We are very pleased to have been given the green light to open these casinos and are looking forward to welcoming back our customers.

UPDATE: 14 AUGUST 2020
We are very pleased to finally have been given the green light to open and are looking forward to welcoming customers back.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working tirelessly to ensure all our venues up and down the country are Covid secure to provide our returning customers with the safest and most enjoyable environments possible.
Now that our ability to open has been fully confirmed, final preparations will be made and we will open the majority of our casinos from Saturday (15th August).
————————————————————
UPDATE: 31 JULY 2020
Following the latest Government announcement at noon today, we wanted to advise you that we are unable to open our casinos as anticipated tomorrow, the 1st August.
This is extremely disappointing given the hard work and effort that our teams have put in to make the environment safe and secure and we had been hugely looking forward to welcoming you back.
At the moment we do not have a new opening date. We will continue to engage with the Government over the coming days in an attempt to bring some certainty to this situation and we will keep you advised via email, text, the website and our social channels.
————————————————————
UPDATE: 17 JULY 2020
Following today’s (17th July) announcement from the government, we can confirm that we will be re-opening our business in England on the 1st August.
We have been preparing for our re-opening date for several weeks now and have introduced a raft of measures to ensure our premises are safe for both colleagues and customers. We are really looking forward to finally being able to welcome our customers back.
Our three casinos in Scotland will remain closed until the Scottish government allow for them to re-open.
You can find more detail on the measures and steps we have taken here and an idea of what to expect when you come to the casino.
————————————————————
UPDATE: 24 JUNE 2020
We have been working hard to be ready for an opening of our Casinos in England on the 4th July. We’ve been really busy putting measures and actions in place right across the country which would provide a safe environment for both our customers and staff. Disappointingly though it was confirmed on the 23rd June that the Government would not be allowing Casinos in England to open on the 4th July.
At the time of writing we do not have a confirmed date on which we will be authorised to open. The industry however is working hard to lobby Parliament and endeavouring to ensure we are able to open at some point during the summer. Similarly, we do not currently have an authorised date for Scottish Casinos to open.
We very much look forward to being able to welcome you back into our business and we will continue to update reference this situation on our website as well as where appropriate on email and social media channels.
————————————————————
UPDATE: 19 JUNE 2020
As the leisure industry starts to prepare to come out of lockdown, here at Genting we are getting ready to welcome you back to our casinos. Of course, before we do that a lot of changes are being implemented to ensure that our operation is in line with government guidelines in relation to social distancing, and to ensure that our customers can still enjoy the great experiences we offer in a safe environment.
As I am sure you will appreciate, this is a significant undertaking and requires an enormous amount of work across the entire business. We are currently targeting a 4th July re-opening date – albeit with restrictions on capacity and certain elements of our offer – but our absolute priority will be to ensure our environments are safe for both our customers and our employees and we will not open until we are satisfied that that is the case.
We are currently working through all of the operational implications, but it should be expected that in the short term there may be some changes.
Over the coming days and weeks, we will be finalising these plans and as we do, we will keep you updated through our social channels, on our website and via email communications so that you can start to plan your visit with the peace of mind that the Genting environment will be safe and secure.
In the meantime, we hope that you and your family and friends are safe and well.
————————————————————
UPDATE: 3RD APRIL 2020
In line with the Government Job Retention Scheme, the vast majority of our 4,000 committed staff have moved, or are imminently moving, to be classed as ‘Furloughed Workers’. A direct result of the ‘furlough’ situation is that we are now going into a ‘radio silence’ and therefore we won’t be communicating in our normal ways until we’re back again. Your My Genting Points have been frozen so that any points due to expire whilst we’re closed will be waiting for you until we’re open again. We look forward to welcoming you back in person soon.
