As reported by the UK Time: “The supercasinos storm has taken another
controversial turn after it emerged that the owners of the Dome are already
advertising for croupiers even before they have secured a licence. “The
website run by Dome owners Anschutz Entertainment Group, whose boss Philip
Anschutz entertained John Prescott at his California ranch, details 20
different recruitment opportunities at the site, including ‘croupier work’.
“The revelation will strengthen suspicions that AEG’s close links to
Government mean it has already secured a head start over the six other
councils bidding to run Britain’s first supercasino or has even been given
private assurances that it will get the licence. “The head of the Casinos
Advsisory Panel, which is supposed to select the winner, has already
admitted that the Dome has a head start because building work on the casino
has already begun at the Dome, now called The O2.”
