Wynn Hotels & Resort could be on the verge of making a major investment in the Dominican Republic.
According to a press release the company is in talks with business leaders to acquire 12 hectares in order to build a 9,000-room hotel in three stage process. The project will have 16 casinos.
According to Dominican Today the company’s lawyers in New York and representatives in the Dominican Republic said they will focus its investments in Punta Cana, where they plan to invest more than US$6bn in six years, starting at the end of this year.
The Dominican Republic is currently experiencing a tourist boom. In the last eight years it posted an average annual growth of five per cent in tourist arrivals, adding 45.2 million visitors between 2012 and 2019. Income from the industry stood at more than US$50.6bn between 2012 and 2019. Last year was the highest with an estimated US$7.7 billion according to figures released by the Tourism Ministry.
The country already has around 50 casinos, more than any other country in the Caribbean, with the existing Hard Rock casino in Punta Cana offering more than 40 table games and over 450 slot machines.
博彩业受三大博彩法的监管。 351 年通过的第 1964 号法律、96 年通过的第 88-1988 号法律和 29 年通过的第 06-2006 号法律。广义而言，第 315 号法律允许在多米尼加共和国进行赌场博彩。第 96-88 号法律允许赌场安置老虎机，以进一步增加国家收入，而第 29-06 号法律则显着增加了赌场和博彩业的税收负担。它还允许体育博彩商店使用老虎机。博彩法也经常被修改，主要是为了提高该行业的税收。
Law No. 351, which was the first bill to regulate gaming in the Dominican Republic, states that casinos are primarily a way to attract tourists to the country. As a result casinos may only be present in what it terms “first class” hotels.
