The Partouche casino group saw its turnover increase by 4.1% in the third quarter of its staggered 2022-2023 financial year, thanks to an increase in attendance at its establishments.
Between May and July 2023, the second largest French casino operator (behind the Barrière group), with 41 establishments operated and 3,900 employees, recorded a turnover of 105.1 million euros. “We see that there is really a renewed desire to have fun and take your mind off things, to go to places where we do our best to have a good time.», Commented to AFP, Fabrice Paire, chairman of the management board of the Partouche group. He judges the progress of the activity “satisfactory», especially since the basis of comparison has returned to normal: it was until then complicated by the obligation to present a “vaccination pass” to go to the casino until spring 2022, which had discouraged certain customers.
