What’s on the Gaming Floor
The slot area at Genting Casino Leicester is inside the venue at 17-19 East Bond Street, right in the middle of the city. It is actually one of the easiest parts of the casino to just walk into. You do not have to book, reserve, or call ahead. You simply turn up and walk through the doors.
Most of the slot machines are Novomatic Super V+ Gaminator cabinets. Each unit holds at least five titles, sometimes more, and you can switch between them on the same screen. Winning lines go from 5 up to 40 depending on which game you open. Book of Ra is the name almost everyone recognises first, with Columbus, Lucky Lady’s Charm and Rich Witch sitting beside it on the menu. You will also see IGT Multi Game terminals and Novomatic Dominator machines spread around the floor. These are also set up in multi-game format, so you do not have to commit to a single title on a single machine.
| Machine Type | Manufacturer | Notable Titles |
|---|---|---|
| Super V+ Gaminator | Novomatic | Book of Ra, Columbus, Lucky Lady’s Charm, Rich Witch |
| Multi Game Terminal | IGT | Multiple titles per cabinet |
| Dominator | Novomatic | Multi-game format |
One practical thing that catches some people out: every machine here runs on cash. That means British Pound notes and coins only. There are no card readers on the cabinets and you will not be able to pay with online wallets on the gaming floor. When you win, the machine or the cashier pays you out in cash as well. It feels a bit old-school compared with online casinos or arcades that use cards, but for most land-based casinos in the UK this is still the standard way of doing it.
When You Can Actually Play
The slot section starts up at 11:00 every day. That is earlier than the live table games, which usually get going around midday. The electronic gaming area, including the slot machines, keeps running through the night until 06:00, so it is one of the last parts of the building to close.
If you prefer to stay away from the busier times around the roulette and blackjack tables, the late morning window is usually calmer. The same goes for the very late hours after midnight, when you might find a quieter floor and more choice of machines to sit at.
Your First Visit - How It Works
For a first time in a land-based casino, Genting Leicester is fairly straightforward to handle. There is no membership required just to walk in and try the slots, and you are not asked to complete pre-registration online.
- Make your way to 17-19 East Bond Street, LE1 4SU. If you are driving, there is parking behind the casino, and after 20:00 that car park is free.
- Have some valid photo ID with you. Door staff may ask to see it even if you look older. You must be at least 18 years old to get in.
- Aim for smart casual clothes. Sports kit, very casual wear or anything too scruffy can be a problem at the door, so it is worth checking what you put on before you set off.
- Once you are inside, the slots and other electronic terminals sit in a different area from the live tables, and you will notice the split quite quickly.
- You can take your cash to the cashier desk to exchange, or just feed notes and coins straight into the machine. Most cabinets accept cash directly and credit your balance on-screen.
- From there, you choose a game from the terminal menu, adjust your stake using the buttons or on-screen controls, and start playing at your own pace.
- When you finish, you either cash out from the machine or take a printed ticket / remaining credits to the cashier and collect your payout in cash.
There is a bar on-site and a set of screens showing live sport. That means you can pause your slot session, grab a drink, or sit and watch a match without having to leave the casino and come back again. For a longer evening, that small detail makes the visit feel a bit more relaxed.
A simple tip that applies anywhere: think of a rough budget before you sit down at a cabinet. Not because staff demand it, but because it is much easier to enjoy the time if you already know how much you are happy to spend and are not doing mental maths after every spin.
Electronic Roulette and Other Terminals
In the same electronic section, there is also a group of electronic roulette terminals. Different sources mention slightly different numbers of playing stations, usually somewhere between 14 and 30. Stakes often start low, around £0.10 or £0.25 a spin, and can go up to £100 if you want to push the bet size. The operating hours match the slot machines, so roughly 11:00 until 06:00.
You will find several variants running on the terminals: Sabre Multi Win Roulette, Double Spin Roulette, Electronic Baccarat and Multi Win Poker. All of these sit alongside the slot cabinets in the electronic gaming area, which keeps the feel a bit more casual than the main table pit. For anyone who finds live roulette slightly intense on a first visit, the electronic setup is usually a gentler way to get used to how the bets work and how the wheel pays out.
| Terminal Type | Stake Range | Operating Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic Roulette | £0.10 - £100 | 11:00 - 06:00 |
| Slot Machines | Varies by title | 11:00 - 06:00 |
| Electronic Baccarat | Varies | 11:00 - 06:00 |
| Multi Win Poker | Varies | 11:00 - 06:00 |
