The company shared the figures in a filing released on Thursday. It attributed the overall gain to a strong start to the year, followed by a weaker June.
June Revenue Declines
June revenue came in at KRW63.2 billion, or US$40.7 million. That total was down 21.2% from June last year and 35.6% lower than May.
The company did not explain the reason for the drop. No further details were given in the filing.
Casino drop, which measures total customer wagering activity, reached KRW641.1 billion, or US$413 million, in June. That figure was up 10.3% year-over-year but down 16.2% from the prior month.
The drop numbers suggest customers kept playing even as revenue softened. Paradise said it recorded year-over-year gains in four of the six months so far this year.
That trend helped balance out the weaker June result. It also supported the overall first-half total staying above last year’s figure.
