In the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and beleaguered casino operator Imperial Pacific International Holdings Limited has reportedly been told that it will be placed into receivership if it does not pay off a $1.2 million debt by Friday.
According to a report from Inside Asian Gaming, the Hong Kong-headquartered firm is responsible for the American territory’s under-construction Imperial Palace Saipan but has been facing financial collapse owing to a dearth in overseas gamblers caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The source detailed that the operator is moreover facing the imminent loss of its casino license due to its inability to fulfil a multitude of financial obligations including one to former contractor Pacific Rim Land Development said to be worth in the region of $6.8 million.
