🎲 Les Ambassadeurs Club Limited

This private limited company operates a high-end, members-only casino business and holds an active operating licence from the Gambling Commission in Great Britain. It is primarily associated with non-remote casino gambling, conducted in a land-based club environment. The company was incorporated in April 1992 and forms part of a corporate structure that has changed ownership several times since the late 20th century.

The club’s modern form developed out of a gaming and social club originally run by John Mills during and after the Second World War. Mills opened a club in Hanover Square during the war years and, in 1950, moved the operation to a Georgian property at 5 Hamilton Place. In the early 1960s, associated ventures such as Le Cercle functioned as members-only gaming facilities and contributed to the development of formalised casino-style gaming in London.

In 1981 the business was acquired by London Clubs International, later part of Caesars Entertainment Corporation. In 2006 it was sold to Bluestream Holdings Limited. In 2016, the entire issued share capital of the company was acquired by Landing International Development Limited, a Hong Kong-based gaming and resort group, as disclosed in public filings. In 2017 the company was sold on by Landing International to investor Cho Hung Suen. The company continues to trade as a private members’ casino business under this ownership structure.
