The Rainbow Casino near the city centre in Bristol has announced that it is to close imminently. akfxoqsd.shop tried to contact the casino a number of times to confirm this but we were unable to get an answer either by telephone or by email.
The casino next to the Millennium Square, is set to cease operations after 10 years in operation.
There has been a notice issued to customers which says: “We regret to inform you that Rainbow Casino is ceasing operations on Tuesday (December 3rd) at midnight.”
Despite the notice nothing was mentioned on the company's website. We contacted the second facility of Rainbow Casinos in Birmingham, and we were unable to get any confirmation of the closure from management.
Despite the closure the gambling industry is still showing signs of growth in some sectors including arcades and bingo.
