The UK casinos market remains one of the most tightly regulated sectors of the gambling market, despite several deregulation measures introduced in recent years. However, with the prospect of substantial deregulation measures promised by the government and likely to be introduced in 2004, the industry stands on the threshold of a new era. This could see a dramatic uplift in the number of casinos and their location, as well as significant growth in the number of people visiting casinos and the amount of money that is spent in them. This report assesses the current status of the casinos market and considers, in the light of consumer perceptions of them, how the industry is likely to benefit from the proposed changes during the next five years. - Pricing and Download Information
