Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort could outpace rivals, according to CBRE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

South Korea.- CBRE Capital Advisors has forecast that the\u00a0Mohegan INSPIRE Entertainment Resort<\/strong>,\u00a0the recently launched casino complex in South Korea<\/a>, will achieve positive cash flow within its first three years of operation. The resort had a soft opening in November and\u00a0launched gaming<\/a> on February 3. It was the first time in almost two decades that a new foreigner-only casino has opened in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBRE analysts\u00a0Colin Mansfield\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Connor Parks\u00a0<\/strong>foresee a mature annual EBITDA of approximately US$150m with robust margins and debt service coverage in its ramp-up phase.\u00a0They said the project has access to an estimated US$179m in cash as of December 31, 2023, earmarked for construction payables and preopening expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report says the casino could have a faster ramp-up than its competitor,\u00a0Paradise City<\/a>, due to a less phased opening and a wide range of non-gaming amenities.\u00a0Analysts believe that Mohegan Inspire can outperform Paradise City because of its greater focus on slots and larger room base. The report expects the average win-per-unit-per-day <\/strong>to be in line with the average in Asia, except for Macau and Singapore, which far exceed casinos in South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Cambodia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The casino has over 150 table games, 390 slot machines, and 160 electronic table games (ETG). It has a floor for VIP guests featuring a Guandong-style restaurant. Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE)<\/a>\u00a0posted net revenue of US$425.2m for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2023-2024, up 4.6 per cent compared to the previous quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
