Deloitte, the professional services firm, said gaming groups would look to invest elsewhere after the UK\’s Government reduced the number of Las Vegas-style resort casinos it will allow from eight to one.
“The UK will no longer be on top of the US gaming industry\’s investment list. The US operators, many of whom have made substantial investments in land options, will channel their development dollars in other emerging jurisdictions such as Macau and Singapore,” said Alex Kyriakidis, head of tourism, hospitality and leisure at Deloitte.
