The Casino plans have been on the table since government ministers gave permission to Leeds City Council back in 2008 to licence a new casino complex. An invitation for bidders is expected to be posted in February 2012 for Casino operators interested in building and running the new Leeds Casino.
Once the new Leeds based Casino is open for business it will create over 200 jobs in the local area and could attract more the £20 million in much needed private sector investment. Casino operators currently showing an interest in the new casino complex are Stanley Leisure, Grosvenor Casinos and Aspers although that list is bound to grow once the project is open to bids and we are bound to see some of the Online Casino operators fight for their piece of the land based casino market.
As of yet the location of the new casino hasn't been decided upon but with so much of Leeds' industrial heritage now being replaced with the financial services industry there isn't likely to be a problem finding a suitable spot.
