Lol, the guy that used to own Ocean Finance sold up several years ago for £50 million.
He proceeded to win about £5 million in one of Birmingham's most popular casino over the space of a year. He was told not to come back and shareholders were issued with profit warning letters.
I always figure that the casinos are taking a risk by entertaining the big hitters. It only needs to go wrong for a prolongued period of time and the casino can get into trouble.
Little fish are sweet and there are plenty of them for the casino to make a very good income. Why risk it?
The casino does not need to gamble. But then I suppose some of these corporations are more greedy than some of the patrons who frequent their premises.
Hi John, ;)
I guess they thought the "whales" must lose in the end.....
It's a bit strange the casino WAS owned by these people nolinks://nolinks.lciclubs.com/ (nolinks://nolinks.lciclubs.com/)
They own some nice n big casinos so maybe just maybe other factors were the reason ?
After all membership was £750 per year ???
xman, if I had a casino, I would be sending Mike Ashley an R.S.V.P. card.
He has about £30 million burning a hole in his back pocket right now!
As for the £750 membership fee for the other place. What a hoot! A great bit of reverse psychology though.
I doubt this was a good day for the old fifty casino......

Well not exactly the same......
No one here (apart from Gizmo of course) has ever won that much in a sitting, right ?
