London Set For Super Casino

The largest casino in Britain has come a step closer to becoming a reality after plans for its construction were submitted. A consortium is hoping to build the super casino in East London and hopefully benefit from the redevelopment currently being brought about in the area as a result of the 2012 Olympics.

Although there are plenty of attractive casinos around the country none have been built on this scale before. The consortium planning the project is made up of two giants in the gambling industry, one UK based and the other a Malaysian concern. Reports indicate that the casino will offer more than any similar project in the whole country, making it the most impressive gambling resort in Britain. 

The project is the first in the new breed of super casinos that the government announced its intentions to licence two years ago and in terms of facilities, slot machines and floor space will be larger than anything currently on offer anywhere. 

A similar casino, planned for Manchester, was scrapped earlier in the year after adverse publicity, but there are a further eight large scale complexes that are being considered around the country, with one in Newham already well under construction. 

While building a super casino in today’s current economic climate is considered risky, investors believe that it will provide a focus for gambling in the capital. Such an establishment would be a prestigious attraction to gamblers and casino users the world over and with the Olympics around the corner such a development can only benefit the UK gaming industry.
