The Basics Worth Knowing First
Genting Casino Bournemouth is located at 9 Yelverton Road, Bournemouth, BH1 1DA. If you want to double-check anything before you go, the phone number is +44 (0)1202 293188. The property is part of the Genting Casinos UK Limited chain, so it operates as one unit in a national network rather than as an independent, one-off casino.

| UKGC Account | 537 |
| Premises Licence | Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council |

Opening Hours - What Actually Matters
The official hours are 10:00 to 04:00 every day. The doors open at 10:00, with electronic gaming available straight away. Traditional live tables, including Blackjack, Roulette and poker, only come into play from 15:00.
Some third-party sites still show the venue as operating 24 hours. That conflicts with Genting’s own listing. The operator page for this site is the version to rely on, and it specifies 10:00 until 04:00.
In practice, the day looks like this:
- Doors open at 10:00 daily
- Electronic gaming terminals from 10:00
- Live table games from 15:00
- Bar service during all opening hours
- Venue closes at 04:00
If you are mainly interested in live Blackjack or Roulette, turning up before 15:00 will leave you with electronic terminals only. Not a problem if you are fine with that format, but it can catch visitors out.
Games on the Floor
The casino floor sticks to the standard mix for a UK land-based venue. Confirmed game types include:
- Blackjack - dealt on live tables
- Roulette - also live table-based
- Texas Hold’em poker, including cash games
- Slot machines
- Electronic gaming terminals
Exact table limits, minimum stakes and the total number of open tables are not published on the official Bournemouth page. Cash poker is referenced, but any form of regular tournament schedule is not confirmed in public materials.
If stake levels are important to you, a short call in advance usually works better than guessing. Venues of this size tend to move limits up or down based on the time of day, the day of the week, and how busy the floor happens to be.
Licensing and Regulatory Status
Genting Casinos UK Limited operates under UK Gambling Commission account number 537. Several licence categories sit under that account:
- Casino non-remote - covers the physical casinos, including Bournemouth
- Casino remote - for online casino activity
- Gaming machine technical
- General betting standard non-remote
- General betting standard real event remote
- Linked gambling software
The Bournemouth premises itself is listed individually on the UKGC public register. On top of that, it holds a dedicated premises licence from Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council. Both pieces - the operating licence and the premises licence - must be active for the casino to trade legally.
| Licence Type | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|
| Operating licence | UK Gambling Commission (account 537) |
| Premises licence | Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council |
| Minimum age enforcement | UK Gambling Act 2005 |
| Responsible gambling | UKGC standards apply |
Compliance conditions cover age checks on entry, access to self-exclusion schemes, and visible safer gambling materials on site. These are mandatory obligations, not optional extras or marketing features.
To check the current status yourself, go to the UKGC public register and look up business account 537. Confirm the operator record for Genting Casinos UK Limited is marked as active. Then search the premises register for “Genting Casino Bournemouth” and verify that the premises licence is also in force. If either element appears as suspended or revoked, it is worth calling the casino before travelling.
