Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Goodness what a change! Last time I was here we vowed never to return but I'm so glad we did! Right from entering and getting a lovely warm welcome to bar staff to roulette dealers, each and every single one of them made our visit fantastic! The change from December last year is a hugely positive one! We'll worthy of 5 green circles. Thank you Aspers we had a great afternoon here.

Sadly this Casino feels like its winding down. Everytime I go there is less and less slot machines and more closed tables.
Honestly shocking to see the state of the slot area, less than half the machines there was a year ago and to make it even worse they have force muted all the machines. Feels like you are in a library playing one of the 4 slot machines silently.
Add to that the ridiculous price of drinks when in other casinos they literally go out of there way to give you free drinks since your spending a lot of money.
I just cant see this casino lasting much longer.

Went to the Thursday free poker tournament on 03/11/23. The tournament was well ran, but one of the staff was very rude. I went to get signed up at around 6:45pm and the man behind the counter was generally impolite. I then went back and asked him a simple question later, he started being very sarcastic and overall unpleasant.
I will be back, but hopefully don’t have this guy on duty🙏

Sorry to hear you had this experience with us. This is not the level of service we expect from our colleagues and we will be investigating this internally.
I hope we will have the chance to welcome you back for a future Poker Tournament and have the opportunity to turn things around!

Wouldn’t waste your time here, besides the bar staff the rest of them have no customer service skills whatsoever. Cashed in a few wins below £100 a few times with no issue but the two members of staff working the payout desk were very odd and rude each time. I then went to cash out a £90 and £20 slip from the slots and I was asked to provide ID, I only had my bank card on me and said I would provide my ID online but she wasn’t interested and was extremely rude. After speaking to the manger who was also rather strange and rude I was escorted out by security, apparently if your wanting to identify yourself to receive your winnings rather than being robbed your being aggressive. Not everyone has all forms of photo ID’s in their pocket but most people can provide a photo ID such as a drivers license via their mobile phone it is 2023 after all. Won’t be coming back and I’d advise anyone wanting a good time to give this place a miss.

Has the worst experience at this place yesterday. Was refused entry by the woman who claimed to be the manager as my younger brother has a learning difficulty. No reason for this other than saying she has to take care of all of her customers and couldn’t possibly allow someone in there who has learning difficulty’s. She was not aware he had any type of disability other than hearing us saying his carers were with us. Absolute discrimination towards him & spoke straight through him as though he wasn’t even there. Totally knocked his confidence after only just being old enough to enjoy a few hours out with family. Will be definitely taking this further and all of our reviews seem too be getting removed. Will continue to keep posting until this is noticed.

Been here on multiple times. Never been so offended by the tall lad with the shaved head and the blonde member of staff who works on Freyas bar.
They kept looking at me - and despite being open till 4am - at 03:30am they told me the bar was closed.
They then started giggling at me making clearly sarastic comments. They just lost my business which is very regular. The company will not care

What has happened. I’ve been going here on and off for years.
This needs to be a membership casino.
It’s clear that the foreign (white) males running around trying to intimidate guests are doing more to make money than gamble
This is the first time I’ve taken my wife and sadly the last
I shall return but. Not on a Saturday night

Disgusting. I was turned away from the door (by the bouncers) for wearing shorts. I am a pro poker player and I always play here in a pair of shorts, If the terms were changed then they should be on the website. I turned up in my nike shorts but when I called the customer services, they did not help.
