Philippines.- The first phase of expansion at the Widus Hotel and Casino complex in the Philippines will cost PHP12billion (US$235.2million).

The Widus Group, owner and developer of the project in the Clark Freeport Zone, confirmed the figures in an email to GGRAsia.

The group will rebrand the integrated resort to the Hann Casino Resort upon completion, under the tagline ‘Play Bold. Live Bold.’

Hann Development Corp President and CEO, Daesik Han, previously said of the plans: “Our vision is to raise the concept of play into a lifestyle that people would want to discover through world-class experiences.
