Tinian Dynasty’s rescuers balk at paying former owners’ $75m fine

Gaming regulators on the island of Saipan will begin testing the gaming systems of Imperial Pacific International Holdings’ new permanent casino this week.

Imperial Pacific subsidiary Best Sunshine International (BSI) is preparing to open its new permanent Saipan casino, the Imperial Pacific Resort, early in 2017. On Wednesday, the Commonwealth Casino Commission (CCC) will inspect the Garapan facility to ensure its gaming offerings meet all regulatory requirements.

Eugenio Sousa, BSI’s VP of security, told the Marianas Variety that the property’s hardware and software systems were ready for the inspection. Sousa also said that security guards were now manning the property around the clock as the grand opening draws ever nearer.

Inspections of a different sort have plagued the in-development casino in recent weeks, leading the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to file a warrant to inspect the construction site after being turned away by the property’s contractor MCC International Saipan Ltd Co.
