Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Aristocrat fiscal 2025 profit tops $1 billion

AGBrief Editorial -
Maintaining your status as a global gaming giant can be challenging. But that hasn’t seemed to be an issue for Aristocrat, as its latest fiscal year results show that it achieved a whopping $1 billion in profit. Strategic moves, highly in-demand cabinets, social gaming, and strategic thinking are pushing the company towards more gains, with much invested in R&D. Looking to the Philippines, GGR was virtually flat during the third quarter, with significant drops in casino revenue, while e-Games continued to show growth, despite the pressure from legislative and commercial changes.
