Gaming

The gaming room

Six hundred square metres on the lower ground floor, panelled in dark oak and kept deliberately quiet — about the footprint of the ballroom above it. Eight tables, sixty machines, a poker room and one private salon. It is a facility for resident guests, not the reason to come.

Table games

Eight tables · from 20:00

French and American roulette, blackjack and punto banco, dealt by croupiers who have worked this room for years.

Machines

Sixty machines · from 10:00

Along the north wall, where the daylight comes in. Denominations and rules are marked on every machine.

Poker room

Four tables · Thursday to Sunday

A separate room behind glass, so the noise of the floor stays out of it. Seats are taken at the desk on the night.

The Salon

One table · by arrangement

A single private room off the main floor, booked in advance through the duty manager.

Private gaming

Something
quieter

The Salon sits behind its own door, with its own bar and its own croupier. One table, up to six people, and nobody walking past. It is arranged in advance through the duty manager, who will go through the table minimums and the house rules with you before the night.

Residents and their invited guests only.
