The Genting Casino is very much about poker, with tournaments taking place every day of the week and cash games also a regular occurrence. Unlike a lot of venues that tend to focus on Texas Hold’em, the Genting often brings in Omaha as an alternative and it’s not unheard of for them to play Dealer’s Choice games.

The three casinos are fairly well spread out. The most central is the Grosvenor, located right by the main shopping area and not far from Reading Train Station. The Grosvenor G is to the South of the town centre, close to the Berkshire Independent Hospital, whilst the Genting is about minutes walk to the North of the centre of Reading.
