Bally’s chair Soo Kim details Star Entertainment Group salvation plan

In an exclusive one-on-one interview with Inside Asian Gaming from the show floor of ICE Barcelona, Bally’s Corp Chairman Soo Kim discusses his plans to bring Star Entertainment Group back from the brink.

A month since he also took on the chairmanship of Star, Kim discusses new and upcoming cost-cutting initiatives, his early findings on why Star has underperformed, his dealings with Star’s Hong Kong partners and why this opportunity is seen as so valuable.

Bally’s Corp and its partner Investment Holdings Pty Ltd recently acquired a combined 61% stake in Star, which owns and operates three integrated resorts in Sydney, the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
