Advantages: good drinks, nice bars

Disadvantages: no atmosphere, scary tables

The only reason for visiting this casino is for the excellent cocktails, and the fact that you will probably be the only person at the bar and so wont have to wait to get served.

This casino is quite new, and it looks it. The decoration is amazing, it looks like something out of James Bond. There are loads of chandeliers, a large main hall with a high ceiling, and a small private cinema which I didnt actually see. Its situated in the newly revamped part of Clarence Dock, theres parking right behind it, a tescos, and several resturants nearby. The casino also has its own resturant but Ive never eaten there.

There are several bars, one serving just drinks, and the other serving bar food like burgers and chips. The bartenders are great at making cocktails, and on both occasions when I have been here I have never had to wait at the bar. I can recommend the rasberry martini.

In terms of gambelling there are loads of slot machines on the ground floor, they range from taking 10p per go to £1. There are roulette, spinners and games here.

Upstairs is the main table gaming floor, there arent many tables, they are all sort of crammed in the middle. There are blackjack and roulette tables. I didnt even try to have a go on roulette as it was so fast, and there didnt seem to be any sort of welcome to the table from the dealer.

Im not really into gambelling, but I thought the machines were easy to use and I did win a fiver! The tables are just too fast, unfriendly and theres no sort of busy atmosphere. This casino is full of leery old men and young girls who enjoy cocktails. Its not a great night out in Leeds and I can certainly think of better places to spend my money.

Summary: I would rather go somewhere else
