UK Getting First Supercasino

Many cities were disappointed and upset that the United Kingdom’s first supercasino will be located in Manchester, as many cities wanted it for their own backyard. The supercasino will host 1,250 slot machines, all of which can pay out unlimited jackpots. The government was originally going to issue 40 slot machine licenses, but they folded under pressure and ended up issuing one.

The anti slot machine groups say that by Manchester getting the license that they are only promoting more gambling in a nation already having major problems with slot machine and gambling addiction. The British Medical Association said that the government needs to get a hold on the online gambling industry and the fact that many of the slot machines in the country are easily accessible to children.

The UK responded by giving Manchester a supercasino with more slot machines than any other location. Many say that with the economic troubles that Manchester is already facing, the location is ripe to breed more slot machine and gambling addicts. By putting it in a location such as Manchester, they are asking the citizens of the town to support the supercasino – which will ultimately lead to even more slot machine addictions.
