  June 13, 2006 - Professor Peter Collins, a recognized academic and expert on the topic of gambling, called for the United Kingdom's government to permit 11 super-casino licenses rather than only the one mega-casino license that has been proposed.
  
  The super-casino, as currently planned, will be a regional or resort casino much like Las Vega's hotel casino resorts.Glasgow is thought to be the most likely to win the selection as the location at this time.
  
  During a seminar at the Glasgow Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Collins stated that he did not know anyone who believed that one license was the right number.He feels that 11 regional casinos would be much better even though Glasgow might not be one of the licensed locations.
