There are now over 30 Gala Casinos located across the UK and The Isle of Man and the company’s website says that the casinos, “Offer you a great range of games in a relaxed environment, along with stylish bars and restaurants.”
All the popular casino games can be played at Gala Casinos including Blackjack, craps, Punto Banco and American Roulette amongst others. Of course, slot machines are also on offer at every Gala Casino and they are changed regularly to give players some variety. A jackpot of £4,000 can be won on some of the slot machines.
Poker players are well accommodated with the Poker Magic zone. Players can take part in a range of tournaments, depending on their skill level and beginners can learn how to play in sessions without money at stake.
At Gala Casinos, the experience is more than just gambling. An impressive food selection is on offer including international cuisines, fish dishes, tasty burgers and authentic curries. The casinos also feature a wide selection of drinks including many different cocktails, Moet & Chandon champagnes and the usual offerings of beers and spirits.
The casinos feature a Club Lounge where punters can watch live sport and play electronic roulette games on their own screens. It is planned that soon punters will be able to place sports bets in the lounge as well.
If you’d like to play at home rather than visit a Gala Casino, then galacasino.co.uk offers online games. Poker, Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat are all on offer for online players. In addition the website also offers online bingo and there is a link to sister site Coral which provides sports betting.
This year, Gala Casinos have played host to the Great British Poker Tour. It consisted of five festivals that took place in Edinburgh, Teeside, Nottingham, Bournemouth and Leeds. These events all lead up to the Grand Final which was held in Bristol in November. The finalists from the 5 festivals qualified for the final. The tour attracted a great number of professional poker players and keen amateurs alike. The Grand Final was won by Hendon’s Joe Beevers who earned £87,500 for his efforts. The popularity of the tour means it will be back next year.
