Put Your Money on Blackpool

Blackpool has been dubbed the underdog of the slot machine war to try and get a casino in town. It is the smallest town in the running, and is up against such heavy hitters as Glasgow, London, Greenwich, and Manchester. However, last week the bookies let everyone know their picks for the spot – with Blackpool winning 6/4. The Casino Advisory Panel, echoes those thoughts, with Blackpool doing very well in the first round of casino talks.

The second round will do a more in depth investigation of each company, but locals are still hopeful that Blackpool will come out on top. The CAP will visit each location taking in the ideas that the locations have talked about and marrying them to the location itself. They have planned a large undertaking if they win, that will greatly increase tourism, as well as the place itself. They are adding more slot machines, more gambling tables - a complete overhaul.

Once the panel has finished all of its investigations, they will make a recommendation to the Secretary of State by the end of this year. Then, the government will make its decision based on the CAP recommendations as well as other factors, and award the license to the winning town early next year. Paddypower.com, an online betting company, has placed them in the front with Greenwich 6/4, Blackpool 6/4, Manchester 6/1, Glasgow 8/1, 10/1 Cardiff 14/1 bar.
