LAND VERSION OF CASINO RED IN TROUBLE
31 July 2009
GBP5 million Yorkshire premises deserted
The GBP 5 million land version of online casino, poker,
sportsbetting and mobile operation CasinoRed.com appears
to be in dire financial straits only eight months after
it opened its doors in Huddersfield, UK (see previous
InfoPowa reports).
The Huddersfield Daily
Examiner reports this weekend that the premises remains
deserted with no sign of relief for the 100 employees
who were laid off after the first two months of
operations following a plush opening in September 2008.
Adding to the gloom, the window displays have apparently
been remoived in the last few days.
The newspaper
reports that the owners have remained silent, although
the Gibraltar-licensed and Wagerworks-powered online
property is still operating.
The land version was
located in the extensively refurbished former Princess
Cinema at Northumberland Street. Only eight weeks after
opening its doors the venue – which also boasted a
restaurant and three bars – was closed and croupiers,
bar and restaurant staff were told to go home.
Management explained that the company had had to suspend
trading for 30 days in order to secure additional
investment due to the withdrawal of some bank
facilities.
The newspaper was unable to elicit a
comment from the company offices in Macclesfield,
Cheshire this week as messages left on voice mail and
mobile phone numbers went unanswered.
When the
casino closed, a notice on the door said: “Due to
unforeseen circumstances Casino Red is temporarily
closed for business.”
Customers were told of the
closure via a single text message, which read: “Casino
Red directors have unfortunately had to temporarily
suspend trading at the venue in Huddersfield. We will
inform of a re-opening ASAP. Apologies.”
Those
remain the last words from management on the matter.
According to its online website, the CasinoRed
company was formed in 2006.
