Gala Casino,
Glassford Street, Merchant City, Glasgow.
We thought we would
try something a little bit different to our usual restaurant/club reviews, so
we said what the heck, CASINO! Gala Casinos are just one of the few casino
groups to populate Glasgow, but they have 3 casinos under their wing in
Glasgow! One at the riverboat down by Glasgow Central station, Princes, Sauchiehall street and the other in
the Merchant city, the one we focus on today.
“I’ve never been in a
casino before,” well don’t panic, the casino is relaxed and not how you ma have
pictured. The entrance is smart and professional like, as you would expect with
a casino, but the staff are friendly and know what they are doing, I mean, try
watching all the chips on a roulette board and having to calculate and remember
how much chips a customer has to get! Scary!
The casino has a
large bar downstairs where the main action takes place (the roulette, blackjack
tables etc), there is even a specified Poker ROOM, out of the way from the busy
loud tables. With buy-ins of around £100 per table, you can enjoy a game of
poker for a reasonable price (for a poker game at a casino that is!). The
drinks can be as generic or creative as you like, with bottled ciders and beer,
up to fancy cocktails and drinks prepared by the bar tenders.
(Restaurant, Merchant Grill)
The casino believe it or not, is not just about gambling! You can even grab
some grub from the restaurant area (Merhchant grill), great food at a surprisingly cheap price! Massive monitors allow you to watch sports such as the UFC, with the casino open late, you can sit back and watch the fight with your mates!
There is even a dance floor area upstairs!
Obviously we are recommending
you try this place out, but bet responsibly and drink responsibly when there!
Treat it as a casual night with some friends having good fun, we wouldn’t
suggest going crazy and slapping your car keys on the table as your stake!
But, in all
seriousness, try it out, don’t be put off by the ‘fear of the casino’ or any
stigma and stereotypes you hear about the place!
