Belfast considering £300m casino complex

Message non lu par Monsieur G » 26 nov. 2017, 17:56

Belfast City Council is reportedly carrying out a public consultation into whether to build a £300m casino complex in the city, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

It is also considering updating citywide licensing laws, which currently prohibit the development of casino properties. Two leading casino operators have already held discussions with political and business leaders into the construction of a hotel and casino complex, with Rank Group previously showing interest in the potential development.

Public consultation documents state: “There has been interest shown by international investors in developing an entertainment and casino complex in Belfast."

In an interview with The Telegraph, Belfast councillor Jim McVeigh said "The consultation is to gauge the opinion of the people of Belfast, and people within our tourism and hospitality sector. It's in two halves - one is around flexibility around opening hours, exploring the idea that those areas should be devolved to councils. And the other, the entertainment complex, is to gauge the mood of the people in the city.”

Referencing the development’s potential expense and impact, McVeigh added: “£300m and 1,000 jobs. That's our estimate. These guys tend to be very serious. They are very keen to get here and keen to do this. The size is huge, both financially and physically. The jobs would be very significant.”
