Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but Lawrence Ho’s Russian casino has delayed its opening yet again.

Tigre de Cristal, the first casino scheduled to open in Russia’s Primorye region near Vladivostok, has missed several opening dates. It originally planned to open in late 2014, but that was postponed to April 2015, then May, then July, then August and then September.

The latest word is that the casino will have its soft opening on October 8, with the official opening to follow later that month. The First Gambling Company of the East (FGCE), in which the Ho-controlled Summit Ascent Holdings holds a majority stake, blamed the delays on its commitment to custom design, which has been plagued by slow delivery of materials.

Regardless of whether all the elevators have now been fitted out with their solid platinum buttons, the property held a walkthrough last weekend for delegates of the Eastern Economic Forum, which took place in Vladivostok. Some of the slot machines were reportedly even plugged in for delegates to check out.
