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.”

Ra’s Reckoning unleashes an epic clash of Egyptian gods
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Play’n GO pits sun god Ra against serpent deity Apophis in Ra’s Reckoning, a mythic grid slot inspired by the celestial battles of ancient Egypt.
Ra’s Reckoning brings players face to face with an age-old mythic struggle – the eternal duel between light and chaos. Set in the scorched valleys of Egypt, this 6×5 cascading grid slot casts Ra, the all-seeing sun god, against the monstrous serpent Apophis, a primordial force of destruction. As players traverse this divine battleground, the looming presence of a blood-red eclipse intensifies the conflict, culminating in Ra’s cosmic reckoning.
Following in the footsteps of titles like Legacy of Egypt and Scroll of Dead, Ra’s Reckoning deepens Play’n GO’s commitment to storytelling through dynamic grid-based mechanics. The game’s escalating tension and vivid visual narrative ensure that Ra’s divine war leaves a lasting impression.
Divine Frames track the intensity of Ra’s power, upgrading through bronze, silver, and golden tiers as wins build. When Ra’s Blessing symbol appears, it unleashes these stored energies – revealing Coins, Jars, and Clash multipliers that bring the grid to life with celestial fury. The Mega Drop feature clears the grid of matching symbols beyond the winning cluster, pushing the chaos ever forward.
During Free Spins, Divine Frames persist between rounds, letting Ra’s influence grow stronger. In the heightened Divine Red Eclipse mode, these frames become super sticky, keeping the pressure on Apophis in a showdown of escalating divine forces.
Fans of Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead or Book of Dead will find familiar inspiration in this richly layered Egyptian mythos. Where those games explored the secrets of the underworld, Ra’s Reckoning elevates the stakes – delivering a god-level confrontation shaped by precision mechanics and narrative continuity.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO said: “Ra’s Reckoning exemplifies our passion for combining thematic storytelling with innovative features. The evolving Divine Frames and Mega Drop mechanic create a sense of momentum and consequence with every cluster.”
Ra’s Reckoning is a high-impact grid slot where every move builds towards a celestial clash between order and oblivion.
