MGM、大阪のカジノリゾート獲得で有力提携へ=関係筋

MGMとオリックスが参加するのコンソーシアムは日本で政府がカジノリゾートを選定する上で有力視されている。

FitchのアナリストAlex Bumazhny氏は、サンズやメルコの大阪撤退は、すでに強力な競争相手であったMGM/オリックスのコンソーシアムが大阪でのでRFP[提案依頼書]を獲得する可能性を確実に高めているためとしている。

しかしまだ大阪から撤退を表明していないGentingグループやWynnリゾーツにも可能性はあるとしている。

MGM strong chance as Osaka casino bid partner: analyst

A consortium containing United States-based casino operator MGM Resorts International and Japan’s Orix Ltd is likely now to be a front-runner for selection as private-sector
partner to Osaka (pictured) in that Japanese metropolis’ effort to be allowed a casino resort.

That is according to an analyst from Fitch Ratings Inc in commentary to GGRAsia. It was in response to our enquiry regarding the impact of, and reasons for, respective decisions by U.S.-based Las Vegas Sands Corp, and
then by Asia-based Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd, not to pursue any further their interest in partnering with the Osaka authorities on such a casino pitch to Japan’s national government.

.“The exit of Las Vegas Sands and Melco [Resorts] from Osaka certainly increases the probability that the MGM/Orix consortium,
which was already a strong contender, wins the RFP [request-for-proposal] there,” Fitch analyst Alex Bumazhny told us in emailed remarks

“However, a handful of other operators that have not pulled out [of Osaka] yet, such as Genting [Group] and Wynn [Resorts Ltd], also have a decent chance,” the Fitch analyst noted.
