| Blackpool casino still a possibility |
| The topic was discussed in the House of Lords |
 Lord McNally, of Blackpool, informed the House of the Lords that his city could be granted those gambling licenses rejected by other cities, which revived the discussion about a Blackpool casino.
“If all 16 are not taken up is there enough flexibility in this legislation, or can the Government use enough common sense, to reallocate those licenses to other areas?,” Lord McNally said. "I believe some of the benefits, which would have come from a resort casino, could still be won by Blackpool.” |

| UK Gambling Study |
| Industry grows considerably |
 A recent survey showed that almost 9% of adults claimed to have taken part in some way of remote gambling and online wagering along the past year (from March 2007 to March 2008).
The investigation included 8000 adults and results showed that gambling in the UK is continuously rising.
When analyzing each activity, statistics showed that 6.3% of the people said that they bought National Lottery tickets. When comparing this result to the overall 9%, it showed that about 5% of adults preferred gambling over lottery. |
