Genting Casino Blackpool - Games, Hours, Venue Info

What We Offer on the Gaming Floor

At our venue on 64 Queens Promenade, North Shore, Blackpool FY2 9QG, we run a full casino floor with staffed tables and electronic gaming. It is a proper mix, not just a couple of tables next to a bank of slots. Live tables usually start from 5pm every day, so it is useful to keep that time in mind if you are coming mainly for live play.

Our main live table games are Blackjack, American Roulette, Three Card Poker and Baccarat. We keep electronic roulette and slots available throughout normal venue hours. So if you walk in before 5pm, there is still gaming on offer while the live tables are getting ready. Our LIVE e-tables sit between the two worlds a bit - real-time games, but you play through a terminal, which helps if you want the live experience without waiting around a busy table.

Poker is treated as a separate area for us. We host both tournaments and cash games from Tuesday to Sunday, making the venue a regular stop for Blackpool players who prefer structured poker rather than a quick casual game. Cash games range from £1/£1 No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha through to £2/£5 NLH and £5/£5 PLO. Timings can move around, so if you are coming for a specific tournament or cash session, it is important to call in advance and confirm the current schedule.

Opening Hours

We open our doors at 10am every day. Closing times change slightly across the week: from Sunday to Thursday we close at 4am, while on Friday and Saturday the venue runs until 5am. The venue is closed on Christmas Day. The bar follows its own timetable, usually from 2pm through to 3am.

There is no admission fee. You can walk in without paying at the door, and for a standard visit you do not need a membership. We do apply a smart-casual dress code though, so it is worth planning your outfit in advance. Turning up in full sportswear can lead to a conversation at the entrance that most people prefer to skip. Anyone who appears under 21 will be asked to show valid photo ID before entering or playing - that requirement is strict and we keep to it.

Reaching us is usually simple. We sit on Queens Promenade in the North Shore area, and local buses and trams serve the promenade. The closest tram stop is the Cabin stop. If you are driving, we have a free on-site car park for customers. That is useful, especially at weekends when parking around Blackpool can be awkward and time-consuming.

Planning Your First Visit

If you have not been to a casino before, it is often easier to arrive earlier in the evening. The gaming floor tends to be quieter, the staff have a bit more time to talk through basics, and you have space to get used to the layout before the late-night crowd builds up.

A typical visit to Genting Casino Blackpool usually looks something like this:

1. Start by checking whether you are coming on a weekday or a weekend night, as closing times differ by an hour.
2. Work out your route - by tram to the Cabin stop, by local bus, or by car using our free parking on site.
3. Pick out smart-casual clothing. You do not need black-tie, but very casual sportswear is not in line with our dress policy.
4. Put a photo ID in your wallet if there is any chance you look under 21. It is easier to have it ready than to be turned away.
5. If you arrive before 5pm, remember that the bar opens from 2pm and all the electronic gaming is already running.
6. For poker nights, call us on +44 (0)1253 352628 before travelling so you know the current tournament and cash game times.

The phone number above is the direct line for our Blackpool team. It is the right contact point for information on daily gaming schedules, poker events, offers that may be running on site, or any venue-specific query. We also post updates and changes on our Facebook page under the name “Genting Casino Blackpool”.

Fahrenheit Restaurant and the Bar

Inside the casino, you will find the Fahrenheit restaurant alongside the main bar. Both sit within the same building as the gaming floor, which means you can eat, have a drink and get back to your game without stepping outside. That tends to work well if you plan to stay with us for the evening rather than just drop in briefly.

The bar starts serving from 2pm, a few hours before the live tables open. The Fahrenheit restaurant is open from 5pm to 11pm daily. That gap is handy if you prefer to arrive in good time, sit down for dinner or a drink, and then move onto the gaming floor once the live action begins at 5pm. For a lot of guests, that turns the casino into a full evening out, not only somewhere to place a few bets.

Because we operate late - 4am or 5am depending on the day - the mix of bar, restaurant and gaming offers a fair bit of flexibility. Some guests book a meal and then spend a couple of hours on the tables or slots before heading home. Others come in later, skip the restaurant, and play through until close. Both approaches fit within how the venue is set up.

Our Place in the Genting UK Network

Genting Casino Blackpool forms part of the wider Genting Casinos UK Limited portfolio. Our site operates under a premises licence issued by Blackpool Borough Council and appears on the UK Gambling Commission public register as a Casino category venue.

Genting Casinos UK Limited runs multiple properties across England and Scotland, including locations in Birmingham, Coventry, London, Manchester, Plymouth, Sheffield, Southampton, Glasgow and Liverpool, among others. Within that overall network, our Blackpool venue serves as a key site on the Lancashire coast. Across all of these venues, the brand standards are aligned - trained professional croupiers, structured gaming times, and food and drink facilities on site.

Behind the UK operation sits the broader Genting Group, a global hospitality and gaming organisation. In Great Britain, the day-to-day running of casinos is handled by Genting Casinos UK Limited, which manages the licensed premises estate. We are part of that framework and work under the same regulatory rules and operational standards as other Genting venues around the country.

Responsible Gaming

We operate in line with a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, and responsible gaming requirements apply throughout the venue. It is important to remember that we enforce them. The “Challenge 21” approach means photo ID is required for anyone who appears to be under 21, at the door as well as at the tables.

If you would like to set personal limits, take a break, or you feel that gambling may be becoming a problem, you can speak to our team directly while you are on site or contact us later by phone. There are also support routes available through the UK Gambling Commission framework and associated services. As part of the Genting Casinos network, our Blackpool casino operates under the same responsible gaming standards as other licensed casino premises in Great Britain.
