Saipan is a commonwealth of the United States, located in the Marianas Island chain. Best Sunshine, a subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed Imperial Pacific International Holdings, fought a rival group of Hong Kong-based investors for the exclusive right to open casinos on Saipan two. // Best Sunshine Casino ABOUT US The Saipan Tribune gives its readers timely, accurate, balanced, and wide-ranging coverage of what is happening in the Northern Mariana Islands and around the globe.

The Best Sunshine International Casino is a massive casino-resort that is currently being constructed in the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands. The overall cost of the project is estimated to be around $7 billion and the project will be completed in five phases.

Imperial Pacific International, the parent company that owns Best Sunshine managed to get a license to operate a temporary casino that opened to the public on the 26th of July 2015.

The casino has had an impressive six months since then and recently reported that its VIP clientele brought in more than $1.5 million during November 2015 and the casino wants to concentrate on this market segment in the coming months. The company will rely heavily on junket operators who are specialists in bringing over a consistent stream of these VIP gamblers.

Most of these VIP gamblers come from Mainland China and the collapse of Macau’s VIP market due to the anti-corruption campaign means that these VIP gamblers are now looking for a new place to play. Best Sunshine is currently in the process of accepting junket operator applications after the Commonwealth Casino Commission (CCC) announced that it had finally approved guidelines and regulations for junket operators to function in Saipan.

The success of the Best Sunshine casino will be tied heavily to these junket operators and the amount of VIP traffic they are able to generate every month. A number of junket operators have been severely affected by Macau’s casino market crash and a few of them have been forced out of business. These junket operators now have a golden opportunity to tie up with Best Sunshine and develop a long term business relationship.

In a statement, Edward C Deleon Guerrero, the executive director of the CCC said

The success of Best Sunshine, or the [Tinian] Dynasty, or Alter City [Group] or any other” casino in this part of the world is “through this program, the junket. Basically, they are the travel agency going around the world to get VIPs to come to Saipan

The biggest difference in regulation between the role of junket operators in Macau and Saipan will be the level of control that the junket operators are given. In Macau, junket operators have been used to having their own VIP rooms at the casino and controlling what happens. In Saipan, this will not be the case as Best Sunshine will run the VIP room and employ the pit boss and licensed dealers at the table.

Saipan’s Best Sunshine International Casino plans to hire 180 experience U.S. casino workers, including dealers, cashiers, and shift managers. Saipan is a commonwealth of the United States, located in the Marianas Island chain. The inhabitants of the island of 48,220 people are considered U.S. citizens and the island is governed by American federal laws. Any of the 8,000 Atlantic City casino employees who lost their job due to closings in 2014 are welcome to apply.

The only catch for the Atlantic City casino workers is this: the Best Sunshine International Casino is 8,000 miles away from Atlantic City. Still, the new employment opportunity is a chance to see a far-flung part of the American landscape, while enjoying exotic customs and scenery.

Job Fair in Atlantic City

The job search was conducted by Renard International Hospitality Search. RIHS held a job fair on Wednesday and Thursday this week in Atlantic City. Best Sunshine Casino is offering a signing bonus to any experienced casino workers willing to relocate by July 10, 2015. To do so, they would have to be willing to move to the U.S. Commonwealth in the Northern Mariana Islands.

Signing Bonuses Offered

Besides the signing bonus, pay starts at $40,000 for casino workers and $45,000 to $70,000 for management positions. The full package of benefits includes free travel between Saipan and Atlantic City, health insurance, free accommodations, and one free meal during working hours.

The owners want to hire people with experience who know the language and can cater to a group of tourists which includes American vacationers and local residents, along with Asian high-rollers and mass market players.

While gaming at the Best Sunshine International Casino is likely to be slightly different than in the United States–due to the influx of Asian gamblers–most of the games are likely to be quite similar to what was played at the Showboat, Revel Casino, Trump Plaza, and Atlantic Club. When those 4 Atlantic City casinos closed in 2014, eight thousand jobs were lost. Subsequent stories show that many of the casino employees never found gainful employement in the months since.

Revel Casino Reopening

Casino workers who do not care to relocate might be able to find a job at the Revel Casino in the near-future. Glenn Straub, who purchased the casino for $83 million earlier this spring, says the Revel will not reopen anytime this summer. Still, he expects to open for business later in 2015. When this happens, the Revel Casino is likely to hire over a thousand dealers, cashiers, and managers.

The islands were also the site of a naval battle, The Battle of the Philippine Sea (June 19-20), also dubbed the A-Go Offensive. In the so-called “Marianas Turkey Shoot”, this battle led to the destruction of 3 Japanese aircraft carriers and about 50% of its remaining naval air power, thus ending Japan’s ability to conduct major naval operations in the Pacific. Due to the loss of Saipan, Guam, and Tinian, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo fell from power in Japan, because he had been unable to keep his promise that the US would never break through the Japanese home island’s defensive perimeter.

Possession of the Marianas allowed the United States to send Boeing B-29 Superfortress long-range bombers to bomb the Japanese mainland, due to its proximity within 1,500 miles of Japan. Over the course of the next year, the U.S. Army Air Corps pounded Japanese cities, eventually laying waste to all but the holy city of Kyoto, which was spared. From nearby Tinian Island in August 1945, the US launched the atom bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
