French casino operator Groupe Partouche has reportedly had the license for its Grand Casino venue in the small spa town of Forges-les-Eaux automatically extended by a further year after local officials were unable to launch a new tender owing to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
According to a Monday report from G3Newswire, the Paris-headquartered firm was due to see the license for the currently-shuttered Normandy facility it runs through its Forges Hotel SA subsidiary expire last October. However, the source detailed that the launch of the process to find a replacement operator has been continually delayed due to the unremitting presence of coronavirus even though the community of some 4,000 residents is eager to agree a deal and see the entire business relocated to a much larger site.
Japanese jurisdiction has reportedly initiated the request for proposal stage of its plan to win one of the nation’s coming integrated casino resort licences.
