Live Tables and Opening Hours
Genting Casino Brighton is at 6-8 Preston Street, Brighton BN1 2HN, a short walk from the seafront and Regency Square. If you come down from the station it is not the most obvious road, but once you are near the beach and the hotels it is simple enough to pick out. Electronic terminals usually power up from 2pm, live tables follow at around 3pm, and the venue keeps going until 4am on most nights, stretching to 5am on Saturday.

There are three live table games on the floor: American Roulette, Blackjack and Three Card Poker. That line-up is confirmed and fairly standard - nothing niche, but enough to cover a full evening if you like classic tables. Slot machines advertise jackpots up to £10,000 per unit, and the electronic roulette terminals are ready from the 2pm opening, so you can play before any dealer steps in.
The property operated for years under the Mint Casino Brighton name and later switched into the Genting Casinos UK branding. It sits between a Lebanese restaurant and the West Beach Hotel on Preston Street, which oddly makes it easier to spot if you are walking rather than driving past.
Getting to a Live Table - How It Actually Works
Turning up for the first time is pretty simple. Bring photo ID - passport or driving licence - as door staff will want to see it. That is just UK law, the minimum age is 18 and they apply it consistently. Once you are checked in, the next logical stop is the cashier, where you swap cash for chips. They deal in GBP only.
After that, take a slow walk around the pit and look for live tables with space. If you are shaky on the rules of any game, floor staff are usually close and most will talk you through the essentials. It is better to ask before you sit down than after you have made a bet that you did not really mean to place.
Typical flow to get seated at a live table:
- Arrive while the venue is trading (2pm to 4am, up to 5am on Saturday).
- Show valid photo ID at the entrance.
- Change cash into chips at the cashier desk.
- Pick an empty or part-empty seat at Roulette, Blackjack or Three Card Poker.
- Ask a member of staff if you need a quick run-through of the rules, they are used to that.
- Place bets that stay within the posted minimum and maximum for that table.
- At the end of the session, cash your chips back at the cashier before walking out.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights tend to be the peak, which lines up with how Brighton nightlife works in general. If you want more elbow room, and a better choice of limits, Monday through Wednesday evenings or earlier in the day can be noticeably calmer.
Electronic Gaming
Slots and electronic roulette switches on at 2pm, so there is usually about an hour of purely electronic play before any live dealers start. That gap is handy if you turn up early and do not feel like standing around or going back out to a bar. Electronic roulette in this room runs on RNG software instead of a physical wheel, so the pace is quicker and the feel is more solo compared with a dealer table.
| Game Type | Available From | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Live Roulette | ~3pm | Dealer-operated table |
| Live Blackjack | ~3pm | Dealer-operated table |
| Three Card Poker | ~3pm | Dealer-operated table |
| Electronic Roulette | 2pm | Terminal, RNG-based |
| Slot Machines | 2pm | Terminal, jackpots to £10,000 |
One practical habit that works here as much as anywhere else: if you expect to be in for a while, choose both a time limit and a rough spend limit before you walk through the door. Deciding on those when you are already in the middle of a session tends not to work as well.
Poker at the Brighton Venue
Genting Casino Brighton appears on PokerDiscover as an active poker club. Cash games and tournaments are mentioned in several public lists and player forums, but the exact schedule is not fixed on a national timetable. Events are pushed locally, on noticeboards or Genting’s own online pages instead.
If you are planning a trip where poker is the main reason, it is safer to ring ahead on +44 (0) 1273 725101. Ask what format is running that night, and what the buy-in levels and blinds look like, so you are not travelling in on outdated information.
