UNCASVILLE, CT (December 1, 2021) – Four-time Grammy Award winner Keith Urban will kick off his first world tour in four years next summer. The Speed of Now World Tour’s newly announced North American leg will feature three-time Grammy nominee Ingrid Andress, and makes a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:00pm on Friday, October 21, 2022. 

Tickets are $129.50, $99.50, and $79.50 and go on sale Friday, December 10th at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, December 11th, subject to availability.

“Every night is the first time we’ve played these songs for that audience, in that moment,” says Urban.  “It’s why every show is different – spontaneous and unpredictable – even for us!”  He adds, “After two years we’re finally gonna get the chance to play some of the new songs we haven’t done live before.  We’ll throw in a bunch of the songs that everyone comes to hear, a couple of which we’ll rework a bit, and it’s really gonna be tough to get us off the stage.”

Critics from around the globe have hailed Urban’s concerts as ones “not to be missed,” as unpredictable as they are explosive.  Combine his infectious showmanship, virtuoso guitar playing, effortless spontaneity with a fist-pumping, arena-ready arsenal of hits and The Speed of Now World Tour promises to be one of the concert events of the summer.

“I’ve always considered myself a live performer first,” says Urban. “It’s what I’ve always done and it’s what my music needs to live and breathe.  Our shows are all about living in the moment.  They’re a totally interactive and immersive experience where everyone can participate in whatever way they want – sing,…

Even accounting for the smaller population, Connecticut‘s online casino revenue is off to a slow start compared to other iGaming states. Yesterday, the Nutmeg State released its revenue figures for October and its two online gambling operators generated a bit less than $8.9 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR). After promotional deductions, the total is $6.6 million in taxable revenue.

Those figures account for Connecticut online casino revenue gathered during the soft launch, from Oct. 12 to 18, as well as that from the full launch on Oct. 19 through the end of the month.

On that latter date, Connecticut’s two tribal retail casino-licensed operators – DraftKings and FanDuel – launched online casino and sports betting. Also on Oct. 19, the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC) launched PlaySugarHouse Sportsbook – a Rush Street Interactive (RSI) brand. The soft launch period’s contribution to total revenue was probably quite small, as operators had a strict cap on the number of signups during that time.

Michigan’s launch earlier this year is comparable because it also came late in the month, on Jan. 22.

Although Connecticut is home to just 3.6 million residents compared to Michigan’s 10 million, the Wolverine State‘s January 2021 GGR was proportionally much higher – at $29.4 million. Adjusting for both population and days of activity, Connecticut averaged $206,000 per million residents per day (ignoring the soft launch period). Michigan, on the other hand, averaged $326,000.

That came from the nine online casino operators who were live in the state on day one. Since then, Michigan’s has added five more operators and is on course for over $1 billion in iGaming GGR in its first year.

Two-brand limit may make for a smaller market

Connecticut has a limit…

Connecticut’s Governor Ned Lamont announced Wednesday that expanded gamlbing in the state, which began in mid-October with sports betting and online casino games, has generated $1.7 million in revenue. 

The reported amounts up to October 31, limited to less than a month. Online casino gambling brought in $1.2 million and sports betting raised about $513,000. The money will be deposited into the state’s general fund. 

Lamont reflected on these numbers and called them a “great start” and said he is “looking forward to years of success”. He also stated that it is expected that gambling revenue will generate $100 million a year for the state over the next four or five years. 

Rodney Butler, tribal chairman of the Mashantucket Pequots, who own and operate Foxwoods Resort Casino, said he was encouraged by the early results “showing a clear enthusiasm and interest in online sports betting and gaming in Connecticut”. 

“The engagement sets a promising benchmark and we expect the momentum to only build as more consumers get in on the action and the NFL season peaks over the coming months”, he added. 

Slot machine revenue at the two casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, dwarfed what sports gambling and expanded online games raised. Foxwoods posted $317 million in slot revenue in October and Mohegan Sun saw $44.3 million for the month. 

In both casinos, slot revenue rebounded more than 20% from October 2020, when they operated at reduced capacity due to COVID. 

The payment due the state is 13.75% of gross gaming revenue for sports betting and 18% for online casino gaming until 2026 when it will increase to 20%. 

Retail sports wagering through the Connecticut Lottery began on October 25, though a so-called soft launch with limited online gambling and sports betting began earlier that month.

Incheon Free Trade Zone’s image of the future resort complex

A project to create the biggest tourist resort in northeast Asia has taken a step forward after its developers secured $1.5bn in funding.

The Inspire Integrated Resort is to be built in the Incheon Free Economic Zone near the city’s international airport. The first phase will include a five-star hotel with more than 1,000 rooms, a 15,000-capacity concert hall, an indoor waterpark, shopping mall and casino.

The financing success was announced today by the Free Economic Zone. If all goes to plan, Inspire will open in 2023, when it is hoped the Covid-19 pandemic will have subsided and international travel resumed.

The project is being developed by a consortium made up of Connecticut-based Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MGTA), Korean industrial company KCC and UK investor Miura Holdings, in cooperation with Incheon International Airport.

Mohegan agreed the project with the Incheon International Airport Corporation back in June 2015. It said at the time that the resort would “create an epicentre for Korea’s growing entertainment, tourism and hospitality industry”.

Mohegan’s early concept design for the resort

Incheon airport commented that the resort would cement its position as not only “the best airport in the world but also as a top leisure destination in Asia”.

It said: “We look forward to benefiting from MTGA’s expertise and collaborating with our existing partners and 40,000 employees to execute on this vision and deliver exceptional experiences for our guests.”

Incheon plans to develop three resort complexes in the economic zone – Inspire, Paradise City and RFKR.

Paradise City opened in April 2017, but the development of the remaining projects has been delayed by the…

“We have a proven track record in developing and operating leading integrated entertainment resorts in North America with our successes in Connecticut, Las Vegas and Niagara Falls, and we look forward to taking this success abroad as the first American IR launched in Korea,” said James Gessner Jr., Chairman of The Mohegan Tribe and MGE Management Board.

INSPIRE Integrated Resort Co., Ltd. (INSPIRE), MGE’s wholly-owned Korean subsidiary, now has in place the funding needed for the completion of construction of the project, which includes a total of $575 million in equity combining MGE’s $300 million investment and the $275 million raised through global private equity firms, Bain Capital and MBK Partners, and 1.04 trillion Korean won project finance loan (approximately $890 million U.S. dollar equivalent) raised through a three-bank Korean consortium including KB Securities, NH Investment & Securities and Hana Financial Investment, with the participation of Korean financial institutions and with Kookmin Bank Co., Ltd. as facility agent to the loan. Hanwha Engineering & Construction Corp. is the General Contractor for the project, which has provided a completion guarantee as well as a subordinated investment to the project in the amount of 100 billion Korean won (approximately $85.5 million U.S. dollar equivalent). Hanwha Hotel and Resort Co., Ltd. is also participating as a strategic partner of the project and as the hotel operator.

“We anticipate a significant rebound in the tourism and leisure industry following the pandemic, and we look forward to contributing to the Korean economy while at the same time opening and operating a successful, state-of-the-art resort. I’m thrilled to see our international vision for IR development reach this important milestone,” said Bobby Soper, International President for MGE.

The development of the INSPIRE Entertainment Resort is underway within the IBC-III region of the Incheon International Airport, Yeongjong District, Incheon…
