Such revenue was approximately KRW52.19 billion (US$49.5 million), compared to about KRW38.97 billion in March last year.

Paradise Co’s machine revenue jumped 18.9 percent in March this year, to KRW3.44 billion.
No commentary on the reasons for year-on-year revenue fluctuations is given in the company’s monthly updates.
For the first quarter of 2018, Paradise Co’s aggregate casino revenue was up 19.9 percent from the prior-year period, to approximately KRW149.37 billion.
Table revenue for the calendar year to March 31 increased 19.3 percent year-on-year, to about KRW138.57 billion. Machine revenue for the first three months this year was up 26.8 percent, to nearly KRW10.80 billion.
Table drop – the amount of cash exchanged for chips by customers at the table – for the first quarter of 2018 rose 20.0 percent year-on-year, to just over KRW1.36 trillion.
