The Isle of Man is too small to support two casinos.
That's the belief of the Sefton Group, which owns the Palace Hotel and Casino.

DED believes a second casino could boost tourism and help diversify the local economy, but Sefton Group chief executive Brett Martin thinks the move would have a detrimental effect:
