Well, no-one saw that coming!...
Super, we get a new massive casino in a part of town where the main recreational opportunities already involve spending money that many don't have - Gala and Mecca hang your heads.
A further headache for GA? A disatrous planning decision? A money-making, soul-sucking enterprise? An employment opportunity? A regeneration trigger?
Tellingly, the Casino Advisory Panel said that "the city [Manchester] has the greatest need in terms of multiple deprivation of all the proposals that were before us." And this was a *good* reason to award it?...

I'm erring on the side of this being a good thing for Manchester.
People who live in depravation areas still have the power and motivation to say no. Faced with a "Super Casino", which means dressing up in a suit and registering 24 hours before, and splashing out on lottery tickets, I know which one I'd go for.
About 3% of gambling takes place in casinos. A much greater problem is internet gambling, and maybe also the late-night TV gambling phenomenon and, to a lesser (cheaper) extent, scratchards.

Anyhow, this one's called Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive and features a sweet 5x multiplier and 4-tier jackpot on top of everything else Mega Moolah offers, including a 10 free spins feature. With five reels and fifteen paylines, its not that big of a slot. However, the jackpot sizes will tell your otherwise. On a maximum bet of Ј15, players can nab jackpots worth at least Ј1 million. Ј10K, Ј100 and Ј10 consolation jackpots are awarded as well.
