London may not be one of the most important casino cities in the world and it does not as yet have any super-casinos or huge casino hotels, such as those found in Las Vegas, but it still does manage to attract some very high stake players who tend to play in the more up-market casinos based in Mayfair.
Some of the of high stake Mayfair casinos include Aspinalls, the Colony Club, the Clermont Club, Crockfords Casino, Fifty London, Les Ambassadeurs, Palm Beach Casino, and the Ritz Club. To play at most of these you need to be seriously rich, and some have membership fees of £1,000 or more just to walk in the door.
If you are more of an online casino player who enjoys an occasional visit to a real casino in between slots at visit to a real casino in between slots at www.jackpotcity.co.uk/online-slots/, then there is no shortage of low to middle stakes casinos in the city away from Mayfair. A number of these are based in hotels, for instance the Connoisseur Club can be found in the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington.
If you are looking for a casino that is generally great fun and where you can place some low stake bets without feeling embarrassed, then the Grosvenor G Casino in Piccadilly would be a good choice. The casino offers experience packages which are a great way to learn how to get around a casino and how to play casino games.
There are four Gala casinos in London; in Russell Square, Tottenham Court Road, Baker Street and Queensway. These are all low to middle stake casinos, and typically the minimum stake is £1.00 on games such as roulette, the maximum stake is £5,000 on Punto Banko, and drinks are reasonably priced for London – for instance a Margarita costs just £6.25 and you can get a bottle of basic red wine for around £18. 00, so you can have a great night out without spending a fortune.
