Saipan’s first electronic gaming facility has had its soft opening.

Club C, at Kanoa Resort (pictured) in Chalan Kanoa, launched six months after the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. Pacific territory, passed a law to regulate e-gaming.

Ben Lee, chief executive of the new club’s operator, Strategic Gaming Solutions Inc, is a familiar face to Asian casino industry people from his work as an advisory panel member for the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia conference in Macau.

Mr Lee says the new club will have its formal opening on July 18, and will be targeted at tourists.

Club C currently has 64 machines available for use, out of the total 112 machines already paid for, said Strategic Gaming Solutions’ director Juan ‘Pan’ Guerrero, adding that the initial investment was US$4 million.
