The Spain-based gaming and leisure group said operating profit increased 6.8 per cent during the quarter, marking its 73rd consecutive quarter of growth. Adjusted for costs associated with its proposed merger with Lottomatica, operating profit rose 11.1 per cent to €203m.

For the first nine months of 2026, revenue advanced 10 per cent while operating profit increased 7.8 per cent. CIRSA said it expects to finish the year at the upper end of its guidance range.

Its casino division entered Paraguay through the acquisition of two casinos and two gaming halls, while also opening a casino at the Serrezuela shopping centre in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. The group further completed upgrades at its Dorado and Colón casinos in Panama and Casino de Lloret in Spain, and expanded the slot offer at Casino de Marbella by more than 30 machines.

CIRSA will hold an extraordinary general meeting on 30 November to advance its proposed merger with Italy’s Lottomatica.
