Super Casino Will Soon Be Yesterdays News

So Manchester was the venue for the new proposed “super casino” and the favourites London and Blackpool missed out. Well I don’t know about you but I am getting a bit sick and tired of hearing about it. I am also getting rather fed up from hearing alarmists spout on about how it is all going to lead to increased prostitution and crime and problem gambling as well.

I don’t know what it is about this particular casino, maybe it is the term “super” that is frightening certain people almost like “super bug” or “super criminal”. The word “super” seems to be putting the wind up people there is no doubt about it. I am waiting for someone to explain to me just how one single building can be responsible for young girls turning to prostitution and people turning to crime. Prostitutes, criminals and problem gamblers are already in existence in everyday life and that will never change.

All it may do is redirect certain people into another area but as for creating them then that is just plain silly. But I am sure that in a few years time after it has been built then somebody will get hold of someone whose life has been wrecked because of it and claim “I told you so”. What many people fail to realise is that casinos have been with us for a very long time and they have not always been regulated and governed and policed like what they are now.

Back in the sixties and seventies, there was in fact far more casinos in the UK than there are now but not all of them were nice places to be in if you know what I mean. But many of these so called “experts” that are harping on about casinos now that it so public have never set foot in one in their entire life. They also probably have never gambled in their entire life as well and view people who do as some sort of degenerate low life.

What they totally miss is why casinos are actually there in the first place. It is a place where people go and be entertained and that entertainment does not come free of charge. But if people actually viewed these establishments for what they actually were then much of the problem could be overcome in terms of how people perceive them.
