The 30-th edition of the Summer Games is on!
On July 27, the Olympic Games were declared open. The most expected event of the year opened its gates in the capital of the Great Britain. Sportsmen will compete in the arena, while the tourists will have the opportunity to show their skills in the luxurious casinos throughout London.
From July 27 to August 12, London will be under commotion. It is the world sport capital, where contestants are competing in a hope for the brightest olympic medal. The local authorities got everything ready by the book, not only for sportsmen but also for tourists. While the 10,500 are competing, so are the tourists – showing their poker skills, roulette, baccarat, slots and similar others. The 25 casinos in London will be welcoming a number of 500,000 tourists visiting their city for the Olympic Games. The gambling afficionados will have faimous casinos like Aspinalls, Ritz Club and The Empire at their disposal, as well as the recently inaugurated Hippodrome, reopened on July 13 (with three storeys exclusively for gambling). Every one of these casinos is expecting that a number of at least 2,000 players cross their threshold a day. Besides the spaces meant for gambling only, the guests will be able to take advantage of bars, restaurants and theatres, where they can watch various shows, depending on their taste.
The British Parliament released to the media the Report on Gambling, along with the recommendation of the MPs for flexibility and more freedom in terms of the location of casinos and slots. Thus, the Local Councils will allow the betting stores to operate more than four gambling devices on big stakes, to accept betting of up to 100 GBP and give prizes of 500 GBP at most. The casinos will have up to 20 machines and the gaming operators will pay lower fees.
The fever of Olympics will attract over 50 million GBP in betting, as one in eight British people will be interested to bet on the games going on – this is the result of a survey carried out by CORAL betting company. Half of the future bettors of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, i.e. 3 million people, are new to gambling.
To be short, let’s have the games start and the best win!
