Inside the former Ritz Club<\/p><\/div>\n

The casino license of the Former Ritz Club Casino<\/a> that stood within the Ritz Hotel for decades has been acquired by Hard Rock International.<\/p>\n

With the acquisition of the license it is expected now that the US based firm will look for alternate sites to develop a new casino within the city of London.<\/p>\n

It has been rumoured before that Hard Rock<\/a> wanted to develop a casino in the capital but over recent years has not taken that step further until the announcement by the firm today.<\/p>\n

Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International said on the announcement: \u201cWe look forward to expanding our brand offerings within London and bringing our award-winning hospitality, gaming and entertainment to the birthplace of Hard Rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hard Rock International is a major player now in hospitality, leisure and gaming with venues in 69 countries with 240 locations within them, spanning hotels, cafes, shops and casinos.<\/p>\n

Most recently the company entered into the online sportsbook business with a joint venture of online industry veterans such as former Stars Group CEO Rafi Ashkenazi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
