The great and the good of Cardiff, UK, descended on Rainbow Casino in the city centre for a star-studded VIP event last week.
Local celebrities, dignitaries and members of the Cardiff business community were all in attendance to enjoy the celebrations. The venue was officially opened by Wales and Cardiff rugby captain Sam Warburton, the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, Rainbow Casino managing director Duncan Savage and Cardiff casino general manager Richard Phillips. The event marked the casino’s relaunch after a £3m refurbishment, which has not only seen it double in size, add a second entrance, a new outdoor gaming terrace and a bigger bar area, but has also seen the casino benefit from a premium design with a distinct Welsh flavour. The design incorporates indigenous materials including slate for which Wales is renowned. Gaps in the slate and in the ceiling house contemporary lighting, softly illuminating the casino. In the new bar, slate gives way to copper, another nod to Wales’ mining heritage. Duncan Savage commented: “Our investment in this state of the art casino shows our commitment to not only Cardiff but to Wales and the relaunch has been a great success. We are hugely excited about the future of this fantastic casino situated in the heart of the city.”
