UK Gambling Bill

[Webzcas]

The UK Gambling Bill has been approved by the House of Lords after the government scaled down plans for eight regional "super-casinos" to just one.

It completed all its Lords stages a week last Wednesday and is set to become law when it returns to the Commons later. The bill appeared doomed until Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell struck a deal with Tories to create just one casino. The bill was approved just prior to parliament being dissolved for the forthcoming UK General Election.

This in my opinion is great news. Already Labour if elected come May are talking about increasing the number of allowed Super Casinos from 1 to 8.

The funniest part is the misnomer "super casino". At 1250 slots there's nothing super about them. In fact, by US standards, they would be downright tiny.

It won't be a "super" casino it will just be bigger than the very small ones we currently have. In addition I doubt it will have a poker room.
