We love all things local here at About My Area and we’re here to give you an update on the world of casinos. Both locally and online, things are changing for betting aficionados, so let’s get down to it!

 

Reduction of FOBTs

If you use a local betting shop, then you may have seen a Fixed Odds Betting Terminal, or FOBT for short. The UK Government are now intervening to reduce the amount that people are able to bet on these terminals. Prior to this intervention, these could allow players to spend hundreds of pounds in no time at all. Now, a maximum stake will be implemented, preventing users from spending more than £2 per game.

This will play a big role for betting shops on the high street. There has already been a lot of industry analysis on this change, which could potentially lead to some of these betting shops being closed down.

New Advertising Guidelines

There are also changes in the work for online gambling destinations too. The UK Gambling Commission wish to reduce the number of underage gamblers being tempted to gamble. This has led to a crackdown on games and advertisements that use cartoon characters, as these can be seen to tempt younger players.

The folks over at https://www.newcasinosonline.co/ have been weighing in on these new regulations and keeping their readers up to date. This is a great way to keep abreast of everything that’s happening within this ever changing industry.


Grosvenor Casino Feature in Southend Festival

There’s a new festival coming to Southend, featuring art and local talent. Grosvenor Casinos are just one of the businesses taking part in this local festival. They’ll be featuring local art in their Southend venue, with six weeks of different exhibitions to view. There’s a wide variety of different mediums and genres on show within this art festival.

Magic Mike Comes to Hippodrome Casino in London

The live version of the Magic Mike show that took the UK by storm is coming to the Hippodrome Casino in London. The dance act has been gearing up for a live tour for a while now, with this venue high on the list. There are loads of tickets on offer and there are even VIP packages available too.

With the massive popularity of the show, it’s foreseeable that these tickets may sell out quickly. The casino venue has a large stage and plenty of space for the troupe. For those that decide to attend the event, the casino will no doubt have a range of promotions on for the day. There are many hotels and accommodation in the surrounding area of London, with reservations sure to book up quickly during the tour.

There’s certainly a lot happening within the local community these days, especially with so many changes in the casino industry. Keep your eyes peeled in your local community and you might just see some of the aspects in our article. There are likely to be even more of these changes in future!
