Supersize the Slot Machines

Though it is not completely approved yet, it seems that the first supercasino in Britain will be located a mere 200 miles outside of the capital city. There were three main cities under consideration for the slot machines and supercasino, and throughout the consideration period most agreed that Manchester was the least likely of the cities to win the right to open Britain’s first mega slot machines casino. The other cities considered include both Blackpool and Millennium—both of these were speculated as the top contenders for the slot machines.

But it seems that Manchester had a little extra something in its proposal, and the Casino Advisory Panel agreed that Manchester both needed, and could handle the huge amount of slot machines and gambling the supercasino would bring. Beyond just that, the Panel cited other reasons as to why Manchester’s claim to the supercasino outweighed the other cities. First off, the city shows great need of the funds the slot machines and gambling could bring, and equally as important, Manchester spent the time and energy to assure citizens that the casino would be a benefit to the town.

But now, that was only the first step—Manchester is still not the official home of the supercasino. Though the Panel settled on Manchester, their decision is merely a recommendation to the lawmakers and the Cultural Secretary Tessa Jowell. Jowell and the lawmakes will take into consideration the Panels well-thought out decision, but there is still a chance they could choose another city over Manchester to receive the slot machines.

This new supercasino is an exciting prospect for the country as it will bring in an additional 1,250 slot machines and many other gambling opportunities. Though the county will have smaller slot machines parlors throughout various cities, the supercasino will have over a thousand more slot machines, and certainly more amenities. The smaller casinos have only one main restriction to adhere to: a maximum of 150 slot machines. But that would stop these smaller slots parlors from bringing in revenue as they can have unlimited table gaming as well.
