Melco Crown is reportedly in discussions with Belle Corp over a potential casino partnership in the Philippines.
Belle Corp is one of four licensees committed to building major casino resorts in the Manila Bay area as part of Pagcor’s Entertainment City complex. Melco Crown, meanwhile, operates two casino resort properties in Macau, including the City of Dreams resort.
A spokeswoman for SM Investments Corp, the parent company of Bell Corp, told the media that the two companies are in talks but “nothing is final.”
The other developers building resorts within the Manila project are Bloomberry Resorts; a joint venture between Genting and Alliance Global; and Kazuo Okada’s Universal Entertainment Group.
