While the Casino City Caribe is still in its development stage, the project has garnered all the necessary support and is ready to forge ahead.<\/p>\nDesigned by a Vancouver-based studio Patti Rao Project, the layout of the resort has already been approved by Costa Rica\u2019s Ministry of Environment along with the Costa Rica Tourism Board (CRTB), and the local government of Matina.<\/p>\n

Later on, as work draws to completion, 1,500 total jobs will be created. Because of the ambitious undertaking of the developers, stages do not have a clear-cut deadline and the project will adapt to the time frames as it sees fit.<\/p>\n
