The promoter of the Inspire Entertainment Resort, a project with a foreigner-only casino, in Incheon, South Korea, has been granted a one-year postponement on the first-phase opening, it said in a Wednesday email announcement.
GGRAsia got confirmation in January that U.S.-based tribal casino operator Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment had asked the country’s government for a delay to the “first half of 2023”.
A representative from South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism separately confirmed to GGRAsia on Thursday its Wednesday approval notice.
The delay comes against the background of the Covid-19 pandemic. Another casino resort scheme at Incheon – controlled by an entity called R&F Korea – near the country’s capital Seoul, was recently also given a one-year extension on the timing of its first-phase opening.
