Casino operators wait for their number to come up

摘要

Casino operators in the UK looked on in envy last month when Singapore's first casino opened. The $4.7bn development exuded confidence.Perhaps they were considering what might have been. Singapore legalised casinos in 2007, the same year the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, giving 16 local authorities the right to build them in the UK. Today, some of those 16 are going through the tortuous consultation process, but others are doing nothing at all.
