Travellers vows to defend casino license

Beleaguered casino operator Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. assured stakeholders it is working doubly hard to have its provisional gaming licensed restored in the wake of the deadly June 2 rampage in Resorts World Manila (RWM).

GMA Network reported that Travellers vowed to rectify whatever the findings of the state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. will be in order to expedite the lifting of the suspension order on its gaming license.

“We know that the suspension was necessary given the incident, but we will cooperate with the authorities in their investigation and at the same time we will work to preserve our license,” Resorts World Manila Director for Corporate Communications Owen Cammayo said, according to the news website. “We assure our stakeholders that we will do all efforts to lift the suspension order.”

On Friday, PAGCOR ordered RWM to “cease and desist all gaming operations while investigation on its liability regarding the June 2 incident is on-going.”
