Abstract
The last 24 years have seen the introduction of casions in the United Kingdom, first by mistake as a result of two acts of Parliament in 1960 and 1963, and then on purpose by the 1968 Gaming Act. We have also seen the pressures placed by high-rolling Middle Eastern gamblers on the London casino owners to break the law and the resulting cataclysmic effect on many of the casinos. The industry has survived a royal commission and a report by the Monopolies Commission. Nigel Kent-Lemon analyzes these and other significant events relating to the United Kingdom casino industry since 1960.Keywords
