Victoria Gate Casino, Leeds, England

The action never stops at Victoria Gate. The casino is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A super-casino, Victoria Gate boasts a range of games, restaurants, and cafes. The Live Bar is open 24/7 to keep you covered day and night, and other bars and eateries have their own individual opening hours between 10 am until the early hours of the morning.

Victoria Gate is a hub of different restaurants, bars, and games. As such, there is no single dress code. The casino prides itself on providing a night of high-end entertainment and glamour, so sticking to the long-standing casino etiquette of smart casual is recommended.

It’s also a good idea to plan your wardrobe in advance. Keep in mind that the glitzy curve bar features indulgent champagne cocktails and live music from a grand piano, so dress up if you’re heading in that direction. If a heavyweight live sports night is your thing, smart casual is suitable.

Poker is at the heart of the Victoria Casino experience and sets it apart from the Leeds Westgate Casino. With a dedicated 100-seat poker area, this is where the action happens.

And if you want top-end tournaments, look no further. Starting stacks for tournaments are £20,000, prize pools are between £4,000 and £5,000, and buy-ins range from £25 to £50. A Royal Flush progressive jackpot is also available, with a £5,500 jackpot.

Regular tournament nights include Super 25, Mega 30, Big 30, Monday Club 35, VGC Fifty, and 8-Max. The clue to the buy-in is in the name!

Make sure that you check the website to keep up-to-date with tournament dates and times. Regular tournaments are normally held six days per week, and start-times vary from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

However, Victoria Gate also holds one-off tournaments, including Mega 75 Tournaments with a guaranteed £20,000 payout and the annual Birthday Tournament. To keep up with these special events, you can become a member of the Blue Sapphire club and receive details straight to your email.

Poker is what has made this Casino famous amongst Casinos in Leeds, and that popularity guarantees the crowds. To ensure a place at the regular tournaments it is highly recommended that you pre-register at the Casino Poker Desk.
