UK Official:
No Casino Front-Runner
As reported by the UK
Stage: "Minister for Sport and Gambling
Richard Caborn has said that there is no front-runner
in the race to become host to the UK's first
super-casino, as he appointed the panel to decide
where 17 casinos created by the new Gambling
Act will be located.
"The board's decision will affect
entertainers across the country looking to perform
in one of the new sites, which, as revealed
in The Stage, will all have the potential to
host live entertainment. In particular, the
one regional casino, or super-casino, is expected
to represent a significant source of work for
light entertainers.
"…Wherever the casinos are located,
they are expected to help create jobs and bring
significant investment to the region. A survey
recently commissioned by Glasgow City Council
revealed that a regional casino in the Scottish
city would generate £200 million for the
area's economy."
