AUSTRALIA'S Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd (PBL), already a major player in the gaming industry, joined forces yesterday with Las Vegas firm Eighth Wonder to bid for Singapore's second casino licence.
Eighth Wonder chairman Mark Advent confirmed the deal with PBL and Hong Kong's Melco International Development Ltd, when he arrived to make his pitch for the licence at a special office set up by the Singapore Tourism Board on Sentosa island, where the casino complex will be built.
