Limassol casino attracts foreign visitors
The casino that opened late last month in Cyprus has attracted people from 41 different countries.
Cyprus.- Limassol saw the opening of the first casino licensed in the Republic of Cyprus on June 28th, when the Cyprus Casinos (C2) began operations. The facility is now reporting that over 34,000 people from 41 different countries have visited the facility within the first three weeks of operations.
Property President of Cyprus Casinos Craig Ballantyne said that since June 28th more than 6,000 visitors have registered to become members of the Melvo-run casino’s Rewards Club loyalty programme. “So far, the number of visitors has exceeded our expectations and we are very gratified with the response from our guests,” he said.
“We believe the accelerating attendance rate and strong performance of new members joining the Cyprus Casinos C2 Rewards Club are driven by the strong, positive word of mouth and self-discovery by the market,” Ballantyne added.
Moreover, he said that while the most frequent guests have been from Cyprus, they have received a lot of people from Greece, Israel, Romania, Russia and the UK. “The most popular games have been our state-of-the-art slot machines, followed by American Roulette.”
The C2 casino is a temporary structure equipped with 242 slot machines, 33 tables and a gaming space of 4,600-square-meters. Nonetheless, Melco is set to open its permanent casino in 2021 – alongside a convention centre and a hotel – after investing €550 million in the integrated resort project.
