Paddington Casino Offers 150 New Jobs

150 jobs have been created in Paddington with the opening of a money-spinning casino and sports bar. The 5 million UK Pounds development has been unveiled at the Paddington Hilton hotel, following a joint investment by Ladbrokes and two private backers, Alan Goodenough and David Seton.

Situated in the heart of the Paddington Waterside Regeneration Area, the grand casino, which was officially opened this week, is expected to create 150 jobs. These will be in the entertainment and catering sector.

Kay Buxton of the Paddington Waterside partnership said: "This investment is a further vote of confidence in the potential of Paddington, We're delighted that 150 jobs are being created in the area and we wish the venture every success."

A sports bar will offer live coverage of major matches from around the world, a Las Vegas-style slot zone will contain roulette wheels and one-armed bandits, paying out up to 500 UK Pounds , and the gaming floor will have a range of casino games including blackjack, poker and punto banco.

One of the backers, Mr. Goodenough, said: "We have delivered the casino on time and on budget and believe we have created a casino which enables people to enjoy playing the tables in modern, stylish surroundings, as well as enjoying the latest live sporting action."

Membership of the casino is free upon production of photographic ID.
