Live Table Games on the Floor
The main gaming floor at Genting Casino Stratford - still widely known as Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford - operates all day and all night, seven days a week. Live tables are at the centre of what we do here, and we keep the focus on proven formats: roulette, blackjack and three card poker. Nothing too experimental, but the way the games are dealt and managed is consistent with what is standard in the industry, and the tables stay busy across most evenings.
There is one detail regulars tend to appreciate quite a bit. We run a clearly marked low-stakes area where you can play live roulette from £1. That limit works well if you are easing into the session, trying out a betting approach, or you simply do not want to play for higher swings right away. Outside that area the tables operate at standard stake levels across all live formats.
| Live Game | Format | Stake Level |
|---|---|---|
| Roulette | Live table | From £1 |
| Blackjack | Live table | Standard |
| Three Card Poker | Live table | Standard |
Alongside the live pits sit more than 150 slot machines, with electronic gaming terminals spread across the same floor. You can move from a live roulette shoe to a video slot or an e-terminal, then back again, without leaving the main level. The whole casino is located on the third floor of Westfield Stratford City, with entry either via the shopping centre itself or from the street side on Montfichet Road.
Stratford Station is only a short walk away. National Rail, London Overground, and both the Jubilee and Central Underground lines serve the station, so getting here from most areas of Greater London tends to be straightforward and predictable.
To enter the casino you must have valid photo ID. We apply the Challenge 25 policy at the door, with no exceptions. Free membership is created when you first register and usually takes only a few minutes on your initial visit.
The Poker Room
Our poker room is one of the higher traffic rooms in London, and that is based on actual activity rather than marketing talk. Cash games are scheduled every day from 10:00 until 05:00, which covers the bulk of normal playing hours for most customers. We spread no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha, with regular tables at £1/£2 and £2/£5. Older listings also mention £1/£1 games at smaller buy-ins, but availability for those should always be confirmed directly with the room before you make a special journey.
Rake is taken at 5% with a £10 maximum. That structure is applied consistently to all cash stake levels that run through the week, in line with common UK market practice.
| Poker Format | Stakes | Rake | Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| No-Limit Hold’em | £1/£2 | 5%, cap £10 | Daily 10:00-05:00 |
| No-Limit Hold’em | £2/£5 | 5%, cap £10 | Daily 10:00-05:00 |
| Pot-Limit Omaha | £1/£2 | 5%, cap £10 | Daily 10:00-05:00 |
| Tournament | Variable | N/A | Fri & Sat 18:30 |
Weekly tournaments are held on Fridays and Saturdays, with a fixed start time of 18:30. The buy-in for each event is confirmed by the poker team on the day, which keeps everything aligned with what is running on the floor. In the past, PokerAtlas has provided live table information for the Stratford room, and that has been a useful way for players to see what is currently open before coming in.
Getting into a cash game is a simple process. Arrive at the casino, present your ID, complete the free membership if this is your first visit, then make your way to the poker room and speak with the floor staff. Let them know your preferred game and stake - £1/£2 NLH, £2/£5 NLH or PLO - add your name to the list, and then take your seat when called. When you finish playing, chips are exchanged for cash at the poker cage.
For tournaments the flow is slightly different, but still very direct. Aim to be at the poker desk before 18:30 on Friday or Saturday, register for the event, confirm the buy-in with staff, receive your seat assignment and starting stack, then follow the tournament clock as levels progress. Tournament payouts are collected from the poker cage once the final table positions are settled.
One general point that holds across most established rooms: if you are new to playing live cash in a particular venue, it normally makes sense to start at the lowest stake that is running on that day. That first session becomes your chance to understand the pace of play, the way pots are handled, and the style of the regulars before you move higher.
Details such as current capacity, exact table count and any temporary seating changes are best checked with us directly. If you are planning your visit around a particular game, calling +44 (0)20 8536 5630 ahead of a longer journey is usually the safer option.
