Coventry casino looking doubtful
By Andrea Klein, Apr 27th 2007The future of Coventry's £35 million casino at the Ricoh Arena appeared less glowing after two major obstructions.
The first came when Chancellor Gordon Brown slapped an unexpectedly gaming tax on all UK casino, which would slash profits. The second hit was the government's plans for supercasino development being thrown into disarray by the House of Lords. They threw out the deal which would lead to Manchester becoming Britain's first pilot super casino that will have offered unlimited jackpots on up to 1,250 slot machines.
Chris Brammer, from the Isle of Capri's new casino at the Ricoh Arena ready for its opening on July 6, said he is disappointed by the news. The huge complex at the Ricoh would include restaurants, bars, a private gaming room and a spectacular entrance with two waterfalls - one 70feet high.
