Jeju Sun Hotel and Casino, which the renovated location will be known as, will be a “world-class” facility when it opens its doors later this month, Bloomberry chief Enrique Razon said.

“This is our first operating overseas property and we exerted much effort to put in place the ambiance and amenities that would enrich the gaming experience,” he said.

Jeju Sun will boast more than 2,000sq.m of gaming space and 200 hotel rooms. It will offer guests baccarat, roulette, sic bo, blackjack, and electronic games and slot machines.

The first stage of the casino’s refurbishment began in May and a second phase of development is due to be completed in December.
