Swansea Begins Development of a GBP 7 Million Casino
Work is underway for a casino with a price tag of GBP 7 million, a joint project between UK's Aspinall Group and James Packer's Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd., an Australian leisure and entertainment group.
An estimated GBP 3.5 million is being spent by the project developer, Midas Property Services, on mechanical and electrical engineering. Materials for the ambitious project are being shipped in from all over the world, including a sophisticated security system designed to catch cheats.
"The benefits of having a larger casino would be a major boost to Swansea, our local economy and our aspiration to be a distinctive European city by 2020," said Chris Holley, Swansea Council Leader, back in July.
"The hosting of a large and/or small casino would be a major boost to Swansea's future plans. Such an exciting new leisure facility would provide a major attraction to visitors, stimulate local leisure trade and create significant new employment opportunities," Holley added.
The project handlers from Midas Property Services are also excited about the venture. According to Mark Taylor, a representative of the firm, "It's fantastic to be involved in such a prestigious project. As well as sourcing materials from all over the world and working with Australian architects, the project will also call for us to pay close attention to local needs due to the confined nature of the site. At one point we will have to deliver the mechanical plant for the project onto the roof of the building. We're looking forward to taking on the challenges and to delivering a finished project which should be breathtaking."
