Partouche Casinos: the wheel turns well

Strongly set up on the French Riviera (Carlton Casino Club and Palm Beach in Cannes, Casino Eden and Garden Beach in Juan, casino in Beaulieu), the Partouche group has announced a good operating income for the first six months of the year. Thus, figures are increasing by 34.8% to 40.9 million euros. For all of the group's casinos, the gross product of games was up to 211.2 million euros on April 30th 2001, increasing by 13.2% compared to the first six months of the previous year. Such an increase is partly explained by the broadening of the slot machines park: 2.299 as against 2.259.
