    She's alright
    Alex. Here's your fiver I love you. Your pints are average, stick behind the computer. It suits better tbh. Unfortunately I've not hit 100 characters just yet so here's a poem; Don't weep, insects - Lovers, stars themselves, Must part. It's a haiku

    Nice watering hole
    This is an amazing sight, plenty of machines to gamble on and lots of choices for drinks Alex is the best; Ben here. Just put that to hide the fact I'm reviewing again. Pints are still average, still only on my first. I expect £5 at some stage (discount or cash is fine) still love you, Alex. Ben.

    Friendly and welcoming
    I have travelled the world and visited many casinos but this casino excels in its very friendly atmosphere. What stood out for me was one of the valets, I think his name is Jean-Claude, no sooner had I finished my drink than he was there offering and serving my next one, brilliant service. There was also Lisa who was in charge of the poker and seemed to have a lot on the night I was there and coped very well. Then there was Dan the floor walker, a very courteous friendly man along with another gentleman whose name I have forgotten but he looked a little bit like the fat controller without the hat. An enjoyable friendly experience was had at the Opera House and when I'm in the area again I will certainly visit it, if not just for the pleasant atmosphere alone.

Nice friendly casino with roulette tables balckjack and threee card poker tables available. Chip value 50p upwards outside bets £5 min great compared to most casinos where minimum chip value is £1 with outside bets at £5. Machine roulette with stakes from 10p upwards. Poker games run regular by club with good prize money depending on number of people playing. Spacious bar with friendly staff. large T.v's showing all live sport. Great choice of fruit machines with stakes to suit anyone

This is a great venue and should be encouraging customers. However, food is no longer served and the Saturday night entertainment has been stopped. Overall it’s quiet most of the time. Such a shame. It was always buzzing and a great place to go. I still enjoy visiting, but nowhere near as much as I did when it was offering food and entertainment.

One of the most friendliest casinos you could find. The staff was very helpful and cheery. Great bar disappointing no snacks available. Stakes for roulette and blackjack are cheaper per spin than most 50p chips available. Surroundings are spacious and spotless Once again a thoroughly evening spent at the opera house.

My First visit, and what a shame they replaced the Opera house with this. Restoration of the theatre would have been better.
Don't understand the requirement for the faff of having to have a card, what a waste of time to people who just want a quick visit and are unlikely to want to return. a big negative as soon as you walk through the door.
once finally inside the area is ok, although i question the need for constant music videos all the time some quite musical so people could actually talk would be nicer. Drinks are expensive. Generally I would recommend going elsewhere which is less adverse to visitors

This user to be ime of the best casinos we've ever been to...sadly not anymore.
I was looking for my mother and concerned about where she was as she is not well.
So i told the door staff this and the big lad with a beard was extremely arrogant so I said well if it was your mother you would be worried too. So he pushed me onto the floor in reception and threatened me then one of the other door staff blamed me saying you should not have said about your mum because his mum has died.
Well I'm very sorry about that but I never said anything at all about him or his mother.
I never caused any trouble but here the door staff seemed to revel in picking on someone.
So I went outside and a young arrogant horrid woman with dark hair in a ponytail came out and stood behind the men but mouthing off constantly and wouldn't give me any opportunity to say anything at all she just stood behind the blokes mouthing off and laughing.
I said why are laughing I'm just trying to explain I'm concerned about my mum. Gobby replied because its funny!!!
Good door staff are not thugs that can't wait to put someone on the floor and have gobby women stood behind them laughing about it.
Please BEWARE

I’m not normally one to complain at all, I’ve worked in hospitality before and completely understand what it’s like. I turned up to casino at about half 1 in the morning after just finishing work and lined up in the line to renew my membership. Two boys behind me were speaking to me however I was warned about talking to people, therefore stopped and asked them to stop talking to me infront of staff at the desk who saw me tell them to stop. Before I even reached the desk I was refused entry for no good reason other than ‘swearing’, I can confirm I absolutely did not swear and even if I did, this is a ridiculous reason to ban someone from a highly established bar and casino. You will get drunk customers however I was not one of them and still refused entry. It’s completely unfair and I feel targeted by staff. This night was planned and as I said I was completely unintoxicated when I arrived. So thanks to casino for ruining it before it even started. Please get this sorted.

I’ve heard I’m not the only person to receive this kind of treatment. I’ve also seen staff letting in their friends who are highly intoxicated. This same member of staff ended the call on me after I tried to voice my complaint after being unfairly refused entry. It’s disgusting treatment to loyal customers of a long time. Will not be returning again and will recommend friends don’t come again unless this is sorted. Absolutely appalled.

Stood at the bar at 3:22. Some guy that clearly works there comes to the bar at around 3:32. They serve the guy first and then tells
Me that the bar is shut bare in mind I’ve been stood there for 10 minutes. Been a member here for 2 years and definitely lost my custom over that. Ran by children who don’t have a clue returned a pint and they asked me if they needed to change the gas

Just got home from a 2 night break in Scarborough. Called in for drinks both nights I was there. Drinks are a bit pricey but your staff our brilliant Sam on reception is a credit to your company and all the staff were very friendly, even managers walking by and saying hello etc. Had a play on roulette and the young man that looked after me (had a beard sorry I missed your name) was brilliant and even managed to win for a change lol. 2 lovely evenings in a classy location. Pls pls pls pls bring back the food though as we both really missed having a meal with you. See you next time we’re down 👍🏻🍻

Had a great night. Barbara on reception was fantastic, really welcoming and friendly and registered us as it was our first time and remembered us when we nipped in and out (Wakefield). The staff were all lovely and the drinks were well priced with some great offers. Only downside was the roulette waiting times. We had to wait 40 minutes for a table as there were only 4 tables open. There was no system either so other people who had not been waiting long would just jump on a table before you could get to it. There should be some sort of system, whereby there is a wait list such as those devices you are given which buzz to let you know you’re up.

We go to the casino quite a lot. They show lots of sport, they have a few screens to suit everyone. It's a big area so you're not on top of each other like in some other places.
Katie was behind the bar on this particular day, what a lovely pleasant young lady she is. Having done hospitality, it's not always the easiest job and some people aren't always the nicest.
