GROSVENOR Casinos has revealed the reopening date for its five Scottish venues.
The leisure giant will open the doors at its two casinos in Glasgow, and its outlets in Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh, on May 17, in line with new Scottish Government guidance. It comes after four months of temporary closure due to coronavirus restrictions.
Grosvenor operates 52 casinos across the UK.
The Scottish Government announced yesterday that most of Scotland would move into level two of the coronavirus restrictions regime from May 17. It means that casinos and other leisure outlets such cinemas, theatres, concert halls, bowling alleys, snooker halls and amusement arcades can reopen on Monday.
Grosvenor managing director Jonathon Swaine said: “We’ve been counting down the days to reopening and every passing day has brought increased excitement.
"It has been a challenging time for all our team members, but we can finally look forward to reuniting again and getting back to doing what we love - creating a unique atmosphere for guests to have fun, play their favourite casino games and enjoy quality time together.
“Our venues’ teams have been working hard to put in place robust health and safety measures, and when we reopen in line with government guidance, we will deliver a fun yet safe experience all of our guests and team members to enjoy.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
