With Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. allowing changes into its license, Casino resort developer Melco Crown Resorts Corp. unveiled its plans Wednesday, announcing its plans of putting up City of Dreams Manila, which is named after its flagship City of Dreams Macau. The Manila project, which the developer aims to open by middle of 2014, costs $680 million and includes a 260-room crown Towers hotel. With the change of license, the new casino is able to increase the number of gaming tables, slot machines, and electronic gaming tables it can operate. From only 242 gaming tables and 1,450 electronic gaming machines, “City of Dreams Manila is expected to operate up to approximately 365 gaming tables, 1680 slot machines and 1,680 electronic table games upon opening,” reports ABS CBN news. Bring those eyebrows down for a minute; City of Dreams Manila, which is in partnership with SM group’s Belle Corp, could sound like a dream-come-true not just for the developers but for people looking for jobs, as well.
