As the UK government finally closes the doors on Manchester's mega-gaming resort, the city's self-proclaimed 'original super-casino' has announced record membership figures.
Since opening its doors in October 2006, Manchester 235 has added more than 70,600 members to its books - the largest growth figures for any casino in the UK outside of London.
"Manchester 235’s mature approach to the leisure market has made it the ‘must visit’ destination night out for those seeking the finest food, cocktails and live entertainment," said operator London Clubs International.
