Live Tables Around the Clock

Grosvenor Casino The Rialto Live Games

What’s Actually on the Floor

Our Rialto casino is at 3-4 Coventry Street, London W1D 6BL, a short walk from both Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. It is firmly in the West End, so the area stays busy, well lit and easy to reach pretty much any time of day or night. Inside, our live tables run around the clock, every day, with no fixed playing windows and no last orders when it comes to gaming.

The building itself has a long story behind it. Before we turned it into Grosvenor Casino The Rialto, it was known as West London’s oldest theatre, and a lot of that structure is still there. You can see it in the high ceilings, in the layout, even in the way the room sounds when it fills up. It is more than a heritage note; it gives the casino floor a weight and atmosphere you just do not get in a standard, modern box-shaped venue.

On the live gaming side, we focus on roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker and electronic gaming terminals. That is the main mix you will find when you walk the floor.

Touchbet Roulette deserves a closer look. You play at a touchscreen terminal, watching a real wheel spin in real time. All bets go through the screen and the result comes from that physical wheel - same game outcome, just without direct dealer interaction. It suits anyone who prefers a bit more space, wants a faster rhythm, or simply does not feel like leaning into a crowded table. Live dealer roulette and Touchbet run alongside each other, so you can move between them as you like.

Poker does not run non-stop. We schedule sessions, usually starting in the evening at around 7:30 PM. If you arrive early or your table is not open yet, roulette, blackjack or a slot machine are there to fill the waiting time.

Playing Roulette Here - How It Actually Works

Whether it is your first visit with us or you are back again, the basic process stays simple. When you arrive, our team at the door will ask for valid photo ID. UK law requires proof of age and identity for casino entry and we follow that closely. Once inside, you can go to the cashier desk, exchange your cash for chips in the value you prefer, and then head over to the roulette area.

On a live dealer table, you place your chips on the layout while the croupier keeps the betting window open. They will clearly say when betting starts and when it closes. At a Touchbet terminal, you choose your bet types on the screen, set the stake level and confirm everything before the wheel spins. Any returns are paid either by the croupier, in chips, or credited back to your terminal balance, depending on how you chose to play.

One thing that is worth keeping in mind, wherever you gamble: it helps to decide on a clear session budget before you sit down. Fixing that number in advance tends to be easier than trying to work it out on the fly once the game has started and emotions are involved.

When you are ready to finish, you head back to the cashier point. We redeem your chips and pay you out in GBP.

We operate a smart-casual dress code throughout the venue. Tracksuits, football shirts and other sportswear are not accepted, so it is better to plan your outfit ahead of time rather than having a problem at the door.

Blackjack and Baccarat Tables

Our blackjack and baccarat tables are staffed by live dealers day and night. To join in, you normally wait for the hand in progress to finish, then take a seat when the dealer indicates it is fine to do so. It keeps the game flowing smoothly for everyone already at the table.

You can buy in directly at the table with cash, or bring chips you already collected from the cashier. The table limits - both minimum and maximum stakes - are shown clearly on the placard or sign on the table.

For blackjack, we use the familiar hand signals: a tap on the table to hit, a flat wave over the cards to stand. That is it, nothing out of the ordinary. In baccarat, your main decision is whether to back Player, Banker or Tie before any cards are dealt. The dealer manages all card dealing and drawing rules, so you do not need to remember anything complex.

If any part of the game is unclear, our staff can walk you through the rules before you start a session. We are happy to explain things calmly, without pressure and without making a performance out of it.

What’s Actually on the Floor

Grosvenor Casino The Rialto sits at 3-4 Coventry Street, London W1D 6BL, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. The venue runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so there are no fixed playing windows and no cutoff point for live gaming.

The building was formerly West London’s oldest theatre, and that history is still visible in the high ceilings and the scale of the room. That structure gives the floor a different feel from a standard modern venue.

The main live game options available include:

  • Roulette - live dealer wheel with Touchbet terminals also on the floor
  • Blackjack - live dealer tables suited to both newer and regular players
  • Baccarat - standard rules across all tables
  • Poker - scheduled evening sessions with a buy-in of around 40 GBP
  • Electronic slots - multiple units spread across the gaming area

Sports fans can watch live events on large screens inside the venue. Bar and dining services are available on site, and the casino operates a smart-casual dress code.

Live Sport and the Rest of the Venue

The gaming floor is not just tables and terminals. Large screens around the space show live sport throughout the day - football, racing and other major fixtures that are on at the time. You can keep an eye on a match while you sit at a roulette wheel or on a Touchbet station, so you are not choosing between following the score and staying in the game.

Our bar and restaurant are built into the same overall space, so you do not need to step out of the casino environment to eat or drink. Food and drinks can be served to you while you play, which keeps the evening moving. If you prefer a sit-down meal, you can book a table in advance through OpenTable or equivalent booking services. That is especially useful later in the week when things get busier.

Quieter sessionsTuesday to Thursday recommended

If you like to play at a table where you can hear the dealer clearly and move around a bit, it is worth knowing that Tuesday to Thursday tends to feel more relaxed than Friday or Saturday nights. It is not a guarantee, but on average those midweek sessions are calmer.

The Online Side - Live and Direct

Our Rialto venue is also connected to our online live casino product called “Live and Direct”. Through that platform, roulette from selected real tables inside UK casinos is streamed via live video to players logging in from home. Online customers and players in the physical casino join the very same wheel, watched and dealt by the same croupier, with outcomes shared across both.

It is a slightly unusual setup compared to purely virtual games. You place bets through your online interface, while the croupier in the room spins the actual wheel and manages the table for both on-site and remote players. The intention is to carry some of the in-venue feel - the sound of the chips, the dealer calls, the visual of the room - through the camera for anyone who cannot visit in person. Feedback suggests it does that better than a fully simulated table.

The Live and Direct product runs under the same overall regulatory framework as our other operations. It is licensed and overseen by the UK Gambling Commission, with the same obligations around fairness, player protection and responsible gambling that apply on the physical floor.

Before You Come In

There are a few practical details worth checking off before you set out for The Rialto.

  1. Bring a government-issued photo ID. A passport or UK driving licence is fine and will be needed to verify age.
  2. Remember the smart-casual dress code. If you arrive in obvious sportswear, we will not be able to allow entry, even if you have ID.
  3. Factor in how you are travelling. Piccadilly Circus is around three minutes away on foot, Leicester Square around four. Local parking is quite limited, so for most visitors, public transport or taxis are the easier option.
  4. For poker sessions, aim to be with us before 7:30 PM so you have time to register and sort your buy-in in GBP at the right level.
  5. If you are planning to eat in the restaurant, it is sensible to book ahead, especially from Thursday onwards when West End footfall increases.
  6. Support is available if you want to put limits in place or feel you may need help with your gambling. GambleAware resources can be accessed before or after a visit, and our team can signpost to them.

Grosvenor Casinos and The Rialto’s Place in It

We run The Rialto as part of the Grosvenor Casinos network, which sits within Rank Group plc, a long-standing operator in the licensed UK gambling sector. Within that wider group, The Rialto is one of the more distinctive venues. The conversion from an old theatre gives it a specific character and layout, and the central West End position means we see a mix of tourists, occasional visitors and regulars who treat it as their main casino.

Because we open 24 hours a day, the customer base is broad. Night-shift workers, theatre-goers dropping in after a show, daytime visitors, late-night poker players - the timetable does not favour one group over another. Between the live tables, Touchbet and other electronic terminals, poker sessions, live sport coverage and on-site bar and dining, the building works as a full evening destination rather than a single-purpose gaming hall.

All of this operates under the requirements of the UK Gambling Commission. Entry and participation in any gaming activity are restricted to people aged 18 or over, and it is important to remember that those age checks apply every time.
