President-elect Donald Trump is said to be interested in buying the well-known Club Hotel Casino in Loutraki, which is currently under Israeli ownership.
The Loutraki Casino has been up for sale by Queenco Leizure International Ltd and Club Hotel Investments for the last two years, and has been approached by Paris-based entertainment group Groupe Partouche in May this year and recently by Trump Entertainment Resorts.
According to Greek media, Trump Entertainment Resorts had also expressed interest in the past in constructing a casino at Hellenikon, Athens’ former airport complex, which now awaits an eight-billion-euro project set to develop into a multi-purpose hub complete with metropolitan park, shops, offices, sports and conference facilities, luxury hotels, theme parks, museums, malls, cultural venues, health centres, educational and research facilities and marina.
Meanwhile the other bidder for Casino Loutrsako, Groupe Partouche, wants to expand the venue into a casino city to include exclusive facilities for the accommodation of high-income players as well as infrastructure to host international poker tournaments.
Trump doesn’t own Trump Entertainment Resorts. Carl Icahn acquired the company in bankruptcy in February of 2016. Trump has nothing to do with it.
