America dominates the global Gaming News again this month with New York legislative leaders agreeing to authorize four upstate New York casinos designed to drive jobs and tourism to the long economically distressed area. 

 

As we tipped off last month the casinos in Sri Lanka are to undergo a sea change with all seven casinos located in Colombo to be re-located to the special casino zone declared by the Government at the D.R. Wijewardena Mawatha - Beira Lake area. Colombo has seven licensed casinos currently operated by businessmen Dhammika Perera and Ravi Wijeratne, all of which are compelled to move to the new location under new guidelines for the operation of casinos. Wijeratne is the local partner for James Packer's $530 million hotel and casino opening in the new location.

 

Meanwhile in the UK the developers behind Bath's first casino have said

they hope building work could start early next year with a view to open by the end of 2015. 

 

The Spring Slot Summit was a another popular success held this year at the new Hohensyburg Casino and plans are already underway for the Paris event in December where I look forward to meeting up with many of you.
