Inside Asian Gaming’s Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott caught up with Bally’s Chairman Soo Kim  just hours after confirmation that Bally’s was approved to take a controlling stake in Star Entertainment.

Andrew W Scott: Soo Kim, you’re obviously a busy man, you’re always travelling from one place to another, and thank you so much for speaking to us on what is a very auspicious day for your company. You’ve just passed probity for Star Entertainment. Congratulations.

Soo Kim: Thank you. We’re very excited. It’s been a long time coming. I had to check when we actually did the deal. Initially it was back in April and we got through the shareholder vote in June. We were hoping to move quickly after that, but it has taken to November, but that’s okay and you know we are just as excited, if not more excited today than we were back in April.
