Month: May 2024

Casino sales at Paradise, South Korea’s foreign-only casino operator, fell 4.9 percent in November from a year earlier, data showed Wednesday at the Korea Exchange.

Such revenue was approximately 51.63 billion won ($45.8 million) compared to approximately 54.29 billion won in November 2017.

Table sales fell 6.7% year-on-year to 47.4 billion won last month, down nearly 50.82 billion won from a year earlier.

The drop in table revenue was offset by a 21.9% year-over-year increase in machinery revenue to 4.23 billion won in November this year, up from nearly 3.47 billion won a year earlier.

The company’s monthly update does not provide a comment on why sales fluctuated year-over-year.

In the first 11 months of 2018, total casino revenue in Paradise rose 16.6% year-over-year to about 583.15 billion won.

Table sales in the first 11 months of the year rose 16.7 percent year-on-year to 543.98 billion won. In the first 11 months of this year, sales of machinery rose 15.7 percent to 39.17 billion won.

TABLE DROP – The amount of cash exchanged for chips by customers at the table was just over W5.28 trillion in the first 11 months of 2018, up 13.5% year-over-year.

Paradise’s latest casino figures are based on the results of four venues operated by its casino business division. Walkerhill in Seoul, Jeju Grand in Jeju Island, Busan Casino in the southern port city of Busan, and Paradise City in Incheon (pictured) are near the main international airport serving the capital city of Seoul.

The casino operator reported last month that its net profit in the third quarter of 2018 rose 11.6% year-on-year to about 4.72 billion won.

The first phase of the multibillion-dollar casino resort complex (a rendering photo of an artist) on Vietnam’s central coast, a project partially backed by Suncity Group Holdings, is expected to be ready and launched by the end of the year. Andrew Roqai Bong, executive director of a Hong Kong-listed company, said in a commentary to GGRAsia.

The listed company is chaired by veteran junket investor Alvin Chowchukwa, who also heads privately owned Macau junket company Suncity Group.

As part of the first phase of the Hoiana Games Resort in Vietnam, two towers, called condo-hotel spaces by promoters, will provide a total of 270 units. According to recent data released by Suncity Group, a junket company, the facilities will be branded as “Hoiana Residences” and will be on sale in an unplanned Hong Kong-style, or from Jan. 7-9 before actual construction is completed.

In an interview with GGRAsia, Lo explained that the sale will mainly be aimed at “foreign buyers,” especially those with ties to the gaming sector.

Potential buyers included Suncity Group customers and some junket companies in Macau.

He added: “These kinds of deals typically allow [promoters] to earn a one-off income, but more importantly, when we sell units to people in the sector, it helps to drive business along with our existing customers and partners.” He did not specify how much the group was looking to generate from real estate sales.

Located in Hoi An, Vietnam, multi-phase Hoi An Plan is a venture of Hoi An South Development Limited. Vietnamese wealth manager Vina Capital Group and a subsidiary of Hong Kong’s Chautai Phuk Enterprises Limited have also been linked to the plan. Listed Sun City Group Holdings completed the acquisition in August 2018 that secured a 34% stake in Hoi An Plan.

Capital expenditure in the first phase of the casino resort plan also increased from just $650 million to about $900 million under the original flag, as more facilities and rooms are being built, according to Mr. Law.

The facilities available until the first phase of the rollout is expected by the end of 2019 will include a golf course, a Hoana Residence condominium-hotel and a hotel from Hong Kong real estate developer New World Development Limited, Mr. Law said. A total of three hotels planned for the first phase will online their total room inventory to more than 800 in addition to two towers at Hoana Residence.

Rosewood Hotel Group, an affiliate of Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, is a partner in casino resort planning. One of the group’s hotel brands will appear in Phase 1. There will also be “Hoiana” branded hotels, Lo added.

Hoana’s developers will proceed with the construction of the second phase of the casino resort plan “later this year,” Mr. L

KIA predicted the biggest crisis this season as it played against Gwangju SSG on the 10th. This is because starter Will Crow was excluded from the entry on the day due to injury. During the game, Jeon Sang-hyun, a key bullpen, was replaced after being hit by Herredia’s hit. He also gave up the victory, signaling his absence for a while.

The schedule added to the sense of crisis. Doosan and NC, which had been trailing each other by a gap of two to 2.5 games, were set to hold three consecutive games on Tuesday. Kia, which remained lacking the core of its starting pitcher and bullpen, played without even Kim Do-young due to severe enteritis from Friday, when it was holding the three consecutive games against Doosan.

KIA had one win, one draw, and one loss with Doosan. It was three consecutive games in which Yang Hyun-jong, James Nail, and Yoon Young-chul, who were the most reliable starters, were involved. The draw was on the 16th, the last day of the three consecutive games. KIA moved to Changwon early in the morning with its pitchers tied 7-7 in 12 extra innings for 4 hours and 40 minutes until 11:10 p.m.

The consumption of the draw was too great. All of the must-win pitching teams struggled in a row. On the first day of the match against NC, which has to start with alternative starters, these key bullpens, except for Jeon Sang-hyun, could not throw.

KIA, however, took all three consecutive games against NC. Even though starter Kim Geon-guk went down after one inning due to hamstring pain, the team won the game. Kim Sa-yoon (one run allowed in three innings) pitched well, and when the score was tying 3-3, left-hander Lee Joon-young took charge of the eighth inning after pitching Kim Do-hyun to block two innings until the seventh inning. In the meantime, the batting lineup exploded, and in the top of the ninth inning, Na Sung-bum’s two-run homerun was added to lead the game 7-4, and Jeon took the mound as the closing pitcher of the ninth inning. Jeon, who returned to the game against Doosan on Tuesday, took a three-out strikeout to perfectly protect his win and announce his recovery.

Hwang Dong-ha, a substitute starting pitcher, pitched five hits and two runs in five innings to secure his first win since his debut. After returning to the lineup on the day, Kia Tigers’ 7-2 victory came on Sunday with three hits and two RBIs, and its bullpen blocked the ace Yang Hyun-jong’s good pitching of one run in six innings, and Lee Woo-sung sealed the victory with a solo shot in the top of the ninth inning, taking all three consecutive games.

On Monday, the first day of the three consecutive NC games, Kia thought it would have to give up the game, but when intermediate pitchers other than the must-win group threw better-than-expected pitches, Kia expressed its desire for victory and seized the game with the explosive power of troubleshooter Na Sung-bum. On the two days from Friday through Sunday when substitute starters took the mound, KIA batters scored 14 points, seven points apiece. After securing the three consecutive games, Kia pushed NC to the third place by four games, outpacing second-ranked Samsung by three games. Despite the crisis, the team has regained more leeway.

KIA also won the match against LG in Gwangju on April 10, when starter Lee Eui-ri voluntarily stepped down after 1.1 innings due to elbow injury. It swept all three consecutive games and won six consecutive games until the next three games against Hanwha. This is an opportunity for KIA to remain at No. 1 on April 9.

The crisis continued. In the match against SSG on April 16, closer Jung Hae-young was hit by Choi Jeong for a walk-off home run after tying his 467th career home run, but the next day, Kim Do-young and Kim Sun-bin hit three home runs and won the game due to explosion of batters, regaining the mood immediately. On April 28, when Na Sung-bum returned to the mound and walked as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, Kim Do-young reversed the mood with a critical bunt hit with no outs and runners on the first and second bases.

KIA has been No. 1 since April 9. It is a close call, and even though several teams are following suit, they do not give up their seats. Although the team does not place much importance on the ranking due to the season’s remaining, its ups and downs are meaningful to Kia.

Ko Woo-suk, who plays for Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp under the Miami Marlins, pitched as a relief pitcher in the top of the eighth inning in a home game against the Minor League Triple-A Nashville Sounders (Triple-A under the Milwaukee Brewers) at 121 Financial Ballpark in Jacksonville, Florida, on the 20th (Korea Standard Time).

Ko Woo-suk, who took the mound in the top of the eighth inning with Jacksonville leading 6-1, got off to a shaky start as he was hit to the right by leadoff hitter Yoni Hernandez. He held two strikes first and pitched a low curveball of 80.9 miles (130 kilometers) for the third pitch, but this led to a hit to the right.

With no outs and runners on first base, Ko deleted the runner by throwing a 92.8-mile (149-kilometer) four-seam fastball against Chavez Young to catch a double play between the second baseman, the shortstop, and the first baseman, but his 86.1-mile (139-kilometer) changeup to Oliver Dunn led to a left-handed double, and he had to face the crisis of losing points once again. In the end, Ko threw a 92-mile (148-kilometer) four-seam fastball to Tyler Black to get the first run, and threw an 84-mile (135-kilometer) slider to Isaac Collins, and lost another run after a timely triple to the left.

There was no more loss. Ko threw an 88.8-mile (143 kilometer) cutter at Wes Clark, caught a flyout to center field, and finished the inning.

With four hits and two runs left in an inning, Ko failed to prevent his ERA from rising from 4.42 to 4.50 in the Triple-A season. His maximum speed was set at 93.6 miles (151 kilometers). Jacksonville ended up winning the game 7-3.

Ko Woo-suk, who played as a closer in the LG Twins in the KBO League until last season, declared his entry into the Major League and finally seemed to fulfill his dream of making a big leaguer debut as he signed a two-plus-one-year contract with San Diego through the posting system for up to $9.4 million. However, he was sluggish in the exhibition game with one loss and an ERA of 12.46 and was excluded from the opening roster in the Seoul Series special match as he pitched as a relief pitcher in the bottom of the ninth inning against his former team LG and hit a two-run home run against Lee Jae-won.

Ko Woo-seok, who played for San Antonio Mission, a double-A team under San Diego, was traded to Miami on the 5th and moved to Jacksonville, a Triple-A team under Miami, and took the mound in five games for Jacksonville.

Triple-A is the last gateway to Major League Baseball. It can be interpreted that Miami also sent Ko to Triple-A, judging him based on his immediate strength, not a promising player. So far, he has pitched in five games for Triple-A, giving up nine hits and striking out three, allowing only three runs, with an ERA of 4.50. He has walked only one, but his WHIP per inning is not stable at 1.667. How does Miami judge Ko’s use.

Boutique Asia casino operator Donaco International posted a net loss of A$36.8 million ($26.1 million) for the six months ended Dec. 31, 2018 on Thursday, compared with a net loss of A$133.8 million a year earlier.

In a filing with the Australian Stock Exchange, the casino company blamed the net loss on impairment costs related to its Cambodian casino operations.

Donaco operates Star Vegas Resort and Club (pictured) in Poipet, Cambodia, and Aristo International Hotel, a casino hotel property in northern Vietnam, near the border with China.

In a filing on Thursday, Donaco said its net loss in the first half of fiscal 2019 included A$38.2 million in non-cash impairment from its Star Vegas casino license, which it accused of “vendor breach of contract.”

Donaco previously said damage to its Star Vegas business was a direct result of “violation of agreement.” The Australian-listed company claimed the former business partner was still running the Star Paradise casino, even though Donaco’s contract to operate Star Paradise had expired and not been renewed.

“The Board continues to pursue legal proceedings to enforce its legal rights against Thai suppliers and receive financial compensation for losses incurred,” the company said in a recent filing.

Donaco said it had received a provisional injunction that would prevent its former business partner from terminating a 50-year lease on the land where the Star Vegas casino is located, and the matter would be arbitrated in Cambodia.

“Donaco’s main legal claim is in Singapore arbitration, and the company is seeking $190 million in damages,” the company said. “The claim is scheduled to be heard in July 2019, and is supported by a freeze order obtained by Donaco on the company’s shares, which is currently extended through Oct. 4, 2019.”

New Silk Road Gets Approval For Jeju Casino Business

New Silk Road Culture Tensions Co. said the Jeju governor of South Korea has officially given the green light to its subsidiary, Macrolink Mounds of Honor, Inc., to pursue the Mounds of Honor casino resort business.

New Silk Road told the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Friday that the development of the Hill of Glory promised to bring “sustainable” returns.

In 2017, New Silk Road announced that it had taken control of the macrolink hills of glory, injecting funds to develop a large resort complex on the hills of glory, including a “large casino”.

New Silk Road said last year it has a 55 percent stake in the Hill of Glory project. The company said the development will include five-star hotels, shops, homes, entertainment complexes, medical facilities, theme parks and golf courses.

New Silkroad already operates the Mega Luck Casino at the Jeju KAL Hotel on the island. The casino is open to foreigners only.

The company reported in August that its gaming business in Jeju had gross profit of HK$28.69 million ($3.66 million) in the first half of 2018, up 193.7% from a year earlier, as its business grew in the VIP gaming market.

In 2017, New Silk Road said Lawrence Hoya-Lung’s casino development company had a strategic alliance with Melco International Development, which would see it offer planning, development and execution advisory services as well as preparation and marketing events for the commercial launch of the casino, dubbed the “new casino.” Melco International controls the City of Dreams complex in Macau, Altira and Studio City Casino resorts, and Melco Resorts and Entertainment Limited, the company behind Manila’s City of Dreams resort.

Park Jin-man, head coach of the Samsung Lions in professional baseball, declared that he would ring at least 80 “el Dorado” for fans during the opening game of the 2024 season.

The “El Dorado” that coach Park mentioned is one of the most beloved cheering songs by Samsung fans. It was a song that resonated in the stadium whenever the team won during the Samsung Dynasty, and fans enjoyed the victory by singing along to the song.

In other words, the Eldorado is the symbol of Samsung’s victory. Park has vowed to post at least 80 wins out of 144 games this season.

As Samsung ranked eighth with 61 wins, 82 losses, and one draw last season, it promised better performance than that. “(El Dorado) is a song that we used to listen to during the dynasty,” coach Park said. “We will continue to build a team by taking over the atmosphere of that time.”

In the early part of this season, Samsung failed to win nine consecutive games, struggling at the bottom of the league. However, the reversal started in April. The league’s ranking has jumped to a tie for second place. Samsung has 23 wins, 17 losses and one draw so far.

One of the reasons for the rise is the harmony of the young spirit’s starting lineup and veteran bullpen.

First of all, Won Tae-in, who became the oldest Korean player in the starting rotation, boasts the best ace pitchers in the league by ranking first in multiple wins (five wins) and second in ERA (1.55). In addition, left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, who turned to starting pitcher this year, is showing good pitching with 2-1 loss and an ERA of 1.71. Lee Ho-seong (1 wins, two losses and 4.03 ERA) in his second year is also holding steady opportunities to start.

Won Tae-in said, “I think I became the oldest player (among domestic pitchers) too quickly, so I honestly don’t know what to do,” but added, “I want to bear the burden and make the juniors take the mound in a comfortable situation.”

Coach Park also said with a smile, “We are probably the youngest among the 10 Korean teams except for foreigners.” “With more experience, we won’t have to worry about starting for 10 to 15 years,” he said with confidence.

When they complete their mission, the iron-wall bullpen will tie the game. Lim Chang-min in the seventh inning, Kim Jae-yoon in the eighth inning, and Oh Seung-hwan in the ninth inning take the mound in succession to protect Samsung’s victory.

Among hitters, Kim stands out the most. Kim has recorded nine homers, 46 hits, 26 RBIs and 24 runs in 40 games this season. His batting average is .300 with one run. Even after receiving the duty as cleanup hitter recently, Kim’s bat has not cooled down.

In addition, fielders in their early 20s, including Kim Ji-chan, Kim Jae-sang, Lee Jae-hyun, and Kim Sung-yoon, show lively play. Veteran players, including captain Koo Ja-wook, Kang Min-ho, David McKinnon, and Kim Heon-gon, are playing the role of troubleshooter.

However, there is a task that Samsung must solve in order to make El Dorado ring at least 80 times. It needs to increase its home winning percentage.

This is because the team has displayed quite contrasting performances both at home and away matches so far. Samsung has won 16 games, lost six games and drew one tie, ranking first in away matches among the 10 teams. It is also the only team that has an away win rate of over 70 percent (72 percent).

However, Samsung ranked last in home winning percentage. Its home record is seven wins and 11 losses. Of the 10 teams, Samsung is the only team that failed to exceed 40 percent. Its first home win came out on April 14 for the first time.

Currently, Samsung is tying for second and is eying the top spot in the league. From Friday to Sunday, it will play three consecutive games during the week against the SSG Landers, away from Munhak. On weekends, it plans to invite the Hanwha Eagles to its home ground to continue its competition.

Liverpool, led by head coach Jurgen Klopp, drew 3-3 against Aston Villa at 2023-24 PL 37R at Birmingham Villa Park in England on the 14th (Korea time).

Liverpool led 2-1 in the first half on the day, including the first goal scored in just two minutes, and 3-1 in just three minutes from the start of the second half, with just shy of victory. However, Liverpool lost two goals with five minutes left before the end of regular time, resulting in a draw like a defeat.

Klopp expressed his feelings about the draw on the day, saying, “I’m not disappointed at all. I think I should, but that’s not how I feel today. I’m rather happy.”

There was also a dagger for Tottenham.

“Of course, we have confirmed our entry into the UCL, but going to the Champions League will probably be everything that Villa cannot give up. It is really positive that we took the lead against Aston Villa under Coach Unai Emery, who has a great teamwork,” he said, adding that he weighed on Aston Villa’s move to the UCL.

In other words, Tottenham’s chances of entering the UCL, which competes with Villa, are relatively low.

Klopp, who continued to explain the 3-1 lead, cited laxity and fatigue as factors for the draw.

“We get a little tired, the organization gets a little loose, that’s what we did. We made a 3-2 mistake, and straight away Villa took the opportunity again. They hit the point (additional goal).”

In addition, he expressed his sorry for the poor performance of third place than expected.

“I know (the fans) don’t want to hear it, but we have become the third-best team in the league this season. We have changed a lot and improved along the way. I really like the team. Even though we didn’t keep the championship race to the end, we laid a good foundation for the future,” he said, explaining that the season was more forward-looking than immediate results.

“I had a great time today. I still can’t believe it’s the last time or what it is, I know it’s the last time but it doesn’t. I was completely into the game, and I didn’t think for a moment whether it was my last away game or not,” he said in expressing his feelings about the last away game.

“The away fans are always wild. We asked them to support us at home-away over the years. What a wonderful, lovely relationship! I always try to express my gratitude, and I hope today’s game against Liverpool confirmed some of this,” he said, expressing his gratitude and love for the fans.

Meanwhile, at the end of the interview, there was also a story about Andy Robertson. Klopp summed up the situation, saying that Robertson’s return is not far off, saying, “I met him this morning and he said he was ready to train from tomorrow.”

Klopp’s last match will be against Hwang Hee-chan’s Wolverhampton at Anfield on the 19th. After the match, Klopp’s nine-year-old partnership with Liverpool, who was the longest in his managerial history, will end.
