Public to have say in £300m casino development in Belfast

A public consultation is reportedly being conducted by the Belfast City Council regarding the possibility of amending the capital city’s licensing laws and to measure interest in building a major casino complex there worth as much as £300m.

Unlike the Republic of Ireland or Ireland, currently, in Northern Ireland, the gambling laws do not allow for the development of casino properties in Belfast.

The Belfast Telegraph reports that discussions between political and business representatives and two leading operators have already taken place regarding the possibility of building a casino, hotel, water park, restaurant and bar.
