Aspers succeeds in Milton Keynes casino bid
A new large casino to be developed in Milton Keynes is to be operated by Aspers after the company was announced as the successful applicant by Milton Keynes Council (MKC).
The award means that the casino operator can now apply for a large casino licence, with the proposed venue to deliver a £10m investment within the existing Xscape complex.
Gaming tables and machines will form part of the casino, along with entertainment, dining and bars. MKC will receive at least £500,000 per year for the entire lifespan of the facility.
The council's licensing sub-committee resolved to grant Aspers the provisional statement after the group's bid was adjudged to offer the "best all round package" for the city.
"It will provide not only a new completely different - yet responsibly managed - kind of leisure facility for Milton Keynes, but numerous associated facilities and benefits for the local community, as well as creating scores of jobs," said a council spokesperson.
"This outcome has been the result of two years' work by a small team of council officers and advisers who enabled all three applicants to carefully construct their final bids."
