However, he clarified that final decisions on locations would rest with a national committee. The Ministry of Transport, while involved in feasibility studies, does not have the authority to determine specific sites.<\/p>\n<p>The idea gained momentum after Thailand\u2019s cabinet approved the Entertainment Complex Bill two weeks ago, which aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/thailands-casino-legalization-faces-potential-referendum-due-to-divided-opinions\/\">legalize<\/a> and regulate casinos. The proposed legislation outlines a 30-year licensing period for casinos, with an option to extend for another decade. To qualify, each complex would require a minimum investment of THB100 billion (approximately $2.88 billion).<\/p>\n<p>The bill envisions entertainment complexes as more than just gaming hubs. These facilities would also include hotels, conference centers, and tourist attractions, creating diverse business opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Thailand\u2019s Council of State is currently reviewing the bill and has 50 days to finalize recommendations before it moves to the National Assembly for debate. Meanwhile, Jungrungreangkit mentioned plans to form a committee to assess the feasibility of entertainment complexes in areas like ports, indicating that multiple locations are under consideration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
