 financial year. Extensive renovation projects at three of its French casinos helped push revenue to €748.3m, up from $712.3m last year.
The operator pointed to the reopening of its upgraded casinos in Annemasse, Divonne and La Tour-de-Salvagny as a key driver. It declared that the investments had “paid off,” with Annemasse revenue climbing 20.9 per cent, Divonne up 17.7 per cent and La Tour-de-Salvagny increasing 15 per cent year-on-year.
Combined domestic revenue from casino operations in France rose 5.2 per cent to €669.4m, with gains across all categories. Slot machines generated €522.6m, up 3.7 per cent, electronic table games rose 10.6 per cent to €86.9m, and non-electronic table games advanced 12 per cent to €59.9m. Attendance across the French casinos grew by 4.9 per cent compared to the prior year.
International operations contributed €78.9m, a 3.5 per cent increase, aided by a €1.4m positive exchange rate effect at the Meyrin casino in Switzerland. Growth was consistent across segments: slot machine revenue rose 3.1 per cent to €40.7m, traditional games 3.8 per cent to €38.2m and Swiss online games 7.9 per cent to €25.4m.
Beyond renovations, Groupe Partouche expanded its footprint with two acquisitions in the past year: Cotonou Casino in Benin in January and Casino Partouche Cannes 50 Croisette in the south of France in February. Excluding these additions, group revenue still grew 3 per cent year-on-year to €734.1m.
Casinos remained the largest contributor, generating €415m, up 6 per cent. Hotels added €31.4m (a 0.8 per cent increase), while other activities brought in €13.8m, up 18.7 per cent.
Levies paid during the year totalled €395.9m, leaving net gaming revenue at €352.4m, a 4 per cent rise. Overall consolidated turnover came in at €460.2m, 6 per cent higher than the previous year.
