Casino industry leaders have warned that hundreds of jobs are on the line in Scotland as they urged the Scottish Government to change its current tiering restrictions.

Maybury is an area on the western edge of Edinburgh, Scotland, near South Gyle and Ingliston, named after the civil engineer Sir Henry Maybury (1864–1943). Dominated by a major road junction, the most notable feature is the Maybury Roadhouse, opened in 1936 and one of Edinburgh's finest examples of Art Deco architecture.

Traditional British cuisine is what you’ll find at The Charleston, located within the Edinburgh branch of the popular Grosvenor Casino, also known as The Maybury. Grosvenor Casinos are considered the most prestigious in the UK, and The Charleston certainly lives up to that fact. After you go past. Its presence attracted criticism from the Church of Scotland, but soon proved enormously popular, even though it was used as a gun emplacement during World War II. After decay in the 1970s and 80s, the building is now restored as a casino. Maybury Road was built as the A902 in the 1920s. The boundaries of what I think of as Maybury Hill, Heathside and Mount Hermon may not be the same as your interpretation, and any local authority or ecclesiastical boundaries may well have changed over time, so if you cannot find what you are looking for in this section, it may be in a neighbouring area or perhaps one of the more general sections.

While pubs, bars, restaurants and cinemas are able to continue to trade in level two or below, the shutters came down on casino venues when the Scotland strategic framework was announced.

Bosses said there was “not a shred of scientific evidence” supporting the decision to keep casinos closed in level two while other hospitality venues are able to stay open.

Now, 11 casino venues in Scotland which support more than 700 jobs, in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, have launched a petition encouraging their customers to write to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to enable the recovery of the sector.

Led by industry heavyweight Grosvenor Casinos and with the support of Genting Casinos, Caesars Entertainment and trade association Betting and Gaming Council, the campaign points to the belief that the casino industry is being unfairly singled out.

Jonathon Swaine, managing director of Grosvenor Casinos, said: “We cannot stress enough how damaging it is that casinos across Scotland are being imposed with these arbitrary restrictions.

“As an industry we provide ultra-safe venues for colleagues and customers to visit. There is not a shred of scientific evidence which supports the decision to keep casinos closed in Level 2 while other hospitality venues are able to stay open.

“If Scottish casinos are forced to remain closed it will have a devastating impact on those customers who enjoy their local venues as a community hub, on team members who will lose their jobs, on the local suppliers it serves, on the charities that they are proud to support, as well as on the wider economy which will lose millions of pounds in tax receipts.”

The casino industry in Scotland contributed £30 million in tax a year to the UK economy, but bosses argue that the “continued and unjustified” closure of casinos is threatening to shut their doors for good.

Michael Dugher, chief executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, added: “Closing them makes no sense, especially when other parts of the hospitality sector are being allowed to stay open.”
