Description
U.S.-based tribal casino operator Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment confirmed in a press release on Wednesday that it has appointed Christian Bullock (pictured), who runs the company in Niagara Falls, Ontario, South Korea and Canada, as the company's "regional president."
Mr. Block most recently served as vice president of casino at Landing Entertainment Korea Limited, a subsidiary of Landing International Development, a Hong Kong-listed casino investor. He left the group "between late 2018 and January," according to an April statement sent by Landing International to GGRAsia.
A LinkedIn page named Mr. Block had already indicated in April that the casino executive was working as the "regional chairman" of Mohegan Gaming at the time. The company is one of the investors of a new casino resort called Project Inspire in Incheon, near the Korean capital of Seoul.
According to a press release on Wednesday, Mr. Block reported to Michael Silverling, chief operating officer of Mohegan Gaming.
"Block will ensure that day-to-day compliance and regulatory controls are met, along with his support for these important international investments," the filing added. Block is described as having more than 30 years of global gaming and integrated resort experience through senior positions in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, as well as Asia.
The $5 billion Project Inspire is being developed in stages. According to Mohegan Gaming, the first phase will open in late 2021. It will feature a three-tower hotel, store, and foreigner-only casino and entertainment amenities (including a 15,000-seat indoor arena and outdoor performance space).
Mario Konterkos, president and chief executive officer of Mohegan Gaming, said in May that he had received "all necessary construction permits and approvals" for Mohegan Gaming's first foray into Asia.
On Wednesday, Mohegan Gaming further said it would acquire the Folesview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara's casino business in the city of Niagara Falls. The company will also be responsible for the operation of the 5,000-seat Niagara Entertainment Center under construction.
