Star Vegas delivered net revenue of A$25.67 million (FY23: A$19.92m) and EBITDA of A$16.67 million (FY23: A$10.82m). Star Vegas recorded a substantial uplift in non-gaming revenue; while average daily visitation remained stable compared to the prior year.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to A$29.30 million from the prior year’s A$16.72 million as a result of robust financial management.

Donaco’s Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Porntat Amatavivadhana, commented:

“FY24 was a period of solid growth and financial performance for Donaco, as the Company continued to streamline its operations and attract more visitors. The success of local government initiatives aimed at boosting international tourism greatly benefitted our performance, leading to notable increases in visitation and gaming turnover, with Aristo significantly surpassing last year’s results.

While we are very pleased by the latest results and remain committed to executing our strategy, we are currently evaluating potential disruptors such as the proposed Integrated Entertainment Business Act in Thailand and the separate Aristo tax audit, as we navigate Southeast Asia's evolving gaming landscape.”
