Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford - Gaming and Betting in London

The Floor, the Location, and What You’re Walking Into

We are based on the 3rd floor of Westfield Stratford City, on The Loft level, 312 Montfichet Road, London E20 1ET. You can come up through the food court inside the centre or use the street entrance on Montfichet Road. Stratford station is practically next door, which in practice makes getting here a lot simpler than visitors expect. No long detour, no maze of back streets.

Our doors stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That is standard in the industry for large venues of this type, and we follow that model all year.

At its height under the Aspers brand, the main floor held around 300 slot and electronic machines with about 70 live tables running alongside them. The venue built up a reputation as Britain’s largest casino and as London’s only super casino, which was a serious statement in this market. The site has since been rebranded as Genting Casino Stratford - same building, same address, same core audience. Current public numbers reference over 150 slot and electronic machines on the floor. Companies House shows GENTING CASINO STRATFORD LIMITED registered with documentation tied directly to 312 The Loft, confirming the corporate connection between the Aspers name and the current operation.

What’s Actually on the Floor

On the floor itself you will find four main areas: live tables, electronic gaming, a poker room and an integrated sports betting office. Each space tends to attract its own crowd, and in practice guests usually settle into one or two of them rather than drifting between all four.

Live tables cover the standard formats you expect: roulette, blackjack and other core table games. The electronic section is focused on slot and terminal play and usually has activity whatever time you walk in. The poker room is set away from the main floor, deliberately, so it has a quieter, more concentrated feel and follows its own schedule. If you are coming primarily for poker, in line with market practice we strongly advise calling ahead on +44 (0)20 8536 5630 to confirm what is running and when.

The sports betting office is built into the venue itself instead of being a separate shop nearby. You can step off the main gaming floor, place a sports bet, and move back without leaving the building. Combining casino play and sports wagering under one roof is a big part of why the site operates more like a full leisure destination than a standalone gaming hall.

Alongside that, we run a bar and an outdoor terrace with seating and overhead heaters. Those areas are useful for breaks between sessions or for anyone in your group who is here for the social side more than the gaming.

One practical detail that is worth fixing in your plans: venues working under a Challenge 25 policy expect guests to carry original photo ID. In real terms, that means bring a passport or driving licence even if you are clearly over 25. Physical document only - screenshots, cloud drives or app wallets are almost never accepted at the door. It sounds obvious, but it is usually the reason people are turned away.

Entry, ID, and the Challenge 25 Policy

Access is strictly for guests aged 18 or over. We do not make exceptions. Under the Challenge 25 policy, our team will request valid photo ID from anyone who appears to be under 25 before allowing entry. Industry practice is clear on what counts here: passport or driving licence. If you cannot show one of those, entry is refused regardless of your actual age.

These conditions apply at all hours. The 24/7 schedule does not come with softer checkpoints or relaxed periods overnight. Visitor reports of being turned away almost always link back to not carrying physical ID, so it is better to treat the policy as a firm entry requirement, not a box-ticking exercise.

Getting In - the Practical Version

In real life a visit usually looks like this:

1. Before you leave, check you have your passport or driving licence with you.
2. Travel to Stratford station, then follow signs towards Westfield Stratford City.
3. Go into the centre via the food court or use the Montfichet Road street entrance.
4. Make your way up to the 3rd floor, The Loft level.
5. Present your ID to our team at the casino entrance.
6. Decide where you want to start: live tables, electronic gaming, poker room or sports betting.
7. Use the bar or terrace when you want a breather between sessions.
8. If you need details on event times or table availability, call +44 (0)20 8536 5630 beforehand.

You do not need to book in advance for general access to the floor. Certain poker events or structured sessions may follow specific booking rules, and our team can confirm that over the phone. Since we sit inside Westfield Stratford City, all the wider shopping and dining in the centre is effectively part of the same trip if you want to turn it into a longer visit.

Background on the Aspers Brand

The venue originally launched under the Aspers Casino name and served as the flagship site for the Aspers Casinos group. That group also operates properties in Newcastle, Northampton and Milton Keynes. Stratford has always been the most visible and largest of those locations. The group listed its head office at Olympic Park, London, which underlines how closely this particular property was tied to the brand’s overall positioning.

Over time the operation transitioned to Genting Casino Stratford branding. Genting’s own site and Westfield Stratford City’s entertainment listings now use Genting Casino Stratford, frequently paired with “formerly Aspers Casino Westfield” in public references. Through all of that, the actual building, address and opening hours have stayed constant.

Aspers built its venues as mixed leisure environments: not just gaming floors, but bars, food, sport, entertainment and nightlife in one package. That same approach carries forward into the current Stratford operation, which continues to present itself as East London’s largest nightlife venue. Whether or not guests use that exact label, the size and layout of the property support that positioning.

Contact and Getting There

Stratford station connects directly to much of central and East London, so from a transport point of view the site is straightforward to reach. The Westfield setting means buses, rail and underground lines all converge close by, which is in line with how modern urban casinos are usually positioned.
