February 1, 2021 French casino operator Groupe Partouche has reportedly announced that its aggregated gross gaming revenues for the twelve months to the end of October declined by some 21.8% year-on-year to €525.7 million ($635 million) as a direct result of ongoing coronavirus pandemic. According to a report from G3Newswire, the Paris-headquartered firm is responsible for some 40 casinos spread across France including the 3.14 Casino in Cannes as well as the ‘outdoor’ Casino de La Ciotat just east of Marseille. However, the source detailed that the company’s business was seriously disrupted last year as a pair of coronavirus-related lockdowns kept all of its domestic venues shuttered for almost 21 weeks.
