/PRNewswire/ -- OJSC Nash Dom Primorye,

a wholly owned government corporation of the Primorsky Territory government

of

Russia

, has issued a Request for Concepts (RFC) process inviting global

investors to develop integrated resorts with casino gaming components, at its

Integrated Entertainment Zone (IEZ). Aspiring investors must register their

company details at http://www.iezprimorye.com to download the RFC

documents. All RFC submissions should reach Nash Dom Primorye by

September 21, 2012

at

3pm

(

Vladivostok

time).

Nash Dom Primorye announced its Notice of Intent to issue a RFC at the Global

Gaming Expo (G2E)

Asia

in

May 2012

. The IEZ aims to capitalize upon the

significant economic growth of

Asia

's economies. The zone, located

approximately 20km from the new

Vladivostok

International Airport is one of

four designated zones in

Russia

that will allow legalized casino gaming activity.

It is the only zone with direct access to

Asia

and is only a 2-hour flight from both

Seoul

and

Tokyo

.

Vladivostok

will host the 2012 Asia-Pacific Economic

Cooperation (APEC) Summit later this September.

General Director of Nash Dom Primorye, Marina Lomakina, stated, "The RFC

process will streamline communication, allowing more structured and

transparent exchanges with global investors. While casino gaming is legal in the

zone, we are looking for concepts that focus on tourism development. Every

effort is being made to ensure that global investors are confident in the

business environment of Primorye. We look forward to receiving RFC responses

that capitalize upon

Vladivostok

's strong linkages with

Asia

."

Nash Dom Primorye will manage the RFC process and has designated world-

recognized public policy advisors Galaviz & Company LLC to assist in providing

guidance on global best practices. The process will be transparent, structured

and follow international best practices, aligned with the Russian government's

aim to boost foreign tourism and economic development in the Far East

Region.

"We believe the IEZ will create a compelling experience for Asian tourists

seeking a destination that is near, but culturally different. We also believe that

investors will be interested in the tourism and casino gaming potential of the

IEZ," added Ms. Lomakina.
