Greenwich loses Casino to Manchester... or does it?
The news has hit the wire that Manchester, not Greenwich or Blackpool will get the first super-casino license. However, we would like to remind out readers that the Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has it within her power to issue three licenses if she wants. It ain't over for Greenwich and Blackpool yet.

Not until 2010. And the Salvation Army (who know more than a bit about the misery wrought by problem gamblers) are recommending that new casinos to be monitored for adverse affects on their local community for up to five years, not the three years currently stipulated.
