Casino Group Creates Local
Commitee Ahead Of Flagship Casino Launch
Casino
operator Aspinalls
has teamed up with community leaders in Newcastle to launch
a committee promoting responsible gambling ahead of the
opening of its Aspers Casino at The Gate in
October.
Community Action for
Responsible Gaming (CARG) will include members of the police
and the church as well as representatives from
Aspinalls.
"Our aim is to work with
agencies to identify any local problems there are and find
ways to work effectively to solve them," said Aspers
director, Damian Aspinall.
"We will also oversee fact
finding and research on gambling trends in the community and
help to resource and develop responsible gambling education
materials and information."
Chief Inspector Marcus
Hall of Northumbria Police, who will sit on the CARG
committee, said: "We welcome this initiative as a practical
way forward and hope to use the group to anticipate and plan
for any potential problems."
Aspinall added that Aspers
is designed to be a leisure destination and not solely for
gambling.
The 1,200-capacity venue
is the first of a planned rollout of the Aspers brand in the
UK and will include two bars – one for live
entertainment and one with sports screens – and a
restaurant.
Three gaming floors will
include a VIP area, an electronic gaming area and a main
floor for gaming tables and slots.
