日本 – 米高梅度假村和欧力士预计将在大阪赌场投资 1 万日元

The consortium fronted by MGM Resorts and ORIX, is prepared to spend big in Osaka to guarantee its success in the race for one of three Japanese casino licences with a planned investment of JPY1trn (US$9.09bn).

Despite being the only candidate in Osaka’s IR race with Genting Singapore, Galaxy Entertainment, Las Vegas Sands, Melco Resorts & Entertainment and Wynn Resorts all previously pulling out, MGM is hoping the huge investment will see it secure the licence with the aim of opening in 2028.

The group of companies will submit its formal proposal on July 20 with the plan to spend US$182m on extending Osaka’s subway to the site of the casino in Yumeshima.

MGM as President of Global Gaming Development Brian Sandoval said: “Osaka is an incredible city that is passionate about business, food, and having fun. MGM and our Japanese partners intend to deliver a Kansai-focused IR that will wow visitors from far and wide. We expect that the IR will attract both international visitors, as well as people living in the Kansai region and Japanese tourists from other parts of Japan. Regional IRs in the United States, including MGM’s properties in Detroit and Maryland, receive more millions upon millions of visitors every year.”

“我们希望为客人提供日本独有的全新 IR 目的地体验。日本在技术创新方面处于领先地位。它在热情好客方面也被誉为一流，拥有丰富的艺术、文化和美食。我们尊重“Omotenashi”精神和日本充满活力的传统。我们已经从日本学到了很多东西，我们已经能够出口到我们经营的其他市场，”他补充道。
