As the North’s only super casino and the third biggest casino in the whole of the UK, it’s safe to say Victoria Gate is pretty darn huge. If you fancy a flutter, you can step up to one of 22 live gaming tables, each hosted by an expert croupier. There are four different card games to go at – Blackjack, Lucky 9s, Three Card Poker and Punto Banco – or you can have a whirl on the roulette wheel.

Victoria Gate Casino is more than just a casino, it’s a fantastic venue in its own right. Inside you’ll find two bar areas, Live Bar and Curve Lounge, each with their own distinct personality. And here’s a secret – head to either venue from 12pm to 8pm on a Wednesday or Thursday and you can get your hands on draught pints, glasses of house wine and house spirits for just £3, bargain!
You can check out free live music
If you like a boogie, you’re in luck. A star-studded lineup of weekly live music brings a host of tribute acts to the casino, alongside hugely-popular nights dedicated to Northern Soul. Soul at the Casino is one of the biggest Northern Soul nights around, bringing a night full of fun and soul music to the plush surrounds of Curve Bar. The best bit? Each event is completely free to attend.
You can see all the big sporting action on the biggest screen in Leeds

From Premier League football to heavyweight boxing, it’s all here, and then some.
