Genting Casino to Permanently Close Three UK Properties
Gambling firm Genting Casino is considering closing three of its outlets with job losses across its remaining 29 sites across the UK. The company has written to workers outlining its plans as it battles losses caused by the coronavirus lockdown.
It is understood three casinos – in Torquay, Bristol and possibly in Margate – are potentially to close permanently, and an undisclosed number of jobs will be lost across all the business’ 32 venues.
The workers are being represented by GMB, the union for leisure and hospitality workers, which has warned that proposals to close the three casinos are “just the start” for the nation’s leisure and hospitality sector, which is at breaking point.
In the statement sent by chief executive Paul Willcock to employees, he said: “The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges.”
Mr Willcock went on to say there was a “huge financial impact on our business and…significant uncertainty for the foreseeable future,” and added: “I am therefore forced to contemplate some very difficult options to ensure survival.”
Matt Roberts, GMB Union South West regional organiser, said: “GMB will explore every avenue with Gentings to try and keep these jobs, no matter how hopeless the situation in the sector may appear.
“The casinos, like other leisure venues, have done their duty and complied with the lockdown, following the Prime Minister’s instructions and utilising the Government’s furlough scheme.
“As the scheme ends, GMB fears this is just the beginning of widespread job losses across the sector that will hit local communities hard.
“If the Government wants this country to retain a leisure and hospitality industry, we need to see support measures continue, in some form, that we can gradually wean the businesses off as the situation hopefully improves over the next year or so.
“Otherwise there will be very little hospitality and leisure businesses left for the public to go back to.”

WinSpirit Launches Alchemy of Passion: A Birthday Campaign Combining Gamification, Rewards, and Player Engagement
This summer, WinSpirit celebrates its birthday with Alchemy of Passion, a large-scale promotional campaign designed to create deeper player engagement through gamification, storytelling, and immersive rewards.
Built around the concept of discovering the legendary Elixir of Passion, the campaign transforms traditional promotional mechanics into an interactive journey. Players are invited to collect ingredients, complete quests, unlock rewards, and explore new experiences — turning every spin and action into part of a larger adventure.
Throughout the campaign, players can access multiple engagement features, including the Gift Portal, Gift Shop, Mystery Elixirs, quests, tournaments, and exclusive bonuses created specifically for the celebration.
From a product perspective, Alchemy of Passion highlights WinSpirit’s approach to developing creative promotional solutions that help operators increase player interaction, strengthen loyalty, and deliver memorable brand experiences. By combining narrative-driven mechanics with rewarding gameplay elements, the campaign provides partners with a flexible engagement tool designed to support retention and long-term player relationships.
The campaign also reflects WinSpirit’s continued investment in innovation, exploring new ways to connect entertainment, technology, and player-focused experiences within the iGaming ecosystem.
This birthday celebration is WinSpirit’s way of thanking the community that continues to shape the brand. Instead of simply marking another milestone, the company is creating new opportunities for players to interact, discover rewards, and celebrate together.
While Alchemy of Passion is already live, another major experience is being prepared behind the scenes. Soon, players and partners will get their first look at Euphoria Lab — a brand-new concept designed to bring an entirely new level of engagement.
The celebration has begun. The formula continues to evolve, and the next chapter is about to unfold.

SpringbokCasino.co.za has launched a July promotion offering players 25 free spins on SpinLogic slot title Seahorse Surge, using coupon code MINIONS. The operator said the offer is valid throughout July on its South Africa-facing site.
The campaign is positioned around a “Minions in the Wild – Nature’s Greatest Helpers” theme, timed to coincide with the release window of a new Minions film. SpringbokCasino’s creative frames the promotion through five animal “archetypes” — meerkats, hyenas, dassies, warthogs and elephants — as analogies for different styles of play.
“Every ecosystem needs its helpers, and every winning session needs the right mix of patience, timing, and a little bit of glorious chaos,” said Daniel Van Wyke, Casino Manager at SpringbokCasino. “This July, we celebrate South Africa’s wildest ‘Minions’—and give our players 25 free spins to cause some fun trouble of their own.”
SpringbokCasino described Seahorse Surge as featuring “cascading wins and rising multipliers.”
