SOLE APPLICANT GETS CASINO LICENCE

THE Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board on Wednesday awarded a casino licence to the sole applicant for a licence in the Overberg region, the Caledon Casino Bid Company. The board emphasised that despite the fact that only Caledon had applied for the only casino operator licence in the Overberg region, it had been found that the applicant had complied with all the criteria.
