Aspers to open Yarmouth's 4th casino ? | Thread profile

In the 60's and 70's it used to be Mayfair or Knightsbridge where casino operators most desired to set up but now it's Great Yarmouth and as Kasyno points out, the other areas of the UK which were on the CAP's list of areas designated for future "Large" and "Small" operations. The EDP once again reports on casino plans in GY and this time it's the operator of the recently opened...

I'll stick a fiver into both ventures - that's all I can afford to lose

maybe its the prospect of offering up to 150 slots within the large casino that is the attraction? The existing operators with their 1968 Act converted licences are stuck with max of 20. that plus all the other bells & whistles that go with Aspers' concept presumably expect to make it the destination casino of the area. Big question is will it get the footfall?

I have sympathy with your dilemma Mr Shipping Magnate, I have been asked that many times working in the industry, Have i Dealt Punto Banco, It seems to be the first thing management ask you when you turn up for your first day, I also get asked "How long have you been in the industry", Where do you Live", "Describe yourself in 5 words, Do these people in authority look at peoples CVs, I dont think so.

Just for the record let me categorically state that if ANYONE believes Dumfries and Galloway is the marketplace to be in, I will quite willingly join you all in the nut house.

Hi Blackjack, just checked and you are completely right, no casino in Swindon, and the nearest one is 40 miles away. Found an article from the council looking at getting a liscence for a new one. Here is the link for those interested.... http://www.culture.gov.uk/cap/proposals/Swindon.pdf Sounds like a perfect oportunitiy if you have the cash and can find the right location. I've got freinds in the city, and its definately affluent, the...

As has been said before on here, i really don't understand how the plans got approved by the council. When the palace applied it was proven that there was no demand for a 3rd casino, but it got granted anyway and now with the present climate makes the council look greedy as no doubt they just looked at the pennies and pounds and the casinos are left to struggle sharing what little business is left. If the aspers joint venture goes ahead...
