Opinion: Only one winner in North-West's casino gamble

25 June 2004

There's a whole set of glittering jackpot prizes awaiting regenerators next year - in casinos. Despite mutterings from anti-gambling Old Labourites, this New Labour Government is determined to push on with its Gambling Bill. Now in draft, it will go into Parliament next session and is almost certain to become law next summer. But the big question, for regenerators as well as punters, is exactly who hits the jackpot. Last week's government response to the first report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee gives clues - but remains tantalisingly unclear on where exactly the wheel of fortune is going to stop. It does say that there will be a special category of 'large casinos', with a minimum gaming area of 1,000sq metres and an extra gambling area of 2,500sq metres, plus an additional non-gambling area to which children will be admitted that will offer other entertainments. The response suggests there won't be many of these large casinos - but it leaves the decision up to the new regional planning bodies, which take responsibility for regional spatial strategic planning this year under the new Planning Act.
