London-based Global Gaming Ventures Ltd. is planning to build a “super-casino” resort in the town of West Yorkshire, England, near Manchester and Leeds.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the company is in the process of obtaining a gaming license for the premises at the new £150 million Victoria Gate development in Leeds, which is expected to open next year. The 50,000-square-foot gaming hall will be located above a shopping center will employ about 200 people, the Post reported.
Global Gaming Ventures made an upfront payment of £1 million (US$1.5 million) to West Yorkshire council and will pay £450,000 a year to the council, with money potentially going to “anti-poverty- projects and support networks for gambling addicts.”
