Genting Casino Newcastle Live Casino

Live Casino Games on the Floor

The live floor at Genting Casino Newcastle looks very much like a typical regulated UK casino, which is exactly what most players want. American Roulette, Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Baccarat - all on the main floor and run in line with Genting’s usual setup across the country. The selection matches what our team sees in other Genting venues: nothing missing, nothing wildly experimental either.

Live dealer tables usually start at 4pm each day. Doors open earlier at 12pm, so there is a natural gap in which the venue runs mainly on electronic gaming and the bar. That pattern is common across UK casinos, and here it feels quite deliberate - the room builds gradually before the full live floor switches on.

Poker cash games operate every night of the week, starting at 8pm with a dedicated dealer. That level of consistency matters a lot if you are mainly a poker player, because not every UK casino keeps cash tables running nightly.

Electronic products sit alongside the live tables. Slot machines include progressive jackpot titles, with top prizes advertised up to £20,000. There are also electronic roulette terminals for players who prefer to avoid the main wheel and bet at their own pace. The mix of live and electronic gaming keeps the floor working for different player profiles across the whole day. On a slower midweek day, that balance is more important than it sounds on paper.

Getting There and Accessing the Floor

Genting Casino Newcastle is located on Forth Street, directly behind Newcastle Central Station, NE1 3NZ. From the station concourse you can reach the entrance in under two minutes on foot. From our point of view that makes it one of the easier UK casinos to reach if you are not driving. If you do arrive by car, there is an on-site car park that usually opens around 2pm.

Membership is not required. The venue runs on a walk-in basis, with standard UK requirements in place. You must be at least 18, and staff may ask for photo ID at the door. Genting applies Challenge 25 across its venues, so carrying valid ID is wise even if you are clearly over 25. For any cashout over £1,300, photo ID moves from “helpful” to a formal requirement under compliance rules.

One small but practical reminder: if you think there is any chance you might be cashing out a larger win at the end of the session, keep your ID on you. Leaving it in the car or a hotel room can easily turn into a slow walk back and forth when you are tired and ready to leave.

A typical visit might look like this sequence:

1. Travel into Newcastle Central Station by rail, Metro or bus.
2. Step outside and head round to Forth Street behind the station building.
3. Reach the main entrance, without needing to register or arrange membership beforehand.
4. Show photo ID if requested, usually a driving licence or passport is fine.
5. Go to the cashier counter to change cash into chips for the live tables.
6. Check the floor for where the live tables sit - they usually come online from 4pm.
7. If you are here for poker, move to the poker area for cash games from 8pm.
8. When you finish, collect any winnings at the cashier; remember that cashouts above £1,300 need ID.

The dress code sits at the smart casual level. That means everyday clean clothing is generally all right, but sportswear or anything overly scruffy may be pushed back. A late bar operates through the evening, and the venue shows major sport - football, boxing, tennis - across screens in the bar area and sometimes near the floor. So if one person in your group is less interested in Baccarat or Three Card Poker, they still have something to settle into while you play.

Opening Hours and Floor Schedule

Opening times do shift slightly over the week. The venue’s own information lists hours from 12pm to 4am on Wednesday through Saturday, and from 12pm to 5am on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. You may see different closing times on third-party sites, such as 6am or 7am; those almost certainly refer to old schedules that have not been updated. Based on our checks, the safest move is to call the casino directly if you are travelling in specifically for late-night play.

The main contact number for the Newcastle casino is +44 (0) 191 232 0900. Another number appears in some listings - +44 191 221 1666 - but our understanding is that the first one is the primary line. Phoning ahead is still the most reliable way to confirm live table availability, poker status or any short-notice timetable shifts.
