The failure of a plan to open a new casino in Bermuda that was withdrawn last week in frustration at administrative delays has led to talks on the island.

According to the island’s The Royal Gazette, talks will be held next week about the future of another major hotel, St Regis resort ,and its casino plans. Executives of the Marriott group, operators of the St Regis, will visit the island for discussions over the casino.

Last week a plan to introduce casino gaming at the Hamilton Princess and Beach Club collapsed, apparently over difficulties with the Bermuda Gaming Commission. The applicant, Century Casinos, pulled out of the planned casino at the Hamilton Princess as too much red tape was involved in the process.
