CIRSA Delivers 12% Q3 Revenue Growth with Casino Acquisitions in Paraguay and Colombia

Operating profit rose 6.8%, marking the group's 73rd consecutive quarter of growth. Adjusted for costs tied to its proposed merger with Lottomatica, operating profit grew 11.1% to €203m.

For the first nine months of 2026, revenue advanced 10% and operating profit rose 7.8%. The Spain-based gaming and leisure group expects to finish the year at the upper end of its guidance range, according to G3 Newswire.

Casino Division Extends Footprint Through Acquisitions and Upgrades

The casino division entered Paraguay via the acquisition of two casinos and two gaming halls. It opened a casino at the Serrezuela shopping centre in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Upgrades were completed at the Dorado and Colón casinos in Panama and at Casino de Lloret in Spain.

Slot offerings at Casino de Marbella expanded by more than 30 machines. These steps add capacity and modernize existing sites in established and new jurisdictions. The actions align with the division's pattern of targeted entry paired with incremental investment.

Preparations for Lottomatica Merger Continue on Schedule

CIRSA will hold an extraordinary general meeting on 30 November to advance the proposed merger with Italy’s Lottomatica. The adjusted profit metric isolates one-time costs linked to the transaction. The underlying growth trajectory remains intact despite those expenses.

The 73 straight quarters of profit expansion supply a consistent base as the corporate structure evolves. Market participants will track execution of the newly acquired Paraguayan assets and the Colombian opening for evidence of integration speed.
