These casinos will feature roulette and blackjack, with of course cocktail waitresses in Playboy bunny outfits. There will also be gourmet restaurants and burger bars plus top DJ to spin the decks.

Back in the sixties and seventies, the Playboy casino was a thriving casino venue with many high-rolling and celebrity customers, until it was shut down in 1981 after a police raid. Although no charges were brought, the club never recovered. Regular customers included Michael Caine, Sean Connery and footballer George Best, who actually married a former Playboy bunny.

Las Vegas meanwhile features its own Playboy casino which is hugely successful and another branded casino is due to open in Macau next year. Speculation is on for the exact location of the new casino, with bets on the Haymarket Sports Café in the West End theatre district of London.
