GKL

Grand Korea Leisure (GKL) has secured the top position in South Korea’s newest anti–money laundering (AML) evaluation of casino operators, underscoring its strong compliance culture and rigorous internal controls. The assessment highlights the company’s commitment to transparency, responsible operations, and alignment with international financial integrity standards. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies globally, GKL’s performance positions it as a model for risk management and ethical governance within the gaming sector.

South Korea’s state-run casino operator, Grand Korea Leisure Co. (GKL), reported a 6.5% decline in casino revenue for October 2025, reflecting softer table-game performance and reduced player activity. The company’s total gaming revenue stood at KRW 39.75 billion (approximately US$28 million or Rs. 234 crore), underscoring a temporary slowdown after several months of steady recovery. Despite the year-on-year contraction, GKL remains optimistic about long-term growth, citing stable machine-game performance and a rebound in inbound tourism.
