Genting Club Reading

Genting Club Reading, a medium sized casino, has undergone an extensive refurbishment (2012). It is located in the large town of Reading in Berkshire and is situated just round the corner from the River Thames.

Although the casino is a little way out of the centre – about a 20 minute walk – there are buses which will take you to the casino door. It is only a mile from the main train station and 30 miles west of Heathrow airport. Drivers should leave the M4 at Junction 11 and follow the A329 towards Caversham. The casino provides free parking all day but if the car park is full, park in Rivermead car park opposite and they will refund you the £1 charge. There are a few hotels to choose from within walking distance as well as more in the town centre. Nearest to the casino are the Premier Inn (Caversham Bridge) and the Crowne Plaza.

Although you are able to play slots and electronic roulette all day and night, live gaming starts at 12.00pm through to 6.00am. As well as £20,000 jackpots, they also have slot promotions whereby bets are matched up to £5 between 7.00am and midday. They have eight American roulette tables as well as three each of blackjack and three card poker and one baccarat. Poker features prominently with tournaments held every day and twice on Sunday – starting at 7.30pm in the evening and 3.00pm on Sunday afternoon. Cash games are also available every night – with No Limit Texas Hold’em, Omaha or Dealers Choice played. For those wishing to play for higher stakes or in dealer dealt private games, contact the casino to arrange a VIP room. If you introduce a friend, next time you visit you will get 500 Genting Loyalty points and the loyalty scheme is well worth joining.

The Late Bar offers a wide range of drinks, snacks and light meals and boasts a huge nine screen video wall where you can watch live sport. A wide range of dining options are available from the Fahrenheit restaurant or from the ‘Graze and Play’ menu.
