Greece has extended the deadline for submitting applications for a license for the development and operation of a casino resort near Athens to June 28. Interested bidders previously had until May 31 to notify the Hellenic Gaming Commission about their interest to run a casino complex as part of a larger, €8 billion, integrated resort.
The Greek gambling regulator said on Monday that that previous deadline would be extended to June 28 but did not disclose the reason behind its decision, but it is suggested that is due to zoning issues and pending ministerial decisions.
It also became known that companies interested to participate in the bidding process have told the Greek gambling commission that they needed time to review the zoning plan for the property.
This is the third deadline extension for companies to submit their bids for the casino portion of the larger integrated resort scheme. The Hellenic Gambling Commission finally launched the bidding process in February after multiple previous delays. The regulator set an April 22 deadline, but then pushed it back to May 31.
When the winning bidder is finally selected, they will be granted a 30-year license for the development and operation of a casino complex that, as mentioned earlier, will be part of a larger integrated resort.
