Barman won £800k at online casino

Lien Bailey who works as a barman in Doncaster, scooped a huge prize worth £800k at William Hill online casino. He points that due to internet connection loss he didn’t know that he has actually won until few days after. Lie earns £174 per week at Urban Bar, so this week represents a 89 years’ worth wage from just £4.50 investment at this online casino.

He said: “I didn’t believe it at first – I just thought it was a joke.

“But then I thought why would a stranger be saying this to me – it wasn’t like it was one of my mates having a laugh.

“I live with my step-dad in Doncaster and also act as a carer for my dad Neil, 44, who has muscular dystrophy.”

Lien has decided to continue to work despite the life changing win. However he is yet to decide whether he will continue to work at the bar or not.

Girlfriend Katie Brandon, 26, a manager at Claire’s Accessories, said: “He came into the shop and told me and I really thought he was joking. He left after telling me and went back to work and I really did still think it was a hoax.

“‘I do believe it now – but I love him just the same as I did before the win. He’s always been priceless to me.”

It might be that Barman will decide to go for the online casinos career, and try to multiple his winning. Whatever he will decide we wish Bryan all of the best from UK Casino News.

UK Genting Casino Boss Says Gambling is too Scary for Him

There is no doubt that you will know the name Genting Casino, you will most likely have walked past any of the 44 Genting Casinos that are located around the UK and you would think that the majority of Genting Casino staff like playing a few casino games however that isn’t the case. The boss of UK Genting Casinos, Peter Brooks, has said recently that gambling it just too scary for him.

Peter Brooks hasn’t always worked in the gaming industry. He previously worked as a solicitor for 25 years but then decided to go into business and as the say the rest is history. Although Mr Brooks doesn’t gamble himself his aim is to modernise the casino industry. He wants to ban the reputation this industry has had over the decades and wishes to truly update and reform the casino world.

There are 44 Genting Casinos located throughout the UK and the newest land based one is the Riverlights Casino which opened recently in Derby. One of the Genting Casino’s – Palm beach in central London has the exact casino feel that Mr Brooks is planning on running in other UK Genting Casinos.

It appears to passers-by from the outside as a modern bar with relaxing atmosphere – no one would know it was as casino. It isn’t until you walk through to the back that you are greeted with roulette wheels, slots machine and card tables. Having a casino layout such as this makes the feel of visiting a casino less daunting and it means only the people that actually want to play some casinos games do so if they wish to.

If this plan by Peter Brooks is successful we could see UK Genting Casinos become friendlier and move to becoming more female-dominated rather than male.

Increase in New Customers at UK Casinos

Rank, which is a British gaming group, has reported this week an increase in pretax profit in the first half of its financial year. This profit comes from increase in new customers at its UK Grosvenor Casinos and also its Mecca Bingo halls. It is always good to see an increase in new players at land based casinos as it shows not all people are staying inside and sticking to playing in online casinos.

The Rank group is 74.5% owned by Malaysia’s Guoco and they announced last month that they are in talks with Gala Coral with the opportunity of gaining some of Gala’s casino business. This possible joint venture could maybe mean that we could see either more Grosvenor Casinos opening or even joint Grosvenor and Gala Casinos opening, who knows!

These new customers at Grosvenor UK Casinos have risen to 762,000 which is a rise of 61,000. Whether people are enjoying their Grosvenor Casino experience and bringing their friends along with them or just trying out a casino for the first time remains to be seen, however it is apparent by this increase in pretax profit that UK Casinos, in particular Grosvenor Casinos are doing well at the moment.

This profit was only reported in the first half of its financial year, therefore we will have to wait and see how well this business does for the second half of the year.

As soon as more news develops on this potential UK Casino investment between Rank and Gala Coral be sure to read it here, at UK Casino News.

Grosvenor Casino Portsmouth Raises Money for Marie Curie

Raising money for charity is seen as a great way of helping others that are less fortunate than yourself. There are numerous charities in the UK that all specialise in different things, however one cancer charity has definitely struck lucky this week. The cancer charity that has hit the jackpot is Marie Curie Cancer Care and they have been the grateful receivers of a donation from the Portsmouth Grosvenor Casinos.

There are two different Grosvenor Casinos situated in Portsmouth – one on Osborne Road and the other in the Gunwharf Quays area. However, it was staff at the Grosvenor Casino Gunwharf Quays that handed over the impressive donation. In total this land-based Portsmouth Grosvenor Casino had raised an impressive £5,387 and they gave this to the cancer charity today (Thursday 2^nd February 2012).

Staff at the Grosvenor Portsmouth Casino raised this sum of money through various quizzes, different raffles and a range of sponsored activities, one of which include an interesting beard growing challenge.

The general manager at this Grosvenor Casino is Paul Brady and he lost his father to cancer a few years ago, therefore he knows as much as others that have either lost someone to this illness or are in fact suffering from it themselves how important charities like Marie Curie Cancer Care are.

Marie Curie aims to provide cancer suffers with the highest quality of care possible. In addition to that there are also nine Marie Curie Hospices located around the UK all of which provide expert care. To add to that this cancer charity is a leader in research into the best care possible for people with terminal illnesses.

By raising money through various events, this Portsmouth Grosvenor Casino needs to give themselves a well-deserved pat on the back, because without place such as this Grosvenor Casino raising money charities wouldn’t be able to function the way that they do.
