The Guyana Gaming Authority has not yet started looking at new casino licences, according to its head, Manniram Prashad, even as city hotelier Clifton Bacchus forges ahead with plans for his $20 million SleepIn Hotel and Casino on Church Street and is hoping for a favourable response in a timely manner.
“It is a new board, so we haven’t addressed that [SleepIn’s Casino licence] as yet. We want to know what we inherited from the past Gaming Authority management first but licences will be addressed in due course,” Prashad told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted.
“We are sorting out stuff first and looking at some other issues. It is a systematic process and we are working,” he added.
