Chancellor Gordon Brown is tipped to impose a massive new tax on super casinos in the Budget.
Casino operators are expected to face a tax bill of £5000 for every gambling machine with unlimited jackpots, which could mean a total of £6.25 million to open a facility.
Mr Brown would then use the money to abolish taxes on small-scale gaming machines to ease the burden on family-run seaside arcades.
Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell had planned up to eight new super casinos across the United Kingdom, but was forced to cut the number to just one in the face of public and political opposition. However, Sports Minister Richard Caborn has since said there could be more if the demand exists.
