UK Super Casinos

How many “super casinos” will the entire United Kingdom have? Only one — in Manchester.

As defined by regulators there, a super casino is one with at least 5,000 square meters of area for customers to gamble and up to 1,250 slot machines.  How many does Las Vegas have? 30.  How many are in Asia? Good question…..

Manchester was a 16-1 outsider at the bookmakers to be selected as a test-bed for the UK’s first regional “resort” casino.

There has been speculation that more super-casino licences might be awarded but Ms Jowell told MPs that there would definitely be no more granted during this Parliament.

Any further casinos would have to be approved by parliament and would not be considered until there had been a “proper evaluation over time” of the social and economic effects of the 17 new casinos.
