Diamond Fortune unveil Primorye casino plans; Azov City gaming zone reprieve?

Casino developer Diamond Fortune Holdings has unveiled plans for its gaming project in Russia’s Primorye gaming zone.

On Thursday, Diamond Fortune execs released details of their $900m Selena World Resort & Casino project, which is slated to join Lawrence Ho’s Tigre de Cristal casino, as well as in-development projects from NagaCorp and Royal Time Group in the gaming zone on Russia’s east coast near Vladivostok.

Diamond Fortune says Selena will comprise three distinct venues – Golden Gate, Moon Gate and Sun Casino & Resort – spread across 174k-square-meters of land. The company expects to commence construction of the Sun complex this month, while the two Gate properties won’t get underway until 2018.

Sun Casino & Resort (artist’s impression pictured) will consist of two hotels – one four-star, one five-star – totaling 900 rooms, while its gaming floor will boast 375 gaming tables and 1,800 slot machines.
