Cyprus Casinos (C2), the first legal casino facility in the Republic of Cyprus, welcomed 34,000 individual guests during its first three months of operation, owner Melco International Development said in a statement from earlier today.
The venue opened doors June 28 in the city of Limassol. It will operate briefly while Melco’s chief integrated hotel City of Dreams Mediterranean is under development. The €550-million property is anticipated to open doors in Limassol in 2021.
Cyprus Casinos or C2 currently features 242 slot machines and 33 gaming tables, a Salon Prive VIP gaming area, a restaurant, and 2 bars.
Melco further disclosed today that 6,000 customers have registered with the casino’s C2 Rewards Club loyalty program since it launched.
Commenting on the gaming venue’s operation during its first months of operation, Cyprus Casinos and Town of Dreams Mediterranean President Craig Ballantyne said that visitor numbers have exceeded their expectations so far. The official further pointed out that customers from 41 different nations have come to play in the home. The majority of them were Cypriots, followed by patrons from Greece, Israel, Romania, Russia and the Uk. Slots and American Roulette were the matches that enjoyed the best popularity among casino visitors, Mr. Ballantyne added.
Whilst Melco appears to be content with how its very first property outside Asia has played during its first days of operation,” Mr. Ballantyne has said that the casino is made to battle competition from Northern Cyprus where there’s a well-developed casino sector represented by a number of recognized casino properties.
Speaking to local news outlet Cyprus Mail, Mr. Ballantyne has also stated that the multitude of illegal casino surgeries propagate across the tiny Mediterranean country may end up being tricky to compete with. The official, recognized for a casino industry veteran, has explained that the play area is somewhat irregular, particularly given the fact that Cyprus has very rigorous advertising limitations which forbid Melco from boosting its casino more actively.
Regardless of the aforementioned issues, Mr. Ballantyne said today that the accelerating attendance rate in the home is the result from a favorable word of mouth and self-discovery.
The company has pointed out several times that it would seem to combat seasonality and flip the two its temporary casino and its main resort to an abysmal destination. Seasonality has been among the chief problems before Cyprus’ tourism market.
Australian visits to the island country have been on the increase over the previous several years, but summertime have traditionally remained the most popular time for visiting. The Cypriot government announced earlier this month that it might establish a particular Junior Ministry of Tourism that would be assigned the task to reverse that longstanding trend.
