Norfolk casino design unveiled
17th December, 2007
The designs for a new £35 million casino which is to be built in Norfolk have been unveiled, the BBC reports.
Named The Edge, the casino will provide employment for up to 1,000 people and is expected to see gambling enthusiasts flocking to the area.
Although the exact location has not yet been decided, it is believed that the leisure complex will also include a 180-room hotel, as well as a ten-screen cinema, a 22-lane bowling alley and numerous restaurants and bars.
Yarmouth's Pleasure Beach chief Albert Jones, who is heading up the project, said: "It will be not only a year-round attraction for visitors but a great asset and entertainment centre for people living here.
"The complex will form a new gateway to the Golden Mile and be a massive boost to our tourist industry. It shows our family's continued commitment to the town and determination to continually invest in its future."
Meanwhile, work has begun on a new £3.5 million casino at Great Yarmouth which is set to open in February.
The Palace Casino will have 13 gaming tables, an automatic roulette wheel and 28 touch bet roulette screens.
