Casinos to get OK to lend to gamblers

The sky’s the limit for wealthy casino gamers, as the multi-bill to be voted on Monday includes a clause allowing casinos to lend their punters as much as they request.

The proposed regulation will permit casino institutions to issue credit of at least 50,000 euros to affluent players.

The main objective, according to a well-informed source, is to facilitate moneyed travelers who want to come to Greece to try their luck, adding that many people from Arab states and the Far East who enjoy gambling shape their holiday plans according to their chances at casinos.

Panic on board as aircraft narrowly avoids plunging into the sea

A passenger plane skidded off a runway and down the side of a cliff at an airport in northern Turkey.

The Pegasus Airlines jet narrowly avoided plunging into the sea after it came to a stop on a mud bank while landing at Trabzon Airport on the Black Sea coast.

Pictures showed it nose down the slope just metres from the water's edge.
