To be known as The Base, PH Resorts Group’s Clark IR was being prepared on 4.4 hectares of land within Udenna Group’s 177-hectare Clark Global City, with 600 electronic gaming machines, 100 gaming tables and 400 hotel rooms plus retail space and restaurants. It had been scheduled to open in 2022 but the company announced that its local subsidiary, Clark Grand Leisure Corp (CGLC), has asked PAGCOR for a voluntary suspension of its license “due to some lingering uncertainties surrounding the casino gaming industry, especially with more competition in the Clark, Pampanga location.” The voluntary suspension, which can be lifted at a later date pending PAGCOR approval, will also allow PH Resorts Group to focus its resources on the construction and development of its larger IR project, the Emerald Bay Resort and Casino, in Cebu, it said. Emerald Bay is currently on track for a full opening by 3Q22 with Phase 1 to include 122 gaming tables, 600 EGMs and 270 hotel rooms. PH RESORTS GROUP 表示，其已經請求並獲得菲律賓 博彩監管機構PAGCOR的批准，自願暫停其早前獲得的 在克拉克開發綜合度假村的臨時牌照。 PH Resorts Group的 Clark綜合度假村名為「The Base」，位於Udenna Group佔地177公頃的Clark Global City城內，佔地4.4公頃，將包括600台角子機、100張賭 枱、400間酒店客房，外加零售空間及餐廳。 其原定於2022年開業。但該公司宣佈，當地的子 公司Clark Grand Leisure Corp (CGLC)已向PAGCOR 請求自願暫停牌照，「由於圍繞著博彩行業存在著一些 無法擺脫的不確定性，尤其在邦板牙克拉克地區的競爭 更加激烈。」 該公司表示這一自願暫停申請也將使PH Resorts Group得以將資源集中在其更大的IR項目——位於宿 霧的Emerald Bay Resort and Casino的開發建設 上。 Emerald Bay目前有望在2022年第三季度開業。 第一階段將包括122張賭枱、600台角子機和270間酒店 客房。
