MALLORCA TODAY - Casino to open in July

The new casino in Palma, which will see the current one in Sol de Mallorca closing, will open in July, three months behind the original schedule. The cost of converting the old cinema in Porto Pi, the site of the new casino, has exceeded by two million euros the initial estimate of 6.5 million. The casino, it is hoped, will have a minimum increase of 50% in custom, though the current casino has, over the past three years, seen a decline in revenue by around a half. The exact date for the opening has still to be confirmed.
