Work is about to get under way on a Newcastle casino with the aim of transforming it into a haven of luxury.

The former Aspers at The Gate in the city centre is now rebranded Bally’s Casino and is all set for a full-scale makeover to take place inside during the summer with the unveiling of its final look planned by the end of the year. Customers are told to expect ‘a luxurious, state-of-the-art environment’ which aims to take the venue to a new level.

The takeover of the casino by Bally’s Corporation is a UK first for the American company which is described as being a global leader in the gaming industry and it has big plans for the re-design with its major investment also focusing upon creating modern amenities.
