Philippines – ASKI Japan to provide junket services to Emerald Bay
By Phil - 7 May 2021
Japanese junket operator ASKI Japan will provide VIP Japanese players to PH Resorts Group’s Cebu integrated resort Emerald Bay set to be unveiled tin late 2021.
ASKI Japan currently runs similar Japanese junkets at South Korea’s Paradise City in Incheon and Paradise Casino Busan, as well as at two Friday Club branded resorts.
PH Resorts Group COO José Angel Sueiro said: “We are very excited to get ASKI as a potential partner in the junket and VIP segment of Emerald Bay. The Japanese are no strangers to the Philippines, particularly Cebu, and we believe that Emerald Bay will be a very welcome attraction to them when it opens.”
ASKI Japan CEO Nobuhiro Imigi added: “We want to be ready and hit the ground running when the tourism and gaming industry recovers from the pandemic. Our players are always looking for new and fun gaming destinations and Emerald Bay fits the bill with its convenient location just a few minutes from the airport and with a long and beautiful beachfront feature.”
The beachside Emerald Bay will offer 122 gaming tables covering mass, premium mass and junkets, plus 600 EGMs and 270 hotel rooms.
