Bleak View Of Blackpool Super Casino Effect

A super casino in Blackpool would risk turning trade away from existing businesses, cost ?£15 million a year due to problem gambling and not change the area's reliance on low-paid and seasonal work, a highly critical new report has claimed.

Leading regeneration consultants, Hall Aitken, fear Blackpool could suffer an 'Atlantic City effect' with unemployment remaining high and crime, homelessness and property speculation blighting areas of the town.

Blackpool Council chiefs say the high number of areas chasing the one available regional casino licence prove the value of the proposed casino.

But the report's authors write: "It is our view, on the basis of international evidence, that many existing and competing businesses would be blighted or undermined by the presence of a regional casino. Significant numbers of businesses and neighbourhoods may be affected."

Wow, those are some pretty broad claims they're making.

Why would a super casino turn trade away from existing businesses? I'm sure Rapid DIY in Liverpool hasn't seen a downturn in business since the casino opened over the road!

Seriously, wouldn't a casino INCREASE trade to local business? Blackpool is heaving with b&b's, hotels, bars, and other tourist-y attractions (like the fair).

You have a meal, go to the casino, then have a few beers in a local pub, or maybe vice-versa, stay the night at a nice hotel, and next day go play at the fair, spend some money in the gift shops ...

Well, that's what I'd do anyway (I've done it before, minus the casino, of course).

I think it would be a boon for the town.
