They change the CEO's like they change the design of Aquis....What's next?, stay tuned.
Canberra-based Aquis Entertainment Group has appointed ex-Echo senior
executive Aaron Gomes to the role.
The former managing director of Gold Coast’s Jupiters Casino was hired in
July as a consultant to the group’s Canberra property and plans for a $8.15
billion resort and casino at Yorkeys Knob.
Mr Gomes had been working with JNB Gaming on the development of two casinos in the US, including New York’s $425 million Lago Resort and Casino and the $70 million Kansas Crossing Casino.
Mr Gomes has a one-year contract worth more than $700,000.
A statement to the Australian Securities Exchange said “the company and Mr Gomes will negotiate in good faith a further extension to the term in due course”.
Mr Gomes said he was “delighted to have been asked to take the reins”.
“The business plan AQS (Aquis Entertainment) has in place for investment in
expansion in Australian gaming is very exciting,’’ he said.  |

Mr Gomes also will continue his consultancy services to other Aquis Group
entities.
The statement said his “strong credentials in operating and developing casinos, including securing licences, combined with existing positive relationships with Australian gaming regulators, give the board confidence in the future of Aquis Entertainment with Mr Gomes at the helm”.
Residents are sick'n'tired of reading about the "never to be Aquis" so please take it away and bury it, nothing has been done and never likely to.
Cairns is a tourist Regional City NOT a gambling city....stay on the Gold Coast.
