Bermuda Gaming Commission Executive Director Richard Schuetz recently announced the designated sites application process now is open. Property owners who want to build an integrated resort casino or a casino on an existing tourist resort in Bermuda may now apply to have the property listed as a designated site, which is required before seeking a casino license. “This is kind of a first step, but we will make it as expeditious a process as we can,” Schuetz said.
Commission Chairman Alan Dunch added, “We are pleased to begin this process of introducing integrated resort casinos onto Bermuda to secure the public policy directives of the Gaming Act, which is to secure enhanced employment for Bermudians and increased investment onto the Island. We believe that a well-regulated commercial gaming experience will increase the tourism appeal of Bermuda, providing the Island with a common and expected amenity by the global tourist market.”
