Manchester wins super-casino license
The City of Manchester has won the race for the new super-casino licence, beating regional rival Blackpool and the UK government's preferred location Greenwich in London. The Casino Advisory Panel recommended Manchester's bid, saying that it was particularly impressed by the greater promise of their submission, subject to parliamentary approval.
The super-casino will be built in East Manchester in a shock decision to the Blackpool and Millenium Dome bids, both of whom were regarded as the favourites.
Blackpool bid organisers pledged to continue the work in getting government approval for a super-casino license depsite that there are no further plans to approve more supercasinos in the 2007 parliamentary year.
The short-list of locations was announced in 2006 and these were:
* Wembley Stadium, Brent, London (since removed from consideration)
* The 02 (Millenium Dome), Greenwich, London
* Cardiff
* Blackpool
* Manchester
* Newcastle
* Sheffield
* Glasgow, Scotland
What is a super-casino?
By definition a 'super casino' will have a minimum customer area of 5000 square meters and at most 1250 unlimited-jackpot slot machines. A super-casino is a Vegas style and size casino.

US gambling deposit methods shrinking
The list of payment processors for American gamblers has shrunk dramatically as the world's largest payment processors pull out of the USA one by one.
NETeller, the world's largest online payment processor for online gamblers, and Citadel pulled out of the U.S. market last week. Then InstaDebit pulled the plug and Click2Pay took measures to not take any new US business. Existing US clients are still able to use the service.
ePassporteand MoneyGram cash transfers are still providing a full service for Americans.

US to legalise online gaming
It is a general view shared by many industry analysists that the US will legalise online gaming within the next 3-5 years.
Currently the Department of Justice (DOJ) is pursuing London-based banks for information relating to online gambling companies, which has sparked fears that an American campaign to shutdown these gambling sites will lead to further arrests and charges.
This is more about driving foreign traders out of action so that Vegas-based campanies does not lose out on further business. The DOJ is making it's move now to give the US government time to sort out the legislation and give the Vegas casino brands enough time to establish their brands online.
The hypocrisy of it all is that the DOJ wants to throw foreign gambling executives in jail for money laundering whilst they claim the online gambling market for the US-based Vegas companies.

A further 57 casino applications were being considered and the total number of casinos in the UK would surpass 200 in the next few years.
