Jeju Dream Tower Casino Revenue Rises 62% in 2025
Jeju Dream Tower delivered a strong rebound in casino revenue in 2025, as foreign visitor numbers continued to recover and gaming demand returned to more normal levels across North Asia.
The foreigner-only casino resort on Jeju Island reported KRW476.6 billion (approximately US$368 million) in casino sales for the full year, representing a 61.8% increase compared with 2024. The property, operated by Lotte Tour Development, remains the largest integrated resort in South Korea and one of the most closely watched casino assets in the country.
Casino growth during the year was driven overwhelmingly by table games. Table revenue accounted for the vast majority of gaming turnover, reflecting both higher visitation and stronger spending by foreign customers as international travel continued to normalise. Slot machine revenue also increased year on year, although it remained a relatively small portion of overall casino income, underscoring the property’s continued reliance on table play.
Monthly performance showed some fluctuation toward the end of the year. In December, casino sales declined compared with November levels, suggesting a degree of seasonal softening. However, December revenue was still significantly higher than the same month in 2024, indicating that the broader recovery trend remains intact rather than signalling a slowdown in underlying demand.
While casino operations posted strong gains, non-gaming performance told a more mixed story. Hotel revenue declined slightly over the full year, highlighting an uneven recovery across different parts of the business. Although occupancy and room rates improved toward the end of 2025, hotel operations did not match the pace of growth seen on the gaming floor.
Jeju Dream Tower’s results mirror a wider regional pattern. Foreigner-only casinos across North Asia have benefited from the gradual return of international tourism, particularly from key source markets, while domestic travel and non-gaming spend have recovered at a slower rate. This divergence continues to shape the financial profiles of integrated resorts in the region.
As reviewed by iGaming News Today, Jeju Dream Tower’s 2025 performance underscores the renewed strength of foreign-led casino demand in North Asia. At the same time, it highlights the ongoing challenge for integrated resorts to achieve a balanced recovery across gaming and non-gaming segments as the regional tourism landscape continues to stabilise.
