Cyprus’ casino is set to be the largest in Europe, Energy, Tourism, and Commerce Minister Yiorgos Lakkotrypis said on Friday.
Lakkotrypis added that the multi-thematic casino resort to be built in Cyprus will be the biggest in Europe both as regards the number of tables and game consoles.
He said that the casino will enrich Cyprus’ tourist product and will be the only multi-thematic casino in Europe, based on the ones in the US and Asia.
Asked whether on Monday he will receive the report of the advisory committee regarding the third licensing round for hydrocarbon exploration in Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), he said that he expects to receive the report in some days.
Lakkotrypis added that the report will include the suggestions of the committee as to which companies/consortia could proceed to the next step of the negotiation, based on the economic and technical criteria, which have been published already.
The most important thing, he added, is Cyprus’ share in the income from the hydrocarbons and the speed at which the companies will proceed to their drilling.
