Local officials will meet on Wednesday to discuss the approval of a 25,000 sq.ft casino, which is less than half the size of the 5500 sq.ft one which was approved in 2008.

According to a report published by the Eastern Daily Press, under current legislation the gaming facility must have a minimum area of 10760 sq.ft and up to 150 slot machines with a maximum jackpot of USD 5,151.

In the proposal, the casino will be delivered in three phases, the first of which is for a £5m Premier Inn Hotel and Beefeater restaurant, both offers sea views. The next phase involves the indoor play area, the cinema and restaurant offering, and the third phase the casino.

The 81-bedroom hotel was announced at a public consultation event held in January.

In 2012 the borough council chose The Edge to be the site of Yarmouth’s large casino, ahead of a rival bid by Palace Bingo and Casino which already operate a smaller casino in the town.
