South Korea.- R&F Korea (RFKR) has asked for permission to delay the opening of its integrated resort in Midan City<\/strong> by 12 months. The RFKR Resort, which will have a foreigner-only casino, was due to open on March 17 this year having already been put back from 2021 and then March 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to GGRAsia, the company wants to scale down the scope of the project <\/strong>and has been negotiating to sell a 50,805-square-metre plot that had been earmarked for a second phase of the complex. RFKR has already sold an 89,385-square-metre plot that had been planned to house a third phase to raise money for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth modification to the launch schedule since 2018. Caesars Entertainment<\/a> dropped out of project in early 2021. A representative of R&F Korea told GGRAsia that the firm would outline its progress to South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and explain the conditions for a further timetable extension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last extension<\/a> was granted with the condition of finding a new gaming operator partner<\/strong>, resuming construction of the first phase, and clarifying the financial situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
