The operator cited the success of the new Casino de Pornic in Loire-Atlantique which it transferred from its previous site in November 2018 after an investment of €10m,a s being key to its growth. The new venue saw its gaming revenues up by 53.4 per cent Abroad, online games and sports betting continued their strong growth in Belgium up by €3.1m.
The opening in early April of the casino of Aix-en-Provence in Bouches-du-Rhone after a renovation that lasted 18 months, without closure, should also soon be translated into the company’s figures. The Pasino becomes the Pasino Grand, an innovative digital complex, dedicated to entertainment and leisure. This unique gaming experience has developed around a collaboration with Moment Factory, a Canadian multimedia studio specialising in the design and production of immersive environments, which has created four new generation game design spaces.
