My Two Pence

The Culture Secretary has said that there was “no consensus” that a super casino was needed to boost the Manchester economy.  Andy Burnham went on to say that he worries that gambling would become a problem.  It has also been put forward by the government that setting up new theatres, museums, sports centres or shopping centres may be a better course of action.

It was Gordon Brown that promised a policy review on the subject and I think it is not a big surprise that the plan was stopped.  Though, the Manchester city council have said that they intend to appeal against the decision.

The plan initially was to open a super casino with 5,000 meters square for customers to use.  The casino would also have 1,250 unlimited jackpot machines.  It was also expected that the introduction would then prompt other businesses to thrive such as, restaurants, bars, conference facilities, hotels and live entertainment.  Apparently Las Vegas has 30 casino’s that are classed as ‘super’ and the proposed one in Manchester was to be the UK’s first.

The main aim of the project was to encourage regeneration of the area the super casino was to located in.  As a non-gambler I think that it is probably for the best that the plans have not gone ahead.  The council will have to go back to the drawing board and find a more ethical way of encouraging growth within our economy.
