A plan to turn a derelict pub in Hull city centre into a 24-hour gambling venue has been approved.

Located in Paragon Street, it last traded as the Kingston Tavern and was formerly a Yates' Wine Lodge.

An application for a gambling license has been submitted to Hull City Council by JR Planning Consultants.

It is set to operate seven days a week with gambling machines such as slots and bingo.

Was Scribes Bar in the mid 80's when town was booming around there, queuing to get in.

I can’t see how that can be viewed as a positive step…. Fruit machines I’m guessing rather than a casino…council getting desperate to fill empty units I guess.
Profit on those things are huge….only ever one loser….

A 24 hour gambling venue
Will only lead to crime and unpleasent activities in that area

Fruit machines have to pay out a certain percentage. Casinos don’t on roulette blackjack etc.

It's stood empty for 12 years, and there's nothing to say it wouldn't be empty for another 12. Gambling is not mandatory, and there's plenty of other places where people can lose their money by gambling it away. :emoticon-0125-mmm:
