Cardiff goes for £700 million Super Casino development

Cardiff city council is going to launch a bid to host the UKs first Super Casino development, planning for the new Super Casino is to be a part of a new £700 million international sports village development.
This new sports village development is designed to attract teams preparing for the 2012 London Olympics, but the council says it needs the casino in order to help finish building the village in time. Calling the Super Casino bid launch a crucial stage in the development of the international sports village, Cardiff council leader Rodney Berman echoed calls from other council leaders across the UK for the Gambling Act to be altered to allow more Super Casinos. Currently the new UK Gambling Act allows for only one Super Casino, but council leaders across the UK are calling for the number to be increased to the eight originally suggested.
Mr Berman went to say that “a new casino would help maximise the potential of the new international sports village as a world class sporting and leisure facility and give Cardiff a fantastic opportunity to play a big part in the coming 2012 Olympics.”The council have named the UK/Australian firm Aspers as the company which will operate the new Super Casino if the bid is successful.
