New Singapore casino establishment by Tabsorp
17 February 2005
One of the more successful casino gambling corporations, Tabsorp paved the way for a $1.55 billion casino plan which is prospected to include a park complex amidst the Singapore market. The Tabcorp's first expenive offshore leap will be faced by the rigorous competition from Las Vegas casinos, MGM Mirage, Kerzner International and Wynn Resorts. The Tabcorp's operators are hitting on Singapore to turn it into its regional base. The ultimate goal is to create an Asian entertainment center in Singapore as it had already gained a sufficient success in Australia. Some of the analyzed criteria that lend itself to the prospective project were Singapore being a hub of Asia, its stabalized political ground and its stoutly positioned corporate governance.
The plan was drafted four month after the announcement of mutual enterprise of tycoon Stanly Ho to develop casinos in Macau which annually yields $5.6 billion in gambling revenues. Other contenders for the Singapore most prominent casino complex may come from the Mr Ho, Malaysian group Genting Bhd and American group Harrah's Entertainment. Additional departments of the complex have yet been determined but the most likely location is set to be in the Sentosa Island or the Marina Bayfront area, neighbouring with the central business district.
February 28 was chosen to be a deadline for the Singapore's proposal. But the shareholders are still unaware of the extent to which they will be able to profit, from this venture, if at all, since the tax rates and competitive environment are yet unknown.
