A casino in Milton Keynes, England, has closed its doors until further notice after its owner, Aspers UK Holdings Limited, went into administration. Administrators were appointed on Tuesday, April 8, and are now pursuing a potential transaction, according to local media reports.
The Casino MK, which opened in 2013, is located at the Xscape building in Central Milton Keynes. Aspers UK Holdings Limited, Aspers Group Limited, Aspers Finance Limited, and Aspers Milton Keynes Limited have all been placed into administration, while staff at FTI Consulting have been appointed as joint administrators, reports MKCitizen.
The casino offers a selection of slots and electronic and table games, along with poker tournaments for members. Non-gaming offerings include live music and food at its restaurant, Clary's Bar and Grill.
According to media reports, staff have been sent home and were told not to return to work until further notice.
The property seemingly confirmed the news in a Facebook post. "We’re sorry but The Casino MK is currently closed," the publication states. "Please check back here for more information about reopening in due course."
