Hugh Hefner Set To Open Playboy Casinos

News that Playboy will soon be opening a casino in Macau has been quickly followed by news that Hugh Hefner is looking towards the UK for his next venture. The original London Playboy Clubs were closed down in the 1980s after police suspected they had become a front for illegal gambling dens and other criminal activity. However, freshly funded and looking to expand his empire we are set to see Playboy Clubs Mark 2, with legal casino games and gambling tables. While news of the clubs has caught the eye of many, the announcement that the Playboy Bunnies will also be part of the new clubs has brought a rye smile to many gamblers across the UK. The famous Playboy Bunny Girls also left the UK when the clubs were closed and are set to re-emerge once more from the shadows. There are a number of venues under consideration in London, but knowing Hefner and his business style the clubs will not be hidden away, likely to be as large as life and visible for miles! It looks as though the London Club may well be the first of many in the UK as the Playboy boss looks to capture the hearts and wallets of some of UK’s largest high rollers.
