With casinos all over London, Grosvenor is a company to be reckoned with if you want to get into the gambling scene in the capital. The venue that the have on offer in Victoria is very much going for the chilled vibe, thanks in no small part to the presence of The Loft, which is an open air gaming terrace that is split over two levels and allows punters to have a view of the London skyline whilst the gamble. The Victoria member of he Grosvenor Casino chain also has The Poker Room above it, which is one of the best poker rooms in all of Europe and is very much a draw on its own, even without the casino that is beneath it.
Outdoor Gaming Is Fun For All
Each of London’s casinos needs to compete against the other ones that are in the capital if they are to be able to win over customers. As a result, you’ll find that many of them try to have a ‘hook’ that can’t be replicated. In the case of the Grosvenor Casino in Victoria, that ‘hook’ comes in the form of The Loft. It is a new offering and promises punters the chance to place bets in the chilled out environment of an open air setting. There is a chilled atmosphere on offer, with some table games available alongside the bar area where punters like to sit and have a drink. There are also electronic games machines on offer here, should that tick your boxes.
The Poker Room
Located above ‘The Vic’ is The Poker Room, which opened in the November of 2013. Offering 35 poker tables, this is one of the biggest poker rooms in Europe and is where the GUKPT Grand Final takes place. That is once a year, but the rest of the time you can engage in the likes of cash games and regular tournaments. If you’re a poker fan then you’d be absolutely mad to miss out on the chance to play at least a hand here, given the fact that the Poker Room is set up to cater to the best poker players in the world. The Poker Room is one of the best places that you’ll be able to play it outside of Vegas, so is absolutely worth a look.
Plenty of Gaming Options
If you like your casino games then you’re going to be served well by the Victoria branch of Grosvenor Casinos. Located in a decent location for London, the first floor is where you’ll find the main gaming area. All of the classic casino offerings that you’ll have come to expect will be found there, from three-card poker to roulette via Punto Banco and blackjack. There is also a decent restaurant on site if you want to take a break, serving the likes of Arabic and Thai food in order to cater to all tastes. The Club Room, meanwhile, can be hired for private play if you’re so inclined, so it’s a casino that offers plenty to its varied customer base.
Casino Reviews
The vic is one of the best places in London to play poker – the card room is a pretty decent size and the games are good – not just rich dudes playing roulette like at the empire.
One nice feature of the card room is that they tweet their cash game status so you can see what games are playing and what kind of a wait there is to get a table: https://twitter.com/#!/@TheVicCardroom
There are daily tournaments and the cash games run 24 hours a day. The Vic is also home to a bunch of big poker tournaments throughout the year.
Drinks prices aren’t shocking and the bar food is good for a quick snack whilst you’re taking a break from playing. There are also plenty of slots and table games if you’re more into that kind of thing, but I think a large proportion of people come for the poker.
If I had to give it a rating I’d say… 8 out of 10. It’s definitely one of my favourite places to play poker, along with the Fox (but the Vic is closer to my house!).
