It is interested in investing in major infrastructure projects. The idea is to support the economy but also as a result of the population and tourism growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although SkyCity\u2019s earnings from the Adelaide Casino has been flat over the last 5 to 10 years, the company is focusing on its long-term potential after solving \u201cstructural issues\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said that cracking the VIP Business has been \u201chistorically challenging\u201d for Adelaide because the city lacks gaming facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now they are convinced that it is possible to boost the investments following some \u201cunique experiences\u201d. Some places are Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale wine regions, and Kangaroo Island, and some vital characteristics of the city.  It is a safe, clean, green city and has an international cultural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adelaide Casino currently attracts less than 1% of Australia\u2019s annual VIP gaming turnover. Expected to open in 2021, the expanded Casino will have 123 room all-suite boutique hotel, restaurants, bars and caf\u00e9s. Also, it will have space for 750 people, a 1500 space car park and improved back-of-house facilities.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is expected to reopen in 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"SkyCity Entertainment Group is undertaking an AU$330 million (\u20ac250 million) renovation of its Adelaide Casino, aiming to significantly increase its share of Australia's international VIP gaming business.
