Series: Building ; 269(8359) 26 November 2004 56-58(23)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Examines the prospects for the construction industry with the deregulation of gambling laws which should lead to the development of supercasinos. There is some doubt over how many casinos will be allowed under the new rules with the original figure of 40 supercasinos now reduced to around eight after initial opposition. The casinos could be very substantial at more than 5 000 square metres in an area that would perhaps have up to 1 250 slot machines paying up to £1m each. Gives the main points of the proposed Gambling Act and the proposed design for a £120m supercasino at Glasgow Rangers Ibrox Park Ground.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
