The Philippine group has secured a provisional licence from PAGCOR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Philippines.- Belle Corp has confirmed that it is in discussions with three to four foreign casino operators as it works to finalise the operational structure for a US$300m integrated casino resort in Clark Freeport, Pampanga<\/strong>. The confirmation follows the issuance of a provisional licence by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to filings to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the development will follow a co-licensing model with the selected operator to manage gaming operations while leasing the land from Belle, which would receive a share of gross gaming revenue as well as rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Belle, the timeline for its second casino hotel venture after City of Dreams Manila<\/strong> depends on the appointment of an operator, with an opening targeted within two to three years from that point. Once a partner is selected, the company plans to submit a revised development plan.<\/p>\n\n\n
