MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - December 28, 2010) - CGAQ announced today that it will bring in the New Year with the opening of its Casino Luperon. Initially, the event was scheduled for an earlier date. However, management made an executive decision to maintain its consistent course of action that provides a quality service to investors and clients alike, rather than push risk boundaries too far.
CEO Steven Swank stated, "We are an acquisition company which focuses on the gaming industry, we understand risk. As we have mentioned in past releases, it is a different world of business here in the Caribbean. Our job is to ensure we maintain a quality investment for our shareholders, which allows each to participate in the growth opportunities available, without leaving their desk."
CGAQ outlined the series of Caribbean events that encompass the reasoning for the executive decision to change the grand opening date until time of completion. The course of events had affected both the timing and risk of commencing operations at Casino Luperon on December 20th.
Mr. Swank continued, "When we originally posted the grand opening to take place, we were ahead of schedule. However, as happens in the Dominican Republic, Customs delayed material shipments for nearly a week after delivery. Upon receipt of the material, our timing was perfectly aligned with 2 weeks of torrential down pours of rain.
"The down pours we experienced were actually a gift in disguise. We noticed undisclosed leaks that risked the electrical system, lighting investment, slot machines and infrastructure of the location via electrical surges the leaks may have caused."
Upon the repairs made to the structure's ceiling, CGAQ continued its improvements to the electrical system including a UPS System with surge protectors. The carpets are being installed, the slot machines will be placed and the tables will be moved in thereafter. The company has its casino staff ready and excited to get to work.
Mr. Swank commented, "The challenges involved with a profit center in the Caribbean are vast, however patience and perseverance continue to lead us to an expansion rate beyond most companies' ability."
