Genting Club Reading 102s

Just a stone’s throw from the banks of the River Thames outside Reading’s centre is the town’s casino, Genting Club. It’s around a half an hour walk from the town centre but is conveniently located for the railway station, which is about 10 minutes away by bus. Reading is about 30 miles west of the closest major airport, London Heathrow and there’s a fairly direct bus which will take you just over an hour, whilst alternatively a taxi will take you there in about half that time. Free parking is provided and if the casino car park’s full just park in Rivermead opposite and pay the charge which the casino will refund you. 524c2d

The electronic gaming facilities are now fully operational 24 hours a day. This means you can play on the multi-theme slot machines any time of the day or night for a chance to win the progressive link jackpots of up to £20,000. Electronic roulette is also available as there’s an automated wheel you can bet on when the live wheels are out of action. There are 34 roulette terminals, each with a high definition 26 inch colour screen.

From 12pm-6am you can also play traditional, live casino games. This includes eight American roulette wheels with £1 minimum stake, three blackjack and three card poker tables and a single table for baccarat. There’s also a 90 seater poker room which hosts a tournament every night of the week. The buy-ins vary from £5 to £100 and the prize pots go up to £10,000. Games start at 8pm every day except for Sundays when it’s a 3pm kick off. Cash games are also available according to demand and dealer availability.

The Fahrenheit restaurant is open daily from 7pm to 11pm and 1am on weekends and takes its name from the famous Josper Grills they use, which reach temperatures up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. This grill is used in preparation of some dishes and gives a smoky barbecue flavour to the food. On Sunday and Monday there’s also a Chinese option at lunch time from 11:30pm to 2am at just £5 per head.

If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, both the restaurant and the Late Bar serve from the Graze and Play menu which offers small meals and snacks until the early hours. The bar also has a cocktail menu starting at just £4.50 per drink.

If you’re prepared to walk to the town centre for accommodation you’ll find a myriad of options but there are a few close by to the casino as well. The Premier Inn and Crowne Plaza are both within walking distance, the latter of which overlooks the river.
