Melco: Last Man Standing in Cyprus Macau-based operator Melco International is now the only operator left in the
race for the Cypriot casino concession following a decision by Cambodia operator NagaCorp to pull out of the bidding process
NagaCorp and Bloombery withdraw from Cyprus licence tender as land-owners effectively priced them out of the market
CYRPUS CASINO LICENCES
Cyprus licence-bidder, NagaCorp, the operator of Phnom Penh’s NagaWorld casino, said in a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange: “After careful review and given all the latest information available to us, the company will not be participating in the Request For Proposal and the decision made is in the best interest of our shareholders and the company.”
Te decision follows an identical move by Bloomberry who operates Solaire in the Philippines with the cost and difficulty of securing land believed to be at the root of both companies pulling out. NagaCorp and Bloomberry has both been given extra time to submit their final proposals with a three month extension being granted from the initial deadline of July 5. Tey said that their proposals had been delayed due to the state bureaucracy involved in land acquisition.
Reports suggested that the bidders that had withdrawn had failed to find suitable and affordable land, which is plausible, given how land prices rocketed as soon as owners realised the buyer would be a casino company. And if
GVC joins forces with Scientific Games to boost engagement
UK
GVC has struck a deal with Scientific Games Corporation’s WMS studio to supply its online casino content to the Group’s Spanish and Belgium gaming sites.
Te new games, which will be offered through the bwin, partycasino and partypoker brands, will see in excess of twenty titles added to GVC’s portfolio, another significant upgrade as the Group continues to expand and improve its casino line-up in regulated markets.
Popular slots within the WMS stable include Rainbow Riches, Tai Flower and Spartacus Gladiator of Rome themes, all of which - and many more - will now be available to GVC’s players in Spain and Belgium.
the land required was in a coastal area prices would have been prohibitive. Perhaps this was inevitable given the government’s plans for a large-scale resort with many other attractions; with the government only interested in an investment of half a billion euros.
Te key to Melco international securing land lies with the fact that one of its partners Cyprus Phasouri Limited already has plenty of available land on the island. Te decisions by NagaCorp and Bloomberry leave Melco in a strong negotiating position. So will the single bidder be able to lower the price for the licence? Cyprus’ Finance Ministry has categorically denied that’s the case, pointing our in the tenders specs that the final proposal cannot deviate by more than five per cent from the original bid. And what if the successful bidder insists on a 10 or 20 per cent reduction on the original proposals? Would the government be prepared to scrap the procedure and start from scratch delaying the start of the project, currently scheduled for the first half of 2017, for another two years? A history of climbdowns under pressure would suggest that Melco holds all the cards right now.
Te new content will be fully integrated into GVC’s gaming platform over the coming weeks.
Liron Snir, GVC’s Chief Product Officer said:“We are really pleased to be able to offer WMS award-winning content to even more of our customers. Tis is another big step forward for us in building a best-in- class casino for our players, wherever they may be.”
Bob Hays, Vice President Commercial, Interactive at Scientific Games, added:“We’re excited that GVC has selected us to provide games in Belgium and Spain with the initial release of twenty SG Interactive titles across desktop and mobile.
“Tis is a fantastic opportunity to deepen our existing relationship with GVC, carrying our strong partnership forward into new markets. We look forward to rolling out more content in the near future."
