Mayor Josefina Belmonte of Quezon local, Philippines, has issued a stringent prohibition on all local government officials and employees from attending the upcoming Solaire Resort North Casino. Bloomberry Resorts Corp., a publicly traded corporation Cooe based in Quezon City, Philippines, is now in the process of developing this establishment.

According to the Manila Standard, Belmonte stated that the city administration is working together with Bloomberry to create a thorough collection of images of all city government staff. The objective of this project is to efficiently implement and enforce the prohibition on admission. Belmonte further stated that this list will include around 19,000 employees.

Belmonte delivered these statements at the inaugural ‘International Conference on Responsible Gambling and Gaming Addiction’ held in Quezon City. The Philippine Amusement and gambling Corporation (Pagcor), which serves as the gambling regulator in the country, provided support for this event.

The mayor explained that an electronic gadget placed at every entrance to the Solaire Resort North casino would identify any city government official or employee and prohibit their entry into the gaming area. Nevertheless, governmental officials from Quezon City will still be granted permission to enter other areas of the resort.

“Despite the use of disguises such as wigs, masks, or hats, a highly advanced system can still identify a person’s face,” Belmonte added, as quoted by the media source.

The inauguration of Solaire Resort is imminent.

Bloomberry has officially announced that Solaire Resort North will commence operations on May 25th. Solaire Resort North is a $1.0-billion ipl development that covers an area of 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) and has 526 rooms and suites, according to the company’s description. According to Bloomberry, the casino plans to provide a total of 2,669 electronic gaming machines and 163 gaming tables spread out over four levels.

Enrique Razon, the chairman and chief executive of Bloomberry, said in April that Solaire Resort North will reach its maximum operational capacity by 2026.

According to a document released in March by Maybank Securities Inc., Solaire Resort North is projected to account for nine percent of Bloomberry’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) in 2024 and 14 percent of the entire yearly revenue by 2025 as the resort expands its business activities.

Bloomberry manages the Solaire Resort and Casino situated in Entertainment City, which is part of the Metro Manila region. In addition, the corporation oversees the operations of the Jeju Sun Hotel & Casino located in Jeju, South Korea. The corporation has just announced that it has successfully resolved a decade-long legal dispute with Global Gaming Asset Management (GGAM) Philippines LLC, a company with whom it had previously entered into a partnership agreement.

The disagreement emerged when Bloomberry dissolved the mutually beneficial partnership six months after its establishment, claiming that GGAM Philippines failed to fulfill the contractual responsibilities, including the responsibility to attract affluent gamblers to the establishment. Furthermore, concerns were also expressed regarding the arrangement and aesthetic of the casino.
