“Creating Mohegan’s inaugural Asian Resort, Inspire, was a delight, drawing upon the design ethos of Mohegan Sun, a prominent figure in Integrated Entertainment Resort development.

Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort could outpace rivals, according to CBRE.

South Korea.- CBRE Capital Advisors has forecast that the Mohegan INSPIRE Entertainment Resort, the recently launched casino complex in South Korea, will achieve positive cash flow within its first three years of operation. The resort had a soft opening in November and launched gaming on February 3. It was the first time in almost two decades that a new foreigner-only casino has opened in South Korea.

CBRE analysts Colin Mansfield and Connor Parks foresee a mature annual EBITDA of approximately US$150m with robust margins and debt service coverage in its ramp-up phase. They said the project has access to an estimated US$179m in cash as of December 31, 2023, earmarked for construction payables and preopening expenses.

The report says the casino could have a faster ramp-up than its competitor, Paradise City, due to a less phased opening and a wide range of non-gaming amenities. Analysts believe that Mohegan Inspire can outperform Paradise City because of its greater focus on slots and larger room base. The report expects the average win-per-unit-per-day to be in line with the average in Asia, except for Macau and Singapore, which far exceed casinos in South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Cambodia.

The casino has over 150 table games, 390 slot machines, and 160 electronic table games (ETG). It has a floor for VIP guests featuring a Guandong-style restaurant. Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) posted net revenue of US$425.2m for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2023-2024, up 4.6 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

For the first time in eight years, the WNBA Draft will be open to fans looking to get a glimpse of the league’s newest crop of superstars.

The league’s 28th annual draft is set to take place on April 15 with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announcing the draft picks at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a famed performing arts theater that is just minutes away from Barclays Center.

About 1,000 tickets will be sold for this year’s draft, the league announced Wednesday. It’s the first time the draft will have fans in attendance since the 2014-16 drafts were held at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“We are focused on creating elevated events that WNBA fans won’t want to miss, at a time when the energy for the WNBA has never been higher,” Engelbert said in a statement. “Last season resulted in our most-watched regular season in over two decades, our highest total attendance in 13 years and set record figures across WNBA digital and social platforms.”

Last year, Spring Studios in Manhattan hosted the 2023 WNBA Draft, where the Indiana Fever selected eventual unanimous Rookie of the Year winner Aliyah Boston with the No. 1 overall pick. The Fever are again slated to have the first selection in this year’s draft.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, Stanford’s Cameron Brink, Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson, LSU’s Angel Reese and South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso are the biggest names heading into April’s draft.

Clark has yet to declare for the draft, but is the consensus No. 1 overall pick, according to multiple mock drafts. The owner of the NCAA women’s scoring record said she won’t make her decision until after the end of the collegiate season.

Brink, Cardoso and Reese could also return to college for the 2024-25 season.
