Japan – Mohegan Gaming evaluating Japanese options after Hokkaido exit
By 필 -9 년 2019 월 XNUMX 일
Having recently opened an office in in the city of Tomakomai in the Hokkaido prefecture, Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment has been hit more than most following Governor Naomichi Suzuki decision to pull Hokkaido from the race for a Japanese IR.
In a statement, Mohegan CEO Mario Kontomerkos said: “We are evaluating our options regarding Hokkaido. Although the outcome is not what we had hoped for, we understand the position of Governor Suzuki and respect his judgment regarding IR development in Hokkaido. We are especially grateful for the warm hospitality shown to us by the people of Hokkaido, our partners and our friends. We will continue to elevate the global integrated resort concept in Northern Asia via our Inspire development in South Korea, and we remain committed to the broader region.”
일본 본토 최북단에 위치한 홋카이도가 스즈키 나오미치 지사가 환경평가에 최대 3년이 걸릴 것으로 보인다며 환경 문제를 언급하면서 복합리조트(IR) 건설 입찰을 포기했다.
스즈키 지사는 “신중한 검토 결과, IR 입찰을 시도하고 싶다는 결론에 도달했습니다. 그러나 후보 부지는 희귀 동식물의 서식지일 가능성이 높으며 적절한 환경 고려 사항이 있습니다. 제한된 일정으로는 불가능할 것입니다.”
As well as Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, Rush Street Japan and Hard Rock International had also set up offices in Hokkaido.
Japanese tourism company Kamori Kanko, once the biggest operator of ski resorts in the US, had also confirmed it wants to bring a casino to its ambitious vision for a regional integrated resort in Hokkaido’s Rusutsu Village, located in the Shiribeshi sub-prefecture in Hokkaido.
