Denise Coates and her family, who have been topping the Sunday Times Tax List for several years now, once again found themselves on the news outlet’s Rich List. Taking the prestigious 16th spot on the list, Denise, John and Peter Coates and family have an estimated net worth of around £8.975 billion ($11.15 billion).

The sixteenth place is notably the same place the family behind Bet365 occupied in the 2022 list. According to the Sunday Times, the Coates’ wealth increased by £158 million ($196 million) since last year.

The bet365 brand was created in 2001 after Denise Coates borrowed GBP 15 million to launch the brand. The gambit quickly proved to be a resounding success, with bet365 now cemented as one of the best operators in the UK.

Because of the size of its gambling brand, Denise Coates is one of the biggest taxpayers in the United Kingdom. Last year, Coates had a personal income tax of $642 million, placing her at the top of the list.

There Were Some Major Changes

At the top of the Rich List were Gopi Hinduja and family with £35 billion. The Indian-born businessman operates the influential Hinduja Group, which is behind companies such as Gulf Oil International and IndusInd Bank. The current result translates to an increase of over £6.5 billion.

Next up on the list is Sir Jim Ratcliffe with £29.69 billion. His chemicals business INEOS skyrocketed in 2023, resulting in a wealth increase of a whopping £23.61 billion.

Ratcliffe was followed by Sir Leonard Blavatnik, who is a famous music and media investor. Thanks to his company, Access Industries, Blavatnik is now worth £28.63 billion, an increase of £8.63 billion.

David and Simon Reuben and family, meanwhile, were relegated to the fourth spot on the list. Their worth, according to the Sunday Times Rich List, is £24.4 billion, representing an increase of £2.13 billion.

Sir James Dyson and family, previously second, fell to the fifth spot with £23 billion. Their worth did not increase or decrease significantly, the list claims.

Denise Coates and her family, on the other hand, are situated between Alex Gerko and Anders Holch Povlsen. Gerko, previously ranked 89th, propelled himself to the prestigious 15th spot with £9.13 billion (an increase of £7.13 billion). Povlsen, on the other hand, took 17th place with a worth of £8.5 billion.

Caesars Palace, a Las Vegas casino owned by Caesars Entertainment, paid out two big wins last Friday. One of the winners struck a big prize when playing a slot, while the other cashed in on video poker.

The first win saw one Caesars Palace Las Vegas Visitor win $489,649 from playing a slot called Red, White and Blue. The game is developed by International Game Technology, a world leader in gambling tech and solutions.

While Caesars refrained from releasing more details about the player and the winner themselves preferred to remain anonymous, we know that the life-changing moment happened on Friday morning.

Several hours later another player’s life was changed by Caesars Palace. The second player won $240,000 from video poker, although he also preferred to remain anonymous for the time being.

Other Recent Caesars Palace Winners

Many Caesars Palace players have been getting lucky since the beginning of the year as these are far from the only jackpot winners for the year.

In early February, Bonnie Rivers, a running back for the Los Angeles Rams, won a whopping $514,837 from Three Card Poker.

Around a month ago, an anonymous player also became a jackpot winner, taking home $401,000 thanks to his video poker performance.

A day later, two players won video poker jackpots at the venue. The first of the two won $440,000, while the second one earned $120,300.

Caesars Continues to Lead Gambling in NA

Caesars Entertainment is one of the biggest gambling companies in North America. The famous operator has an extensive reach and it’s the company of choice of many players in the US and beyond.

The online gambling content aggregator Pariplay just unveiled an agreement with Caesars Entertainment’s Ontarian arm, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino. Under the agreement, the former company will power the gambling juggernaut with games. As a result, titles from Wizard Games, a studio owned by Pariplay, launched on Caesars Sportsbook & Casino.

Caesars experienced certain setbacks in 2022, because of which its losses ramped up and its rating by S&P Global Ratings declined. Luckily, the operator’s business rebounded and the ratings firm eventually improved its rating.

Earlier this month, the casino giant provided industry enthusiasts with a sneak peek into its upcoming casino in Nebraska. The property is called Harrah’s Columbus, NE Racing & Casino and marks Caesars’ foray into the Cornhusker State.

At the beginning of March, Caesars also announced that it is stepping up the fight against problem gambling.
