Casino opens on Sealand August 2, 2007, 3:22 pm (4 years ago)Self proclaimed independent mini-state Sealand has teamed up with Microgaming to open a casino as its latest business venture.
The new casino in the 40-year-old principality offers 300 games and 15 progressive jackpots worth 2 million British pounds and is operated online so customers do not even have to visit the country, which is only accessible by helicopter or by boat - the latter is thought to be quite a risky option. The appointment of the casino is the first Royal appointment ever made and Prince Regent Michael is pleased to endorse this product as one it is hoped will provide benefit to users, a statement said. The Principality, which is not officially recognized despite numerous demands by its ‘Royal Family’, is an old war-time fort located seven miles off the east coast of England. Sealand was established 40 years ago and is ruled by Prince Roy and Princess Joan Bates, and their son Prince Michael, Prince Regent. The renegade state has been in the news many times in the past and is apparently up for grabs for 65 million British pounds with a Spanish estate agency handling the sale. There were rumors earlier this year that Sealand could be bought by an online gambling company in order to escape United States’ Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. The operators of the new casino say all winnings are tax free and can be transferred to any bank account in the world. The opening of the casino marks Sealand’s imminent 40th anniversary on September 2.
