Aspers
Aspers are something of a new kid on the block, having started around 2005 with their huge Newcastle site, situated in the “Gate” leisure complex.
Owned in part by Damian Aspinall – he of the illustrious casino father and various wildlife reserves – they soon opened further units in Swansea and Northampton, and more recently opened the first new 2005 Gambling Act casino in Newham, east London, next to the Olympic Park (and within the Westfield shopping centre). They haven’t had things all their own way, with the Swansea site failing and now closed, but the Aspers Westfield Casino property is a unique scale in UK casino and is a must-see.
Since then they have even opened up another new site, Aspers MK in Milton Keynes. As you might expect, it’s another beauty, well worth visiting.
