The largest casino in the north of England and Scotland, the Leeds Victoria Gate “super casino,” will open to the public Thursday, January 26. Operated by Global Gaming Ventures, the 50,000 square foot venue will be the UK’s third-largest casino, with a 1,400-person capacity, including a 100-player poker room, plus 75 electronic games, 140 slot machines and 24 table games.
Venue Director Patrick Noakes said, “Leeds has never seen an entertainment destination like this before. We can’t wait for people to step through the doors and see the spectacular space for themselves. It’s a game-changer, not just for casino fans but for the city as a whole. Victoria Gate Casino will strengthen Leeds’ already diverse entertainment, dining and nightlife offering and will provide so much more than just gaming. Our three distinct venues – Live Bar, Curve and V Restaurant – will play a pivotal role in that.”
Noakes said Live Bar and Curve have formed partnerships with Molson Coors and Moët and Chandon. Curve, which overlooks the casino floor, will offer cocktails, champagne and craft beer. V Restaurant will offer the finest regional produce plus atop quality wine list in an informal brasserie style setting. And Live Bar, the hub of the casino, will offer wall-to-wall, state-of-the-art screens displaying the latest sport action.
