Gambling Gets Big in Landlocked Britain

Great Britain just got its biggest casino with the opening last week of Isle Casino Coventry. It's the first overseas casino for the Isle of Capri Casinos gang who are gambling on Brits being big gamblers. A cascading indoor waterfall, 30 slot machines, a 12-table poker room, and 50 roulette stations fill the 100,000 square feet of the new casino.

Coventry, England's ninth largest city and nearly a hundred miles northwest of London, was until now famous for being further from the coast than any other British city. Whether its fortunes will go up or not with the new Isle casino might just be a matter of chance.
