The refurbishment programme is already underway and the casino will remain open while the work takes place. We are confident that this new investment will further enhance the facilities on offer to locals and visitors alike.” Genting Regional Director, Graeme Fletcher said: “Blackpool has come a long way in recent years and this investment recognises the progress the town has made as a tourist and leisure destination. The casino on North Shore, which employs more than 70 part-time and full-time people, will officially reveal its new look on Friday 15 November. Genting Casinos have unveiled plans for an extensive refurbishment in excess of £½ million of its Blackpool casino that will transform it into the area’s premier gaming and leisure destination.
