Melco Crown in talks with junket operators to boost VIP market in City of Dreams Manila

MELCO Crown Resorts, Inc. is in talks with Suncity Group to bring in high rollers to City of Dreams Manila, according to Belle Corp. officials.

During the Belle Corp. stockholders’meeting, Belle Vice Chairman Willy Ocier told reporters that the City of Dreams Manila is increasing its VIP market and targets to go “full blast” after May.

“Activity at City of Dreams Manila has been in line with expectations,” said Belle CFO  Manuel Gana. “Mass market has been fairly healthy. We didn’t have VIPs yet in the first quarter.”

“Since we opened, it’s a process of Melco signing up junket operators so that’s really what has been happening,” Gana added.
