While the Suncity casino resort is set to open this year in Manila, it has been delayed due to an arrest warrant issued by Chinese law enforcement. The Chinese government is accusing Chau and his co-founder, Zhang Ningning, of being part of a cross-border gambling group. As a result, the Philippines has yet to see a Suncity casino. However, the casino is still expected to open this year. Nonetheless, the company is looking to expand its business.
The Philippine Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) is investigating the Suncity Group, which owns the Manila-based casino. The group is under investigation because it is not a licensed gambling organization. According to Pagcor, the casino does not have a license from the regulator to operate at Sofitel Philippine Plaza. The 'bet small and win big' feature has been an attractive feature of the new casino. In addition, the company has a welcome bonus program of up to P50,000.
The casino's business model is predicated on catering to wealthy Chinese gamblers. Although it has never faced a major government infringement case, it does risk being in the PRC's crosshairs if it does not make enough effort to comply with the law. In order to avoid any such issue, the company is making every effort to improve its compliance record. Its latest news release has also highlighted its efforts to be more transparent and accountable.
As a result of the scandal, many South African casino operators have seen their revenues plummet. The influx of Chinese tourists has made gambling illegal in the country, but the casino industry has thrived and become a tourist destination in Northern China. NagaCorp is expected to enter the market and expand its network of casinos in the city. The new gambling hub is expected to serve a wider market than it did before. In addition to this, the resort offers luxury hotels and adventure activities for visitors.
Suncity is a diversified leisure business that also has a food & beverage division. In addition to the casino, the company operates several restaurant brands and VIP gaming rooms in several countries. Moreover, it has signed a consultancy agreement with Golden Sun Sky, which is aiming to build an integrated resort in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The project will serve the entire region, including Thailand and Southern China. Additionally, the casino will be a major tourist attraction in the region.
The casino development in Manila is part of a larger resort complex called Westside City. The property has an estimated US$700 million price tag. The casino floor will be 473 square feet and include 400 gaming tables and 1,200 slot machines. The casino will also feature a pool club and a leisure club. The Suncity group is hoping to open the new resort in early 2023. The development is scheduled to be completed by 2020.
