Gordon Brown is likely to come under pressure this week to rule out any chance of a super-casino being built. A Government-commissioned British Gambling Prevalence Study is likely to show that almost a million gamblers have a severe addiction. This compares with the last study, commissioned by the Gaming Board in 1999, which found that about 300,000 gamblers had a "problem". The survey also found that 33 million adults, or 72 per cent of the population, gambled in some form.

The company behind the prestigious Clermont Club casino in Mayfair, London, wants to create a gaming club in the basement of the historic Midland Hotel.

Washington - Fed up seeing their residents dole out millions of dollars at out-of-state casinos and tracks, more than a dozen states this year worked on dramatically expanding gambling within their borders. States are playing their version of "keeping up with the Joneses" as they scramble for a bigger piece of the gambling pie. Kansas this year made the most dramatic move to compete with commercial gambling operations in neighboring Iowa, Missouri and Colorado by becoming the first state that will own and operate large-scale casino resorts.
The Goa government is seeking legal opinion to resolve the controversy surrounding the second off-shore casino in the river Sal. “We have sought legal opinion on the entire matter before proceeding further on the issue,” state Chief Secretary J P Singh said.

No timetable was announced, but other casinos said they expected to the changes to take effect at their own facilities by next spring.

If Miami-Dade County voters decide in January to allow slot machines at the county's parimutuels, the election could trigger the sale of venerable Miami Jai-Alai to a company that already owns casinos in Broward County and the Bahamas. The Isle of Capri, a St. Louis-based company with 18 casinos including four overseas sites, entered into an agreement in 2004 that gives the casino company first right to negotiate to purchase the Miami Jai-Alai property from owner Florida Gaming -- if the slots initiative passes.
Las Vegas (AP) - Hotel and casino workers have moved a step closer to walking out on the picket line at several Las Vegas resorts. In two meetings Wednesday, members of the Culinary Workers and Bartenders Unions voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike at the 14 casinos and two industrial laundries with which the union is negotiating new contracts. The move allows a negotiating committee to call for a strike, or other action, if contract settlements aren't reached.
By a vote of 7-0, the Metro Council voted Wednesday to file a lawsuit and use any legal means necessary to get information about the economic impact of Pinnacle Entertainment’s proposed riverboat casino project in south Baton Rouge.
