Jamaica has been waiting for a casino resort ever since the legislation to do so was passed in 2010, however the Minister of Finance Dr Nigel Clarke is again pushing the idea and has officially announced that Wednesday 6th October the island will invite interested operators to tender for the exclusive resort which will also allow for a casino.
Should the lucky applicant convince a 10 person panel set up to evaluate any applications that there proposal is worthy of building a 1,000 room resort they will be allowed to apply to the Casino Gaming Commission for a casino resort license.
Any company interested will have to offer to spend upwards of $500 million, the Minister said of the plan, “It is our intention, with the lack of this product in Jamaica, to eventually have a casino gaming resort, and, also, it is our intention to attract hundreds of millions, if not billions, of investments via this means.”
