Greece’s Hellenic Gaming Commission has announced that Hard Rock International and a consortium led Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment have officially tendered their bids for the casino project within the stipulated time. These two are the only companies that now remain in the race for Greece’s Hellinikon integrated resort project.

The deadline for gambling operators to submit a proposal had been extended multiple times due to several factors including the official approvals and bureaucracy.

“We have always believed Athens to be one of the world’s great gateway cities and Hard Rock International envisions creating a must-see destination that will help draw from the over 120m annual guests across 74 countries, driving year-round tourism and being an economic driver for Greece,” Jim Allen, Chairman and CEO of Hard Rock International said.

Hard Rock International also confirmed that if they are awarded the project it would take them about 24-26 months to complete the construction work.
