Non Cash Prizes Supercasino controversy fires up
The ongoing debate over the location of the UK’s first super-casino has flared up again, with a minister claiming that the government has no plan in place to support the original decision made by the Casino Advisory Panel.
Earlier this year, the panel decided that Manchester would make the ideal location for the sole super-casino, much to the surprise of many.
Under the initiative, the long-deprived east side of the city would benefit from a significant programme of regeneration, with as many as 3,000 jobs also being created in the area.
However, despite approval from the House of Commons, the House of Lords blocked the plan, giving some encouragement for the supporters of Blackpool’s bid for the gaming site.
Commenting on the future of the scheme, the minister in charge of gambling, Richard Caborn, told the Manchester Evening News: “We have not got a position on it at present.
“The Lords decided not to accept the recommendations and we are still considering what the next step will be,” he added.
Manchester’s supporters were given a recent boost when Gordon Brown, expected to be the next prime minister, announced that he had backed the city’s original bid and was keen for the proposals to go be passed.
