Solverde’s five casinos recorded positive results in 2025, even in the year marked by the controversy over the Spinumviva case, in which the prime minister’s family company was a client of the Violas group.
In Espinho, revenues increased by 5.3%, totaling 31.5 million euros. In Chaves, growth was 8.6%, reaching 7 million euros, while the three casinos in the Algarve (Vilamoura, Praia da Rocha and Monte Gordo) had an increase of 2%, totaling 24.8 million euros.

The main contribution to this drop was from the Estoril casino, which recorded a loss of almost 15% in revenue, falling to just over 33 million euros.
