Genting Casino Stratford United-Kingdom

What You Actually Get on the Floor

Genting Casino Stratford is located inside The Loft at Westfield Stratford City, 312 Montfichet Road, London E20 1ET, on the upper level above the main shopping area. Stratford Station and Stratford International are both around a 4 min walk, so in practice it is one of the easier London casinos to reach. For drivers, Car Park B is the one to follow; lifts from there take you directly up to the casino level.

Our gaming floor covers around 65,000 square feet. That is not a marketing slogan, it is currently the largest single casino floor in the UK, and you notice the space as soon as you walk in. We operate over 150 slot machines, around 90+ electronic gaming terminals, and a continuous schedule of live table games including roulette, blackjack, baccarat and three card poker. Denominations on the slots vary, so you are not locked into one style of play and can move between different staking levels quite easily.

Within the Genting Casinos UK estate this is presented as one of the most active casinos in the country. Looking at the product mix and number of positions available, that description aligns with how the venue runs in day-to-day operations.

The Poker Room

Our poker room is currently the biggest poker room in the country by floor capacity. For a lot of players that is the deciding factor when they choose Stratford over other London properties. The extra space allows several cash tables to run side by side, and people genuinely have room to move around the tables.

Cash games operate on a regular basis, with structured tournament formats added alongside them. Cash games run alongside tournaments, and seating is managed by the room team. That is something we pay attention to in daily room management.

Entry to the poker room follows the same procedure as the rest of the casino. You will need valid photo ID - a driving licence, passport, citizen card or a Genting membership card is acceptable. ID is checked at the entrance, and without it we cannot allow access to gaming areas, as required by UK gambling legislation.

Across the wider Genting Casinos UK network, headquartered at Genting Club Star City, Watson Road, Birmingham B7 5SA, Stratford is the largest poker room by floor capacity. Within our own group that is a significant reference point.

Sports Betting at the Same Location

Inside the Westfield complex there is a dedicated betting shop area operating alongside the casino but physically separate from the main floor. You can visit both during the same trip without leaving the building. In line with standard UK retail betting practice, the shop covers UK and Irish horse racing, greyhound meetings, virtual racing products and live sports betting.

Opening hours for the betting shop are 10:00 to 22:00 every day. On Genting’s official site the main casino floor is listed as open 24 hours, seven days a week. As with any large venue, specific areas can vary slightly by day, so if you are planning a late or early visit it is sensible to call ahead and confirm what is operating.

Having casino gaming and sports betting in one location is intentionally practical. At Genting Casino Stratford in the United Kingdom we position this as a “bet, eat, drink and play” environment. On a typical busy evening that is a fair reflection of how guests actually use the space.

Getting In for the First Time

For a first visit, having a rough sequence in mind usually makes the entrance smoother. In the UK market it is standard practice to verify age at the door, so we always recommend carrying ID, even if you clearly look over 18.

1. Travel to Westfield Stratford City via Stratford Station or Stratford International. Both are within roughly five minutes of the shopping centre entrance on foot.
2. If you are driving, follow signs to Car Park B. Regular Westfield parking tariffs apply there.
3. From Car Park B, use the lifts up to the upper level where The Loft is signed.
4. At the casino entrance have your photo ID ready - driving licence, passport, citizen card or Genting membership card.
5. Present your ID to the door team. Entry is only granted after age verification in line with UK gambling regulations.
6. Once you are through reception, you can access the main gaming floor, poker room, electronic terminals and the route to the betting shop area.
7. If sports betting is the focus of your visit remember the 10:00 to 22:00 hours, as the casino floor operates 24 hours but the betting shop does not follow the same timetable.
8. For specific checks - for example, table minimums, which games are live, or whether any areas are reserved - contact us on +44 (0) 20 8536 5630 before travelling.

Joining a Live Table Game

Live table procedures at Genting Casino Stratford follow the same format that is used across all licensed UK casinos. After your ID check at the door, walk onto the main floor and locate the table games zone. Identify a seat at the game you prefer and speak to the dealer or host if you are unsure about availability.

Staff at each table will confirm the current minimum and maximum bet levels. These limits move according to time of day and demand, so asking first is always sensible. You can exchange cash for chips either with the dealer, where permitted, or at the main cashier desk. From there, follow the dealer’s instructions for the specific version of roulette, blackjack, baccarat or poker that is running at that table.

When you decide to finish playing, take your chips back to the cashier desk to receive your payout in GBP. This is standard practice and aligns with how regulated casinos operate across the United Kingdom.

Table games form part of our 24-hour operation, so at any time you arrive there will usually be a live option available. For guests who prefer not to use staffed tables, the bank of around 90+ electronic gaming terminals offers a quieter style of play with similar game formats delivered on-screen.

From Aspers to Genting

The site at Westfield Stratford City has operated as a casino since its original opening. The original operating company was incorporated on 6 May 2010 under the name Aspers (Stratford City) Limited, trading to the public as Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City. Genting later acquired the property and integrated it into the UK casino portfolio.

Following that acquisition, the corporate entity was renamed Genting Casino Stratford Limited, with the change recorded at Companies House on 29 April 2025 under company number 07246090. The registered office for this company is Genting Club Star City, Watson Road, Nechells, Birmingham, England B7 5SA, and the principal activity is recorded under SIC code 92000 - gambling and betting activities.

Genting Casino Stratford Limited is listed on the UK Gambling Commission public register under account number 26947. Licensing for the physical premises is handled by the London Borough of Newham. This regulatory framework defines our obligations on age verification, anti-money laundering controls and responsible gambling measures. In line with industry standards, these requirements are applied consistently across our gaming operations.

Bringing the Stratford property into the Genting Casinos UK network made it a large venue by floor area within the group, and we run it with that scale in mind.

Regulatory and Contact Details
