Fighting for quality news media in the digital age.

Pot. Kettle. Darkly pigmented

Metro Casino One of the Daily Mail’s most high-profile and successful campaigns of recent years was against the Casino Bill.

Warning that “Britain faces an epidemic of gambling addiction as the Government prepares to sweep away restrictions on the UK gaming market,” the Mail was at the forefront of a campaign against Government plans for new “super-casinos” across the country.

Axegrinder was intrigued, therefore, to see Daily Mail sister title Metro launch a veritable virtual sin city online with the new “Metro Casino”.

There the message is: “Do you have what it takes to be our top player? Win £Â£Ã‚£ playing Black jack, Roulette and other casino games.”
