The Grand Ho Tram, a Vietnamese resort with foreigner-only casinos, is using high-profile events to help propel its gaming and hotel businesses. Walt Power, the chief executive of Grand Ho Tram Resorts and Casino, told GGRAsia in an interview.

The latest example was the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia-Pacific’s “Fight Mania” night on Saturday, where its CEO said there were six cards, including some of the most talented people in the region and Korean fighters, an important target market for the Grand Ho Tram. The event took place in a 1,254 sq m (13,498 sq ft) ballroom in the accommodation, and was told by a ring announcer that it was in the “millions.”

Mr. Power explained that these events were “critical” to the success of the property, and that he had attracted martial arts fans and others to help them make the two-and-a-half-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City to Hothram on the southern coast of Vietnam. The executive, a veteran of Macau casino operations, said he had been in his current role for four years, and immediately recognized the value of expanding his property event roster to facilitate his property transactions.

The casinos on the Grand Ho Tram (pictured below) are not currently authorized to serve locals, but Mr Power says expats from South Korea, Taiwan and other countries with business interests in Vietnam and based in the global city of Ho Chi Minh City, a big city of more than 9 million, are an important component of their clients.

Mr. Power said, “When there are special events – boxing, mixed martial arts, casino VIP events – we recently had horse races on the beach – casino performance goes up a lot. The numbers speak for themselves.”

“Battle sports events have the highest (casino) drop over the weekend,” he added.

The main investor in Grand Hot Tram is private equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC, so the property does not disclose specific sales numbers in the manner of listed casino companies. Vina Capital, a Vietnam-focused investment manager, is also a sponsor.

A senior analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Company, a global investment firm, reportedly predicted that at least some of Macau’s casino operators would be able to make a positive profit in the fourth quarter due to a surge in mainland visits.

The prediction by analyst DS Kim comes after Macau announced plans to restore package travel and local eVISA plans soon after discussions with China’s central government, according to a Sunday report from Inside Asian Gaming. The sources detailed that such measures are expected to take place in November after both measures were suspended in January 2020 due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.

Flush figures:

According to reports, an increase in visits to Macau could allow Macau’s related fourth-quarter mass market gross gaming revenue to recover to 35% of pre-pandemic levels before hitting 85% by the end of next year. An experienced financial expert also reportedly explained that this could allow some of the region’s six casino operators to return to profitability through positive fourth-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

According to reports, he read Kim’s affidavit…

“Most businesses can positively convert their earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization when mass market gross gaming revenue reaches about 30% to 35% of pre-pandemic levels, indicating that some companies may start making positive earnings in the fourth quarter.”

Exceptions:

However, Kim reportedly warned that this optimism may not apply due to the expected new operating costs associated with the recently opened Grand Lisboa Palace facility by Macau casino giant SJM Holdings Limited. JPMorgan Chase and the company reportedly described the company’s financial situation as “somewhat concerning” due to possible refinancing issues in April and the expected closure of parts of its satellite casinos soon.

In Kim’s statement…It was said that it was written…

“With the exception of Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited, which is capable of outputting plus pre-cash flows with less than 30% recovery thanks to net cash, and SJM Holdings Limited, which is expected to require near-full recovery to recover the operating costs of Grand Lisboa Palace and satellite casinos, will be able to achieve a pre-cash flow break-even at approximately 50% to 60% of total game revenue recovery on the mass market. Therefore, we will no longer need to worry about ‘liquidity runway’ as all operators except SJM Holdings Limited are expected to be pre-cash flow-plus by Q2 2023.”

LG exposed its two faces in the 2023-2024 season.

LG ranked second in the 2022 and 2023 regular season. It also ranked second in the 2023 and 2024 regular season. As a result, LG was able to advance directly to the semifinals for two consecutive seasons starting from the 2022-2023 season.

However, LG lost all three games to Seoul SK in the 2022-2023 semifinal playoff. It lost two to three games to Suwon KT in the 2023-2024 semifinal playoff. It failed to play in the championship for the second consecutive season.

straight to the semifinals for the second year in a row

LG started the 2023-2024 season with Asem Maray (202 cm, C) and Dante Cunningham (203 cm, F). Maray and Cunningham were foreign players association of LG during the 2022-2023 season. They were also foreign players who knew LG well.
However, Cunningham left with a back injury, and the Mareimazer was placed out of the lineup for nearly two months starting in January 2024. For that reason, LG was unable to set 100 percent for most of the regular season.
However, Korean LG players have overcome foreign players’ injury variables. Lee Jae-do (180 cm tall, G), Yoo Ki-sang (188 cm tall, G), Justin Gutang (188 cm tall, G), Yang Hong-seok (195 cm, F), and Jeong Hee-jae (196 cm, F) have shown off their strong defense, strong teamwork, and fast attack.
Then, Maray returned safely. After Maray and local players combined, LG hit it off once again. After hitting it off, LG confirmed second place in the regular league against Hyundai Mobis in Ulsan on March 24. It went straight to the semifinal playoffs for the second consecutive year.

the championship game for the second year in a row

LG finished its regular season on March 31. I watched the match between Suwon KT and Ulsan Hyundai Mobis. This is because the winner of the showdown between KT and Hyundai Mobis will face LG.
LG’s counterpart was KT. After meeting KT, LG focused on Paris Bath (200 cm, F) and Hur Hoon (180 cm, G). The goal was to minimize the score of the two players.
Although LG’s defense was not bad, it had only one win until the second round. It had to balance itself and move on to the enemy territory. However, it won the third game dramatically. Yoon Won-sang (181 cm, G)’s buzzer beater recorded 2-1 victory.
However, LG lost to KT in the fourth game. Asem Maray’s foul trouble overlapped with poor offense by domestic resources. LG had to catch its last game held at its home turf, but its 2023-2024 season came to an end. It was frustrating in front of FINAL for the second consecutive season. It also had to give up its dream of becoming an EASL player. (The team that advances to KBL FINAL can play at the EASL next season.)

“What’s wrong with going to Woori Bank?”

WKBL announced the results of its nomination as FA compensation player for 2024 at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Many big fish players have changed teams.

In particular, Asan Woori Bank lost all of its major FA players. Park Hye-jin (178 cm, G), Choi Yi-sam (182 cm, F), and Na Yoon-jeong (172 cm, G) headed to the other team, while Park Ji-hyun (183 cm, G) announced her overseas expansion.

As a result, Woori Bank’s power has dropped sharply. However, Woori faced an oasis of ‘nomination of compensation players’. With the movement of Park Hye-jin, Choi Yi-sam, and Na Yoon-jung, three compensation players could be obtained.

Kim Ye-jin (174 cm, F) is one of them. When Na Yoon-jung moved to Cheongju KB, Kim was removed from KB’s protected list. And she was called by Woori.

In a telephone interview with this newspaper on Saturday, Kim Ye-jin said, “(When) Yoon Jeong-eun said she would join as KB, I received a lot of calls from people around me. They said, “I think you’re going to Woori Bank.” (Laughs) I thought so, too. If you recruit someone, shouldn’t someone leave?” and predicted his transfer.

Woori Bank, Kim’s new team, won its sixth consecutive game in a row from the 2012-2013 season. It won the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, from the 2022-2023 season to the 2023-2024 season. In particular, it directed drama against KB, Kim’s original team, during the 2023-2024 season.

However, Woori Bank’s training intensity is much stronger than other clubs. Woori Bank coach Wi Sung-woo’s coaching method is also tight. For that reason, there may be people who are worried about Kim Ye-jin’s transfer to Woori Bank.

However, Kim Ye-jin said, “I loved it (when I heard that Woori Bank was moving).” Rather, I hated the words, ‘What should I do when I go to Woori Bank?’ I thought strongly about ‘What’s wrong with going to Woori Bank?’ and was happy about ‘Woori Bank’s transfer’.

Kim Ye-jin, who was happy to join Woori Bank, said, “I can learn basketball from new leaders. Also, I understand that both the coach and the coach are very detailed. He emphasizes defense a lot. So I think I can learn more about defense,” and expected to meet with new coaching staff.

After that, he said, “There must be a reason why Woori Bank chose me. I want to do my best and highlight my strengths. I want to play a stronger defense than before,” he said, referring to what Woori Bank has to do.

Meanwhile, Kim Ye-jin did not win the KB Championship. He then moved to Woori Bank, the winning team from 2023 to 2024. However, Woori’s power has weakened a lot. The word “win” could move further away from Kim.

However, Kim said, “Of course, it would be nice to win. But I want to grow up. That’s why I think growth is as valuable as winning. If I can grow and become positive, I will be as happy as winning the championship,” focusing on “growth.” That’s why I was happy about the transfer to Woori Bank.

The U.S. Mohegan Tribe Gaming Authority, which trades as Mohegan, confirmed that the Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort Plan (pictured with an artist’s impression) with a foreigner-only casino in South Korea is set to launch in late 2023.

The company explained in its Q3 earnings release deck that it had outstanding $620.1 million for the project, using a mix of credit and loans.

Two credit loans due at the end of November 2025 and nearly US$298.9 million in term loans due in June 2027 with 17.00% coupons.

The company said the hotel tower concrete structure near Incheon International Airport, South Korea’s main air travel gateway, was “under construction” on the property, which is in “various stages between 8 and 12.”

The Mohegan Inspire will have a total of 1,200 hotel rooms, a 15,000-seat arena, conference space, dining, shops and entertainment, an 24/7 “indoor water dome,” an outdoor family park and a foreigner-only casino.

The group, which has gaming operations in the U.S. and Canada, posted third-quarter net income of nearly $59.4 million, up 134.0% year-over-year.

South Korea’s Jeju government (pictured) has asked foreign-only casinos, which have still been closed since the COVID-19 pandemic, to reopen from Oct. 1.

Five of the island’s eight foreign-only locations were still suspended as of Tuesday. Some previously cited a slow recovery in tourism as a reason for delays in reopening.

Jeju Sun Hotels and Casino, a real estate at Bloomberry Resorts Corp. listed in the Philippines, responded to phone inquiries Tuesday and confirmed that it will reopen to GGRAsia on Oct. 3. Jeju Sun’s operations have been suspended since March 21, 2020.

A spokesperson for Mega Luck Casino, run by Hong Kong-listed New Silk Road Culture Container Ltd, recently announced that its gaming business will move to the Shilla Hotel on Jeju Island. GGRA said that it will resume business from Nov. 1.

The latest interim report filed in Hong Kong on Aug. 28 showed that New Silk Road did not record any entertainment business revenue, including its stake in the Jeju casino, in the six months to June 30, as it did in the first half of 2021.

A government spokesman on the semi-autonomous holiday island of Jeju, which has the authority to oversee permits for domestic casinos, told GGRAsia: “Our official position is to reopen because we see no reason to continue suspending all closed foreign-only casinos until Oct. 1.”

The official added: “If you want to keep stopping any of them, you will have to consult us in advance with good reason.

The other three that are currently suspended are Gongji Jeju Casino located at Ramada Plaza by Windham Jeju Ocean Front Hotel, Jeju Oriental Hotel and Casino, and Yalanwan Casino, which is said to be moving to Lotte Hotel Jeju. Each of the three told GGRAsia that they currently have no reopening schedule to open.

Currently, there are three book properties in use: Jeju Dream Tower Casino operated by Lotte Tourism Development Co., Ltd., Landing Casino operated by Hong Kong-listed Landing International Development Co., Ltd. at Jeju Shinhwa World Resort, and Paradise Casino Jeju Grand operated by Paradise Co., Ltd.

A press release from South Korea’s Ministry of Justice on Aug. 26 said South Korea will be extended beyond Aug. 31, a visa-free entry plan that can be applied to passport holders in many countries and regions, including mainland China.

A visa-free scheme to visit Jeju for some passport holders began on June 1, described at the time as a “restart” of some pre-pandemic preparations.

“I don’t really talk about baseball. I do it little by little, but I don’t usually talk a lot,” Kim said. “When the starting pitcher is announced the next day, they have conversations about how to play. I’m not digging very seriously, but I’m just talking lightly,” Lee Jae-hyun said. “Actually, I have nothing to say except baseball. Other than that, I just joke around.”

When delivering their statements to each other, Lee Jae-hyun asked Kim Young-woong, “Didn’t we talk about the starting pitcher? How can we hit the ball?” (Ricardo Sanchez of the Hanwha Eagles) Kim Young-woong did not have an easy answer.

They had a sharp confrontation on another topic. “(Lee Jae-hyun) sleeps an hour later than I do. He doesn’t put me to sleep often,” Kim Young-woong said. “He keeps saying he’s hungry and wants to eat something. He said he needs to fill his stomach to sleep. I don’t eat with him.”

Lee Jae-hyun’s counterattack has begun again. Lee Jae-hyun said, “No. (Kim Young-woong) also said he was hungry. I ordered shaved ice and it was better than mine.” He said early on, “Yesterday, you slept first. I never slept. I definitely fell asleep after watching him fall asleep first.”

Kim Young-woong, who was in a tight spot, said, “I’ll do what (Lee Jae-hyun’s words) are right.”

The two players who joined the team in 2022 are growing as the main players. Lee Jae-hyun, a graduate of Seoul High School, was nominated in the first round, and Kim Young-woong, who went through the water safe, joined Samsung as the third player in the second round of the same year.

Lee Jae-hyun, who was reborn as the main shortstop last year, underwent surgery after the end of the season. After suffering from dislocation of his shoulder, he underwent Tommy John surgery. Samsung coach Park Jin-man chose Kim Young-woong as shortstop to replace Lee.

Kim Young-woong, who entered his first full-time season as a starting member, has established himself as a mainstay of the batting lineup, boasting upgraded batting capabilities. He displayed his batting instinct as he was assigned to the centerline of the lineup. He has a batting average of 0.309 (29 hits from 94 times at bat), five homers and 15 RBIs, and a slugging percentage of 0.532 in a total of 24 games. He ranks third in batting average, second in hits, tied for first in homers, second in RBIs, and second in slugging percentage among the players who have met the standard number of at-bats in his team. His recent 10 games were even better with a batting average of 0.366 (15 hits from 41 times at bat), three homers and six RBIs.

Lee Jae-hyun also finished his recovery at a monstrous pace and joined the first team sooner than scheduled. He made his comeback against the NC Dinos on the 13th. He made a spectacular return with four hits and one RBI from five times at bat. He played four-hit games for the first time since his professional debut. Since then, Lee Jae-hyun has taken charge of shortstop and Kim Young-woong’s third baseman. Lee Jae-hyun has been batting hard with a batting average of 0.375 (12 hits from 32 times at bat), two homers and seven RBIs, and a slugging percentage of 0.625.

Lee Jae-hyun said, “I have no problem at all because it’s been a while since I raised my physical condition to 100%. The training coaches take really good care of me, so I’m in good condition. I’m not even tired,” adding, “I’m training, vowing not to swing too much into ridiculous balls and hit them accurately. If there is an A-class pitcher or a fastball pitcher, I don’t think he can apply it, so I try harder.”

Regarding Kim Young-woong, coach Park Jin-man said, “He is making a lot of good balls by swinging himself at the plate. It gives me faith that ‘this player can hit no matter what,'” he said. “I can see the pitcher’s confidence even before he throws the ball.”

Kim Young-woong smiled shyly, saying, “You have to be confident,” and then raised his voice saying, “I’m confident.”

Lee Jae-hyun and Kim Young-woong are considered representative runners who will take responsibility for the future of Samsung’s infield. “If we both do well, it will be good for both of us and the team. We have to do well together,” Lee Jae-hyun said. “We are grateful to those who evaluate us as the future. I don’t feel any pressure. I think we need to work harder and do better.”

” (Lee) Jae-hyun is a really good baseball player. There are many things to see and learn. I think it’s good for each other,” Kim said with a smile.

Jeonju High School ‘Ace’ Jung Woo-joo started against Deoksu High School in the final of the 2024 Shinsegae E-Mart Cup National High School Baseball Tournament at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 22nd.

Jung did not take the mound in the semifinal match against Gyeongbuk High School because his shoulder was not in good condition. “I did not play catch ball or warm up before the semifinal match, and I did not warm up. I took it out from the beginning and prepared. I will trust him from the beginning and gain the upper hand,” said Joo Chang-hoon, head coach of Jeonju High School.

The long-awaited final match will take place at Landers Field, home of the SSG Landers. Fans and professional baseball teams are paying keen attention to the game. Scouts from four to five Major League teams, including the San Diego Padres and the Houston Astros, visited Landers Field on the day. Jung Woo-joo was the most interested player in the game, as Deoksu High School and Ace Jung Hyun-woo and Kim Tae-hyung could not take the mound.

Jeonju High School is challenging to win the national championship for the first time in 39 years since 1985. With spotlights pouring into his body, Jung was not in perfect condition.

In the top of the first inning, Jung Woo-joo, who handled Deoksu 1st to 3rd batters neatly with three outs, was shaken rapidly in the second inning.

Jung Woo-joo, who gave up a hit and a walk after one out, handled Um Jun-sang with a fly to left field, but allowed Kim Tae-hyung to hit the ball, forcing the bases loaded with two outs. He then gave up his first run with a walk to Park Hang-yul.

Jung Woo-joo, who had three outs in the third inning, allowed a tie in the top of the fourth inning when Jeonju High School was leading 3-1. After allowing runners to get on base due to shortstop error, Um Jun-sang’s grounder to the pitcher became a bad pitch, and the ball to second base became a bad pitch, allowing a 3-3 tie. Kim Tae-hyung had a timely RBI and a wild pitch from Park Min-seok’s at-bat.

Jeonju High School turned the tables again in the bottom of the fourth inning, taking a 5-3 lead. However, in the top of the fifth inning, Jung walked leadoff hitter Jung Min-seo and grounded out Park Joon-soon, but allowed a superior two-run homer while throwing a fastball to Oh. Again, a 5-5 tie was allowed.

Jung finished the fifth inning without allowing any additional runs, but managed to post 105 pitches with two outs in the sixth inning. He allowed five hits (one homer) in five ⅔ innings, seven strikeouts and four walks, and allowed five runs (three earned). He failed to post a win or loss due to the tying situation.

The contents of Jung’s pitch were regrettable, perhaps because he was nervous because he was waiting for a group of scouts to compete in the final round of the national championship, or because he did not feel well yet. The maximum speed of his fastball, which ranged from 155 kilometers, was 150 to 151 kilometers.
