Casinos in Manchester There are casinos all over the United Kingdom, which is isn’t all that surprising when you consider the fact that gambling is legal in the country and people like to have a flutter every now and again. As you might imagine, it is more common for there to be a concentration of casinos in city centres, with Manchester being no exception. In fact, the only different thing about Manchester is that you could extend your consideration to the Greater Manchester area, which also takes in the likes of Stockport and Salford. Whilst it still doesn’t see the city’s casino offerings rival the likes of the capital, it is still respectable. Looking at the Casinos We will take a closer look at each of the casinos on their own individual pages on this site, but here is a quick look at the sort of things that they have on offer, including where about they are based: Genting Casino Manchester 110 Portland Street, Manchester, M1 4RL | More Information If you’re looking for more than just a venue where you can place a few bets then you’ll be pleased enough with what the Genting Casino in the city centre of Manchester has to offer.

Not only that, but there are plenty of slot machines too. Grosvenor Casino Soames 35/39 George Street, Manchester, M1 4HQ | More Information The Grosvenor Casino chain sells every one of its venues as ‘more than just a casino’, so it isn’t always easy to know when this is true and when it’s just marketing bluster. In the case of their Soames venue, though, it is very much worth paying attention to, given the fact that it’s close to the centre of Manchester in the heart of Chinatown. That makes it ideal for people that would like to get a bite to eat or have a couple of drinks in between their visits to the roulette table or the dealing of some blackjack cards. If you prefer something a little more passive then the slot machines will doubtless be just what you’re after.

Grosvenor Manchester Bury New Road 2 Ramsgate Street, Manchester, M8 9SG | More Information A member the Grosvenor Casino chain, the Manchester Bury New Road promises more than just a night at a casino. That is in part owing to the fact that this is where you’ll want to head if you’re a poker fan, given the fact that it boasts a card room with enough room for more than 200 people. That means that the likes of cash games and competitions are taking place there regularly, whilst the casino itself still has all of the usual table games and slots that you’ll no doubt have come to expect from gaming floors, as well as a restaurant and bar that are worth a visit on their own. Whether you’re after a place to play three-card poker or electronic roulette, you’ve found it. Grosvenor Casino Didsbury Parrswood Entertainment Centre, Wilmslow Road, Manchester, M20 5PG | More Information If you’re looking for somewhere in Didsbury to head to in order to place a couple of bets, you would do a lot worse than the Grosvenor Casino Didsbury.

The gaming floor includes the likes of roulette and three-card poker, whilst the slot machines have all of the usual games that are de rigueur. There is an entertainment lounge and somewhere you could hold a conference, but one of the best things is the poker room that sees people head along for cash games and tournaments. Grosvenor Casino Stockport 59 Wellington Street, Stockport, SK1 3AD | More Information The main watchword for the member of the Grosvenor Casino chain in Stockport is ‘relax’, with the entire vibe being one of fun and entertainment. Located not far from Stockport Town Hall, the casino’s central location means that it tends to be quite popular at times.

Genting Casino Bolton Higher Bridge Street, Bolton, BL1 2HA | More Information In terms of casinos in Manchester or even the Greater Manchester region, it might be pushing the limit a little bit to talk about Bolton. Ever the completists, though, it is only right to talk about it. With amazing architecture on the outside of the building, inside you’ll find the up-to-date games that you’d expect from a modern day casino. Obviously the table games feel just like you’d expect them to and offer a similar experience to how they would’ve been when the building was first built, but you can even play electronic versions of them if that’s your bag. With a bar and somewhere to get a bite to eat, it’s a venue that tickets a lot of boxes.
