UK government vetoes Manchester casino prompting possible lawsuit

By Go-Bingo - online bingo news on February 27, 2008 11:53 AM |

The big news sweeping the UK gaming industry is the UK government's decision to veto plans for the construction of a large-scale land-based casino in Manchester.  The decision has resulted in a threatened lawsuit by Manchester City authorities aimed at protecting its plan for improving the city.

For online bingo industry observers, the news of the decision will prompt speculation of a larger shift in the UK gaming market away from land-based gaming to online gaming.  Online bingo halls and online bingo games operators have already been gaining from the slowing down in the crisis-ridden land-based bingo sector.

The government's decision on the Manchester project has sent shockwaves through the Manchester community where it is believed the casino could have brought in 265 million pounds of investment and up to 2,700 extra jobs.
