Entertainment Gaming betting on success of new club in Poipet

Entertainment Gaming Asia, a leading company focused on emerging gaming markets in Asia, has announced the grand opening of Dreamworld Club in the Cambodian border town of Poipet on May 9.

 

Dreamworld Club, strategically located at one of Cambodia’s most significant border crossings with Thailand, is a standalone slot hall constructed as an extension of a popular casino in the established gaming town. 
It will be the US Nasdaq-listed company’s second Dreamworld development project to open, and aims to set a new standard for gaming in this regional market. 
The US$7.5-million (Bt216-million) internally funded project has been constructed on 4,875 square metres of land and features a comprehensive suite of 300 high-quality gaming machine seats, the company said. 
Dreamworld Club has been operating under a soft open since March 28 and caters to mass-market and VIP premium players visiting from the surrounding areas. 
Clarence Chung, chairman and chief executive officer of Entertainment Gaming Asia, said the club would elevate the gaming experience in this market to a higher level. 
“Its entrance into the established and growing gaming market of Poipet is a positive step in our strategy to become a leading developer and operator of regional casinos and gaming venues in Indo-China.” 
Further, the company continues its efforts to be a responsible citizen in Cambodia and contribute to the growth of its economy, he said. 
Including the Dreamworld Club project, the company has created more than 700 jobs in Cambodia to date.
Entertainment Gaming Asia is engaged in the development and operation of casinos and gaming venues in the Indochina region under its Dreamworld brand, as well as the leasing of electronic gaming machines on a revenue-sharing basis to the gaming industry. 
The company also manufactures and sells RFID (radio-frequency identification) and traditional gaming chips and plaques to major casinos under its Dolphin brand.
