Cyprus – Cyprus Casinos C2 getting ready for one millionth customer in August

By - 8 July 2019

Cyprus Casinos C2, the operating force behind Melco Entertainment’s casino revolution in Cyprus, is closing on its first year of operation with the expectation that it will greet its one millionth customer in August.

It has already welcomed over 880,000 guests into its three casino locations in Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca. In Limassol, which is celebrating a year since it opened its doors, around 710,000 visitors have visited while the casinos in Nicosia and Larnaca which opened in December 2018 have attracted 130,000 and 40,000 visitors respectively. Melco will open another two satellite casinos in Ayia Napa and in Paphos. It made the announcement at a press conference where the interior design of the integrated casino resort City of Dreams of Mediterranean was made public.

Operations in Limassol began one year ago on June 28, 2018 in Zakaki, which houses the 24-hour temporary casino until the grand resort ‘City of Dreams Mediterranean’ opens its doors in 2021.

Chairman and CEO of Melco Group Lawrence Ho said: “I’m extremely happy with our first year of operations here in Cyprus, progress has been swift. Running a business that operates across Asia, Australia and the UK means we are intently focused within Melco on compliance, and the government of the Republic of Cyprus is setting and maintaining the highest standards in this regard. That means Cyprus will not only become a destination for premium luxury tourists, but for international investors too. The government has a clearly-defined vision, the community is supporting us, and the success of the satellite and pop-up casinos we’ve already opened are evidence of strong consumer demand.”

“Once open, our integrated casino resort, City of Dreams Mediterranean will rewrite the tourism guides to Cyprus and make this beautiful island an internationally recognised year-round destination,” he added.

The company was also launching a new corporate social responsibility initiative named ‘Heritage Signs’ set to promote the the island’s most significant heritage sites by sponsoring heritage enhancements..

Transport Minister Vassiliki Anastassiadou said: “We believe that this initiative will help to diverse cultural heritage of Cyprus and create an unforgettable learning experience for the visitors to Cyprus.”

City of Dreams of Mediterranean, located in Zakaki, west of Limassol, is set to be completed in 2021 and will open with over 100 tables and 1,000 slots.
