That means that there is now just one casino to entertain the quarter of a million or so people who live in Swansea and it’s owned by the Grosvenor Casino chain. You’ll find it inside a delightful looking Victorian building and it offers all of the sorts of games that you’d expect to find in a Grosvenor. Baccarat, three-card poker and Blackjack card tables feature prominently, as do roulette tables and electronic variations of the same game.

Anyone who has been to Las Vegas will tell you that a casino doesn’t feel like a casino unless there are a few slot machines dotted around the place. That’s the feeling of the folk at Grosvenor Swansea, too, so there are about twenty of the latest slots here with jackpots that go as high as £10, Poker lovers will enjoy the nightly tournaments, as well as the cash games that take place in the dedicated poker room. Do bear in mind with that, though, that you’ll need to book into a cash game ahead of time.

Swansea is on the South Coast of Wales – right next to the Bristol Channel. As with lots of cities that are on the coast, there’s a lovely bay area where plenty of restaurants and other companies situate themselves. The Grosvenor Casino is about minutes walk away from Swansea Bay, near to the Parc Tawe Retail Park. It’s just moments from Swansea Castle and is reasonably close to the middle of the city.

The Aspers Casino Swansea on Wind Street closed its doors permanently back in , despite chatter in that they wanted to reopen. The venue was declared "commercially unviable" by management.
