Unlike its hotel and casino resort counterparts in other regions of the world such as North America, Asia and Europe, Grosvenor Victoria Casino is not part of a larger tourist resort.
Rather, Grosvenor Victoria is a club, much like other British casinos, and you need a membership to play. Guests must secure membership at least 24 hours before being able to enter a game.
At Grosvenor Victoria Casino, the house makes money from players, who must pay an hourly per table sitting fee.
