MANILA, Philippines - Leisure & Resorts World Corp. (LRWC) will invest as much as P3 billion in a $1 billion casino venture with Sy-led upscale leisure developer Belle Corp. and Macau casino firm Melco Crown Entertainment.

LRWC turned over to Melco the task of managing and operating the integrated casino and hotel complex Belle is building within the 100-hectare Entertainment City along Manila Bay, in exchange for a share in the project’s earnings.

LRWC was originally supposed to manage the casino and split EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) evenly with Belle for a 10-year time frame. Belle and LRWC, however, decided to amend their earlier arrangement to make way for the entry of Melco.
