Don't look anytime soon for development of a regional casino in the United Kingdom, as U.S. operators have been hoping, announcements to the contrary not withstanding. Sure, Britain liberalized its gaming laws last year. But the Casino Advisory Panel won't report to Parliament on a site until the end of the year, and licenses won't be granted until the end of 2007. No construction is expected to start before 2007. Also, the British government has a second study going on problem gambling, due in late 2007, which could slow whatever progress is then under way.
