Japonsko – starosta Osaky hovorí, že COVID-19 odložil potenciálne spustenie IR až do roku 2027

If the Japanese city of Osaka wins one of the three coveted Integrated Resort casino licences it won’t be ready to open it until at least 2027, maybe even 2028.
Officials in Osaka want to build a casino on the artificial island of Yumeshima in Osaka Bay.

The admittance came from Osaka Mayor Ichiro Matsui who blamed the coronavirus pandemic for the two year delay. The government had hoped to have a casino fully operational by start of the 2025 World Expo.

The pandemic delayed meetings between Osaka’s candidate consortium, MGM Resorts Japan and Orix.

Mayor Matsui said: “I have received a message from the operator asking for a short extension. The investment capacity of the operator has taken a blow, and we will consider this when we are determining an opening time. I can foresee an overall delay of between one and two years. We think the central government is considering extending the application period (for local governments).”

Genting Singapore aj Galaxy Entertainment sa stiahli zo súťaže o licenciu IR kasína v Osake, takže spoločnosť MGM Resorts a jej miestny partner Orix zostávajú v jedinej pozícii, ak vláda prefektúry Osaka získa licenciu.

Las Vegas Sands, Melco Resorts & Entertainment a Wynn Resorts už predtým opustili preteky v Osake, aby sa namiesto toho zamerali na potenciálne projekty v Jokohame.
Galaxy a jej partner Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer nedávno dokončili komplexnú žiadosť o predloženie konceptu (RFC) a štúdiu uskutočniteľnosti podnikania v Osake predtým, ako sa rozhodli odstúpiť.
