Philippines, Thailand and Cambodia are keen to capitalise on the development of
Integrated Resorts but due to their jurisdictional limitations on gaming, they are looking
towards new elements that could be introduced to the playing field.
This conference will highlight through various plenary sessions, realworld case studies

diversity. The 3rd Annual Integrated Resorts Conference presents an overview of the
