Land-based casinos

The land-based casino market in Papua New Guinea is small and developing pointwise: projects are focused on Port Moresby and other tourist and business hubs (large hotels, multifunctional complexes).

Format - compact halls with slots/EGMs, electronic roulette and a limited set of tables (roulette, blackjack, baccarat); VIP zones are possible in premium facilities.

Entrance - 18 +, KYC/eKYC, AML/CFT, video surveillance, cash control and responsible play programs are required.

Settlements are carried out in PGK, cash and bank cards are widespread; service includes bars/restaurants, events and hotel infrastructure.

Trends: renewal of the slot fleet, stricter compliance, transition to cashless solutions and integration with hotel loyalty systems.

Further growth is possible through new concessions and linking to tourism and MICE events, subject to regulatory requirements and a sustainable operating model.
