Just to make things clear to your readers, we did not "fail in our super casino bid" (The Argus, July 25) because we never bid for a super casino in the first place.

We have, however, bid to possibly have a small or medium-size casino. According to the way the Casino Advisory Panel has ranked all the bids on its website, we are twelfth out of the 40 authorities which have bid in those categories.

With eight small and eight medium-size casinos planned, this means we still might have a chance of being chosen as a possible casino venue.
