Blackjack and casino poker variants play for VND200,000 (US$9) and up. Roulette, with bets ranging from VND50,000 to VND1 million on 35:1 plays, with larger bets on lower odds plays, and sic bo are popular. Corona is considering adding niu-niu (also known as ngau ham), a favorite card game in Cambodian casinos. “Still early days,” Corona’s Vice President of Gaming Operations Danie Van Vuuren says. CORONA DOLLARS Corona has deployed just over half of its 1,000 allotted machines so far. The main floor also has a 125-seat multigame stadium – the tables count against the allocation, not the terminals – with a 16 meter by 4 meter screen comprised of 12 component screens that can show separate items or a single program. Electronic gaming machines are denominated in Corona dollars, dong minus three zeros; a 10 cent unit equals VND10,000. A bar with entertainment nightly and 24-hour noodle shop with Vietnam’s famous pho noodle soup are integrated into the main floor. Japanese and fusion restaurants, plus the Whiskey and Cigar Bar with dark walls and a marble fireplace, provide more formal refreshment options. High limit and VIP areas off the main floor have games denominated in Hong Kong and US dollars, rather than dong. “Otherwise the numbers get too big,” Milosheski says. Most rooms have four tables and can be split into separate spaces with two tables. There’s also a VVIP space with its own separate entrance, four tables and its own cage. RED LIGHT DISTRICT Above the main gaming floor, there’s a mezzanine area for junket play and a small night club called Red Light. This upper level VIP area can be entered directly from the Vinoasis hotel. “Very private,” Milosheski says. The top floor of the Radisson Blu houses a sky casino. Reached by private elevator, this VIP area has 「更亮麗和更讓人愉快的地方」 在Corona的中心是由Paul Steelman設計的賭場,展現出與 現代越南的味道和設施本身位處海邊的特色。Steelman Partners 的行政總裁表示,在主要博彩空間中鮮艷無比的紅色、黃色及橙 色,代表著「照射富國島海灘的陽光」,以製造出一個「更亮麗和更 讓人愉快的地方。」於去年五月在「亞洲娛樂大獎」中,Corona被提 名過最佳娛樂場獎及最佳亞洲綜合度假村獎。 以荷蘭為基地的Upffinity Gaming Management為PQTDIC 營運著娛樂場。就與其項目合夥人Vingroup以及在富國島的款待 業對手Sun Group一樣,PQTDIC由生活於前蘇聯這個越南在冷 戰時期堅實盟國的越南僑民創立。同時是Upffinity營運總裁的Mi- losheski,也有於俄羅斯的賭場工作過,並會與以俄語跟PQTDIC 的領導層交談。 Corona在其1.88萬平方米博彩區域內,得到政府授權可根據 項目投資設置1百張賭枱及1千部角子機,中場範圍有30張以越南 盾結算的賭枱。而最多的賭枱遊戲就是百家樂,最低的投注額為 100萬越南盾(43美元),最大投注額則是2億越南盾(8600美元)。 廿一點及各種賭場撲克遊戲最低投注額則為20萬越南盾(9 美元),輪盤的投注額度從5萬越南盾到35:1的100萬越南盾都有, 當中較細的機率的投注額比較高。骰寶亦十分受歡迎。Corona正 在考慮加入又稱為ngau ham的niu-niu,是一種在柬埔寨賭場很 受歡迎的卡牌遊戲。 「前面還有很長的路呢。」Corona的博彩營運副總裁Van Vuuren如是說。 金冠銀錢 Corona現時只用上了它被允許設置的1千部博彩機器中的一 半限額多一點。主要博彩空間中亦有一個125座的多遊戲場館— 那裏的賭枱數量不是按終端機來計算,而是按設置量來計算—當 中有一個16米乘4米的大螢幕,由12個螢幕所組成,可以分別顯示 多個項目或者只顯示一個系統的影像。電子博彩機器以Corona的 代幣結算,就是在越南盾後減三個位,即是10仙代幣相等於1萬越 南盾。 那裏有一間提供晚上娛樂的酒吧,並且有廿四小時營運的麪 店供應越南著名的河粉,這些都被融入到主樓層裏面。日式及融 合菜式的餐廳,加上擁有黑沉牆身和一個雲石壁爐的威士忌及雪 茄吧,則提供更正式的提神消閒選項。 而在主要博彩空間外的高限額及貴賓區域,就以港元或美元 而非越南盾結算。 「若非如此,數字就會變得太過龐大。」Milosheski解釋道。大 部分房間都有4張賭枱,並且能夠每兩張分隔出一個獨立空間,而 且還有一個特別貴賓區域,擁有自己的出入口、4張賭枱以及獨立 的帳房。
