Glasgow either had to be granted the Regional Casino, or it got nothing. Note that the same applies to Blackpool, Greenwich, Sheffield, Cardiff, Newcastle etc.

It is possible, of course, that Glasgow could benefit from a second round of licences being granted, in which case, if it wants a Large or Small casino instead of a Regional one, it would have to make that clear in its application.

Liberal Democrat culture spokesman Don Foster said: "Any further increase in the number of super-casinos, without a full study of the impact on Manchester, would be against the wishes of Parliament and the concerns of many local communities."
