UK casino and leisure operator Rank Group saw revenues from its Grosvenor Casinos business increase 5.8 per cent during the first six months of the year.
The firm, which remains a listed entity despite a recent takeover by the Guoco Group, revealed that overall revenues rose 4.6 per cent to £294m, with its casinos arm contributing £123.4m thanks to an increase in customers and customer visits.
Grosvenor’s operating profits rose 14.8 per cent to £20.2m.
Rank chairman Ian Burke said the company had maintained the progress of recent years due to rising customer numbers.
"We have a portfolio of some of the strongest brands in UK gaming and the ability to reach our customers through our estate of well-invested venues, our high quality websites and increasingly via mobile channels."
The company is now planning to focus on the crossover opportunities between its land-based and online gaming brands.
