Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment (MGE), Hard Rock Cafe and Genting have shown interest to participate in the bid for the future Elliniko casino. The bidding process for the future casino in Elliniko, Greece, will end next month.

Mario Kontomerkos, CEO of MGE has visited Greece a number of times since the government announced the casino. The company has also revealed a local partner for the development. Mohegan joined the construction firm GEK Terna to push for the gaming licence at Greece’s €8 billion project.

GEK Terna’s “reliability, effectiveness and deep knowledge of the Greek market will help us fulfil our vision for the Hellinikon area,” Mario Kontomerkos said.

The government expects no extensions to the deadline for submitting the bids. They also said that they are not expecting any problems in the upcoming weeks.
