Online Casino Gambling News - by Gamblers Lodge

Stanley Leisure, the giant UK gambling firm, announced that it plans to bid on all twenty-four casino openings the new UK gambling bill is permitting. Although the company has not seen a very positive return in assets – at least compared to last years earnings – chief executive, Bob Wiper stated that the last six months were better than last years return, and that the acquisition of more casinos would guarantee further insured success.

To many, it seems that Stanley Leisure is trying to start a pity party, and that a seeming monopoly of casinos might be overlooked if it was more needful that the company go to such lengths as acquire all twenty-four new casinos in the UK. However, Stanley Leisure claims they were recently hit hard by a high roller who went on a long winning streak, and that several gamblers have not yet settled on debts which many of Stanley’s casinos still owe on.

The financial year is to end in March, and all will be said and done at that time. However it remains unlikely that no matter how bad or good Stanley Leisure fares, they will not acquire all the casino openings. Already, there are several Las Vegas casinos such as Harrahs, clamoring to get in on the eight slots that will allow Vegas sized casinos to operate. The remaining slots will be reserved for medium and smaller sized casinos. If it’s soooo bad Stanley Leisure, don’t worry, they will save some betting parlors for you.
