Grosvenor Casino Leicester - Gaming, Poker and Sports Betting

The Gaming Floor

Grosvenor Casino Leicester is based at 90 Highcross Street, Leicester LE1 4NN, in the heart of the city. As part of The Rank Group network of approximately 53 UK casinos, we run under a UK Gambling Commission licence, so our compliance and regulatory framework is locked in before you even step inside.

On the main floor you will find the classic table mix: Roulette, Blackjack and Poker. Roulette is available as traditional live-dealer tables and on electronic terminals. The terminals suit players who like to control their own pace a bit more, without hanging around for a spare chair. Blackjack is spread across several tables with different minimums, so a quick casual session and a longer, higher-stakes visit both sit comfortably next to each other.

Slot machines are positioned alongside the tables rather than hidden in a separate room. The layout is open enough that moving from Roulette to a slot or a Blackjack table is basically a short walk, not a trek across the venue. Throughout the floor, our team are on hand if you need help with how a game works, chip exchanges, or just a quick clarification on a rule.

One practical point before you visit: various directories list our opening hours differently. You might see us marked as 24 hours in one place and 6:00 PM to 12:30 AM (for restaurant only) in another. It is worth making a quick call to +44 116 242 6070 to check the current hours, particularly if you are planning a late or very early session.

Poker Room

Our poker room operates as its own space, separate from the main gaming floor. That matters if you are here to play a full session rather than dropping in for a couple of hands. It feels like a dedicated card room, not just poker tables squeezed into a corner.

We host cash games across several tables, with stakes adjusted to work for different bankrolls. Tournaments run to set formats, with fixed buy-ins, clear blind structures and defined prize pools. Poker tournaments take place on a weekly basis. If live poker is new for you, the cash tables are usually the calmer way to get used to the environment before you put money into a scheduled tournament.

Getting yourself into a game is pretty straightforward:

1. Head over to the poker room entrance and speak with the host about current cash tables or when the next tournament is due to start.
2. Register your name for a cash seat or pay your tournament buy-in at the desk.
3. Take the seat card or allocation the host gives you, along with your initial chips.
4. Before the first hand, double-check the blind levels or cash stakes with the dealer so everyone is on the same page.
5. When you finish playing, cash out your chips back at the poker room desk.

Tournament schedules can and do move around from time to time. Because of that, calling us in advance is more reliable than assuming an online listing is up to date. A quick phone check saves turning up for a game that has shifted or already started.

Sports Lounge and Betting

Our Leicester casino was the first Grosvenor venue to properly combine a dedicated sports lounge with in-venue sports betting. It is more than just a casino floor where a TV happens to be on in the background. The idea is to treat it as a dual-purpose space for both gaming and sport.

In the sports lounge, multiple screens run live fixtures from different sports at the same time. While you are watching, you can place bets on the events as they play out, which puts the feel closer to a sports bar with integrated betting than a traditional casino pit. The lounge opens directly into the bar area, so moving from a drink to a bet and back to your seat is a simple loop without leaving the main floor.

Match days work particularly well in this setup. You can build an evening round one big game, or just slot a few bets and some screen time into a normal casino visit without needing a separate venue.

Restaurant, Bar and Practical Facilities

Our on-site restaurant runs an a la carte menu, with table bookings handled through grosvenorcasinos.com/local-casinos/leicester or via OpenTable. For restaurant reservations, the dress code is listed as Business Casual (for restaurant reservations). It is worth checking that everyone in your group is aware before you arrive to avoid last-minute wardrobe issues.

If you want to book a table, the flow is simple enough:

1. Go to the Grosvenor Casino Leicester page or our OpenTable listing.
2. Select your date, your preferred time slot, and how many guests are attending, then add any dietary notes.
3. Make sure the Business Casual dress code is fine for your party and confirm the booking.
4. Keep hold of the confirmation reference and head to 90 Highcross Street for the time you picked.
5. When you arrive, check in with the restaurant host and they will take it from there. If anything changes beforehand, +44 116 242 6070 is the number to call.

The late-night bar runs to match our casino opening hours and sits within the main venue footprint. You do not have to step outside or leave the gaming area for a drink or a soft break between sessions. Guests arriving by car can use our private car park with free parking, which often works out cheaper than paying at public car parks in the wider Highcross area, especially on longer evening visits.

One general reminder that applies across the board: if you are planning around a very specific match, promotion or tournament, phoning us first is almost always the safer approach. Times, events and live schedules can move, and those two minutes on the phone can prevent a wasted trip.

Brand and Regulatory Background

Grosvenor Casinos started life in 1970 under the name County Clubs. Over time The Rank Group developed that original base into one of the largest casino brands in the UK, now operating approximately 53 venues in key towns and cities. The Group has its headquarters in Maidenhead and is listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: RRPP).

Every Grosvenor casino, including our Leicester site, operates under a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. That licence framework brings with it responsible gambling rules, player protection standards and a structured approach to operator compliance. We are not a small standalone room; we are part of a regulated national operator, which means we follow consistent procedures at each location.

Our Leicester property links into the same national systems as the rest of the network. That means centralised loyalty programmes, a familiar brand experience if you visit other Grosvenor casinos, and the shared online hub at grosvenorcasinos.com. Existing Grosvenor loyalty memberships work here as they are, with no extra registration needed.

Getting There and Contact Details

You will find us at 90 Highcross Street, Leicester LE1 4NN, inside the Highcross shopping and leisure area. The location is within walking distance of the city centre and straightforward to reach by car, with the added benefit that our private car park removes the question of on-street or multi-storey parking charges.

For anything you need to check in advance, the main contact number is +44 116 242 6070, or 0116 242 6070 from within the UK. The team on this line handle general queries, restaurant reservations, poker room questions and confirmation of current opening hours. No direct public email is published for the venue, so phone remains the primary way to sort details before you set off.

Our local page at grosvenorcasinos.com/local-casinos/leicester is where we post current information on promotions, upcoming events and anything specific to Grosvenor Casino Leicester. It is worth a quick look before you visit, particularly if your trip is tied to a certain event, offer or match night.
