The Salvation Army in Scotland has voiced its concerns over plans for a super-casino to open in Glasgow amid claims from supporters that the venture would create thousands of jobs.
Glasgow City Council quoted that 2,500 new jobs would be created by a super-casino in the city and attract more than half a million visitors each year during a meeting of the Casino Advisory Panel to discuss the impact of a Las Vegas style super-casino.
Council leader Steven Purcell backed Glasgow’s bid to win the licence saying it would make a “major contribution” to regeneration in the city.
"A regional casino would make a major contribution to Glasgow's ongoing social and economic regeneration and it would ensure more local people could share in the city's success."
