The update, provided during the company’s 4Q22 earnings call, comes after the completion of financing saw a resumption of construction on the highly anticipated Incheon property in February 2022. However, it remains unclear exactly when gaming operations will commence, with Mohegan CEO Ray Pineault stating, “We anticipate project completion and non-gaming opening in the latter part of 2023, with the casino opening shortly thereafter upon licensing.” Pineault explained that construction of Inspire is currently running 4.5% ahead of schedule, with construction as of 31 January 2023 at 43.5%, although greater investment remains on the cards. “Following a comprehensive review of Mohegan Inspire, we anticipate making additional equity investments to fund a variety of items related to the project,” he said. “A significant area of focus is expansion of hotel rooms, convention and meeting rooms plus F&B capacity. “There has been a strong trend in the Korean local market for staycations, and we also want to make sure that our non-gaming amenities are sufficient to capture strong market share and support other programming for the resort, including the arena.” Mohegan Inspire is slated to include three hotel towers, an arena, a foreigner-only casino, dining, retail, convention and entertainment options, a year-round indoor water dome experience and an outdoor family park. 美國部落博彩公司 Mohegan Gaming & Enter- tainment透露，其韓國綜合度假村Inspire Korea 的開發進度較預期快，非博彩產品將於今年晚些 時候開放。 該公司在2022年第四季度財報電話會議期間 披露上述信息。此前，其備受關注、位於仁川的 物業於2022年2月復工。 然而，目前尚不清楚博彩業務將於何時開始 營運。Mohegan首席執行官Ray Pineault表示： 「我們預計項目將在2023年下半年完成，非博彩 業務將在2023年下半年開放，賭場也將在獲牌照 後開放。」 Pineault解釋稱，Inspire的建設目前比計劃 提前4.5%，截至2023年1月31日，建設進度為 43.5%，但仍有可能進行更大的投資。 他表示：「在對Mohegan Inspire進行全面審 查後，我們預計將進行額外的股權投資，為與該 項目相關的各種項目提供資金。」 「重點將擴大酒店客房、會展設施以及餐飲 能力。」 「韓國本地市場的住宿趨勢強勁，我們同時 希望確保我們的非博彩設施足以佔據強大的市場 份額，並支持度假村等其他項目。」 Mohegan Inspire包括三座酒店大樓、一個 綜藝場、一個僅限外國人入內的賭場、餐飲、零 售、會議和娛樂場所、全年開放的室內水上圓頂 體驗和一個戶外家庭公園。
