Gala Casino in Nottingham

I've dropped this place to 3 stars. It would've been 5 but they have massively limited the poker to only 1 table and I couldn't get on it the entire time we was there I'd have opted for cash but with no limits it's a dangerous game for the infrequent visitor. The drinks were all spot on, the staff were friendly but as I only really play poker I think I'd visit a different casino in future but never say never :) I did dabble abit on the blackjack.

Subpar casino for Nottingham, would recommend plenty others

This place is Sir Meme certified. It's a fun night out alone, with friends, or with the missus. You'll always meet interesting people, and everyone is friendly. The vibes are great. I highly recommend this, especially if you're a Notts local.

Went with my wife yesterday for her birthday. She'd never been to a casino before and wasn't 100% on how some of the games worked. We sat down at the Blackjack table and thankfully our dealer Liam was very helpful, teaching her all the rules as well as bringing things up throughout that might help her knowledge with the game. We had a great time and wanted to acknowledge the work Liam put in to make my wife feel comfortable playing for the first time

It is a great place, nice atmosphere, they've got a bar as well and if i remember well a kitchen also. They haven't got too many slot machines they are short on that. And personally many times i have been there but the winnings basically doesn't exist. With that in mind good luck

An amazing restaurant very nice lovely staff quick service

So I had 50 pounds worth of chips in my pocket, which I was saving and I stood next to an old friend of mine and this certain girl which is well-known. 2. The casino came over and stretched between me and my friend to say there my chips after 2 games. Then all of a sudden, my chips, I've gone out my pocket, which she must be a pickpocket. Asking for Security footage 20 minutes later I see a certain member of staff talking to her and they're laughing so makes me think are they both in on it Please tell YAFWYB apart from that great night 😘

It is one of the larger casinos in the city. It has a comfortable environment and friendly staff. It also has a free mahjong entertainment area. The only drawback is that there are relatively few types of games available in the casino.

very friendly staff and helpful

Discrimination for disabled I don't Recommend Horrible Manager

Some really nice staff and a cool atmosphere.

Hosted my daughters surprise 30th birthday party in the Esquina Bar. Have to thank Paul, who was fantastic helping us to pre plan the event and he made sure everything was just perfect from buffet to decor to music choice. Guests had access to the casino but we had our own private space for the party. Everyone had a fabulous night.

I like the place but some of the staff are a bit surly.

Great service and staff remember you, if you have been before.

It's a lovely casino, small but such a nice place to be. The staff are fantastic, friendly and very helpful.

Not the best casino but probably the best in Nottingham. I go rarely

Great vibe, staff, service and players. Probably the best cash poker venue in the city (games every day, lowest rake, progressive promo, pro dealers, friendly managers, all the cash desk facilities you may need, membership discounts for food and drink as well as a decent points system). I feel genuinely welcome here, any time of the day.

Really good place definitely recommend 👍

Very friendly, genuine staff who take an interest. Reasonable drink prices and excellent food. Seriously, try one of the pizzas. Clean toilets - always - and including the disabled version - like literaly relevant to me as a disabled dude who can't walk. You can feel safe and comfortable here and have a good time too. :)

Not as good as it used to be... Too many machines and the casual gambler felt uncomfortable

Just read the photo article of this casino!! How they swindle customers out of there hard earn money. While this casino was breaching there license systematically on a ground breaking scale!! Even receiving a fine of 13 million pounds, Beware of Maxine gibbons who is a venue director at Manchester 235 casino who is a racist and a compulsive lier to I have experienced first hand.

Meal at the restaurant was excellent. The waiting staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Made the special occasion even better. Well done all.

Rubbish customer services noone at tables when asked to play blackjack got told to come back in 2 hours when staff were standing at other tabled with no customers

Free parking for guests and also nice atmosphere

The restaurant in the casino is really good. The staff are always helpful

Great atmosphere, very clean . Polite staff

Had the best time, my first ever night at a casino at 50yo, came away evens.

Great place to be . From event side I have my experience. The staff is always attentive and the place is always clean and tidy . Customers are very friendly and well manners

Not really a gambler but enjoyed it

Went on a night out, really good drinks good service and so much fun, will definitely making this my local casino

Most of the staff (bar staff) and one particular dealer is extremely rude. An example from the bar staff when ordering a drink I never get a smile, eye contact or a please. My experience today whilst playing black jack was a bad one from the way I was spoken to from the dealer (a foreign blonde haired tall women) I made a mistake by picking up my money before I was paid my winnings, I wasn't concentrating. She shouted at me "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!! PUT THE MONEY BACK!!!!! I apologised and explained I made a mistake. I suffer with depression and anxiety which triggered this. I spend money here and don't expect to be treated this way 😡😥

Good, not bad. Drinks could take a bit less but okay

Pleasant location to spend a few quid and hope to get lucky.

Barred ages ago, tried to get in, they want you to jump though hoops to get entrance to this place, o well they missed out. I lost £2k in another casino

A Fantastic Casino with great Staff a friendly atmosphere and brilliant tables

Nice place... Good music... And best time

Whilst not that experienced at gaming, I thoroughly enjoyed it (despite coming away losing). Table staff are friendly and patient too. They take time to answer any questions you may have as a novice. Just be aware, all tables have different "minimum stakes", but these do start from £1.

Hi, I just want to say we had another great visit on 12/09/22 Would like to say a big thank you to David, Daumantis and especially to Kirk for making us feel so welcome, thank you all, Deb Lawrence

Never visited here before and I wasn't disappointed. My friend had booked a Groupon voucher for Afternoon tea, it was fantastic. We had the choice between two cocktails but we both opted for the Martin. We were also given the choice of tea, as they didn't have Assam I selected English breakfast tea mix. The selection of food that was bought out to us was fabulous, much better than other venues I have visited. There was a lot of detail in the presentation. If you have something to celebrate I would definitely recommend this as a venue. If you don't book through Groupon it does cost slightly more but you do get more choice of cocktails. Don't forget to book as tines are limited for the service of afternoon tea

Clean and organised, my go to casino in nottingham

went to the casino last night Friday 5th August we had been enjoying a wonderful day , my son was graduating at the university at 4pm a really special day , we had a very enjoyable meal at Georges after where I had 2 rum and cokes so around 10pm we thought we would have a flutter before going to bed relatively early at the crowne plaza opposite . When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly chap at the desk who joked with us about asking for proof of age for me , I'm 55 and then obviously asked for my sons id who is 21. We passed comments about being 16 weeks apart in age with the chap and turned to go in when the bouncer turned and said I can't let you in because you are drunk. The chap behind the counter shook his head and said no she's not , I thought he was joking the man behind the counter looked very uncomfortable. I do not know what was going on there , why they did not want us in there if I was drunk I would say it's a fair cop but I was clearly sober , please Mr Alea look at your film footage, maybe you need to re think who you employ and your business model we were only trying to spend our money in your establishment and have some light entertainment after a wonderful day , unfortunately you really spoilt it.

Bar Esquina back doing Latin nights on Fridays and Saturdays. Great music and venue for salsa, bachata and merengue. Alea casino staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Alea casino is one of a kind. Everyone friendly, the staff, the players and the non talkative dealers. Atmosphere is brilliant, not too busy but busy enough to give that experience. They do events on giveaways when they can which is a nice little touch when i visit. Drinks were surprising cheaper then everywhere else. Games selection, you got pretty much everything, roulette, blackjack, 3 card poker, jackpot features for blackjack and 3 card poker, slots machine with a jackpot prize and machines for roulette incase you shy from the tables. Casino is medium/big with a well clean toilet and nice furnitures to sit on when you want to take a break and watch the sports or take a small break on their outside smoking area.

First visit- really pleasant and helpful staff

The thrill of it, spending time with family

Nice experience. Not very busy. Should of gone later in the evening. Drinks priced reasonable. Very pleasant barstaff.

Perfect place , Awesome ambiances n first class quality complementary drinks , enough board n slot machine games . Must go place

Didn't go to the casino I had a meal in marco pierre whites restaurant .

Excellent all go there again good service good staff's thanks you

Went to MPW restaurant. First time since before lockdown. Service very good but the menu is not as good as before. Not a big selection of steaks as there use to be. Plenty of sauce selection to add to but I found my medium ribeye very fatty and under cooked. It looked more blue than medium. A bit disappointed for my first visit back to my favourite restaurant.

Always love going to the casino but remember everyone only bet what you can afford to lose, but hopefully you might have a little win.

Great atmosphere and great service. However, food for sure can be improved.

I like this casino when I'm winning, not so much when I'm not.

Nice place, spacious and welcoming to new guests. Also helps when you leave them in black rather than red💪🏻

Went the other day. It was empty but it was during the day time. Maybe 1pm. Me and the Mrs was going to have a go for my birthday but because it was literally empty we changed our mind as there was no atmosphere

Fantastic always enjoy a Saturday night here 👍

GREATCASINO IN NOTTINGHAM, VERY GOOD STAFF. & A NICE PLACE TO RELAX EXPERIENCE.

The casino doesn't have any shame the worst casino I have been to and very unfriendly manager , very rude would not recommend.

Wonderful staff, couldn't be more helpful.

Lovely staff. Nice wine. Relaxing atmosphere

My Son and his partner took me there for a meal. Food was amazing. Staff attentive . Swift service and so much attention to detail.

Sarah is the best cleaner and Kathy is the best bar maid best cocktail maker ❤️❤️❤️

Good casino although security can create anxiety for the wrong customers

This place shares it's bar and facilities with one Nottingham's largest casinos yet not a single bottle of non-alcoholic beer or cider is available ???

Bad experience after the staff asking me personal questions

Fast attentive service. Food was competent and tasty, nothing to complain about.

I love this place, its cozy and you can chill out, the staff are really nice and welcoming

Ok in general but the security and reception people were unpleasant and uninviting. Kind of beats the point of their business

Enjoyed it, didn't win anything, but had a great night.

It's a nice casino the hosts are good and the food is surprisingly nice. everything is expensive but it's a casino so that's expected.

They just don't pay out .And if they do the will cheat and the ball nevwr lands on a number .if at all it lands. It will bouncenout to next number you have no money .I have played there for years and lost so much money.

A very nice looking casino with a bar/nightclub located inside. The reason this gets a poor review is that I visited this place once and they have flooded me with messages ever since, trying to entice me back. If a big group of people want to go out then the options provided by this place will.please most if not all of them.

Very friend Atmosphere and u know what hot drinks r free

Top notch place ,staff , food & drinks .

Beautiful casino.. great poker room

A very nice looking casino with wide selection of tables and slots found the food and drinks to be very expensive compared to others have visited however pay for the environment so is what it is

Really nice casino, some of the dealers are a bit grumpy though 😂

Went for a work xmas party. Food was good. Band was loud!

Beautiful place, reasonably priced drinks friendly staff.

Brilliant night out, would recommended to anyone who DOESNT have a gambling problem .. all staff were courteous and had a brilliant night out with the work team. 40 pound up, yes please xx

Great atmosphere, very friendly and professional staff. Nice for a sophisticated night out in town without the unsaviouries.

Very nice place and fantastic atmosphere

I went there tonight and one of the bouncers was really unpolite, just trying to get me out of there (when I’m really an everyweek customer). Hoping this is taking care of. Cheers

Good food Good drink Lovely staff Plenty of tables/machines to play

Nice staff always speak free hot drinks nice

Good service, great atmosphere and fantastic staff

A place for everyone even if you don't gamble you can dance drink and have fun 😁☕🥃💯👍🏿

Everything is fine I like casino

A good night out but staff could be better

Very nice and friendly place.good meals provided..nice bar..was a little quite

Nice quiet setting can be a little busy at weekends the staff are some of the most helpful I’ve met ever in a casino 🎰

Worst cocktail making experience ever stay well away

A little true story. My parents were divorced but at this place after not seeing each other for 20, my mum bumped into my now step dad at Alea on a night out. They were high school sweethearts and have been married for 11 years since. It's why we love Alea so much and I now even have a niece named after the place.

Won lots of money, including a good meal

Truly fantastic. Amazing service and classy place

Great place to spend Saturday night out

Good vibes on the salsa dance floor

Decent little casino, poker daily except Wednesdays

Great atmosphere- friendly and knowledgable staff who are happy to talk newbies through the tables. Well stocked bar. Will be back!

L'endroit fait très chic et paraît grand mais pas tant que cela... Vous pouvez quand même aller siroter un bon. Cocktail et regarder les gens jouer aux blackjack... Bien situé et proche de tout... Pour se détendre et changer d'ambiance je recommande
