Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited abandons Yokohama casino license race

Asian casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited is reportedly out of the race to help bring an integrated casino resort to the Japanese city of Yokohama after deciding not to take part in the request for proposal (RFP) stage of the city’s campaign.

According to a report from GGRAsia, the Hong Kong-headquartered firm is responsible for Macau’s impressive Galaxy Macau, StarWorld Macau and Broadway Macau venues and had been interested in running an envisioned Las Vegas-style development Yokohama is hoping to build on a 116-acre waterfront parcel of land near Yamashita Park. However, the source detailed that the RFP phase of the community’s casino drive expired yesterday without an application from Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited.

Partner prerequisite:

Located some 17 miles south of central Tokyo, Yokohama is home to approximately 3.7 million people and is reportedly keen on being given permission to host one of Japan’s coming trio of integrated casino resorts, which are expected to feature minimum $10 billion individual price-tags. However, before it can begin construction, the city is purportedly first being required to select a foreign firm to run the envisioned gambling-friendly development before submitting its completed license application to a panel of federal selectors in advance of an April of 2022 deadline.

Condensed candidates:

Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited has now reportedly followed Wynn Resorts Limited and Las Vegas Sands Corporation in dropping out of the Yokohama race to leave local selectors with a choice of just three runners encompassing Melco Resorts and Entertainment Limited, Genting Singapore Limited and Sega Sammy Holdings Incorporated. This remaining trio is to purportedly have their RFP applications examined between now and June 11 in hopes of being named as the preferred operating partner for the giant community’s planned integrated casino resort.

Coronavirus consequences:

Hong Kong-listed Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited reportedly used an official Monday filing to proclaim that it had decided to exit the ‘current’ Yokohama race owing to the impacts of the global economic downturn brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. But the operator nevertheless declared that it ‘remains interested in pursuing an integrated resort licence in Japan’ and could possibly look to revisit its decision in the future.

Faltering financials:

As recently as November and Inside Asian Gaming reported that Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited had reassured investors that it was committed to expanding into the coming Japanese casino market. This source purportedly disclosed that the operator has since publicized a coronavirus-impacted deficit for 2020 of $3.2 billion alongside a decline of 75% year-on-year in annual net revenues to $12.9 billion.

Travis Strikes Again- No More Heroes Review – Short On Heroics

Relentless absurdity and hyper-stylized action have been core tenets of the No More Heroes series. It never cared for making much sense and instead embraced its own ridiculousness with bold self-awareness, a staple of director Suda51. The slimmed-down hack-n-slash spinoff, Travis Strikes Again, hits many of the same notes, but not as hard and with varying degrees of success. Its combat is frenetic, but well worn toward the end. Its story and style is unique, but thin in crucial moments. Its humor lands in spots, but not quite with a punch. But despite a middling delivery of what past games have done, there’s fun and charm packed into Travis Strikes Again, and if anything, it is a great example of local co-op action on Switch.
