Licensing

The casino at Resorts World Birmingham is operated by Genting Casinos UK Limited, which holds the operating licences for all of Genting’s land-based casinos in Great Britain. Gambling in Great Britain is regulated by the Gambling Commission, and you can look up any licensed operator on its public register. Genting Casinos UK Limited’s entry there is licence number 537; we link to it below so you can check it yourself rather than take our word for it.

We are not the licensee, we hold no gambling licence of our own, and we do not operate any form of gambling on this site.

The site itself was awarded a large casino licence by Solihull Council in 2011, ahead of the wider Resorts World development opening in October 2015.

Opening hours

Both the casino’s own page and the wider Resorts World site describe the same pattern: the casino is open daily from 11am to 5am, though live table games don’t start until 1pm, so an earlier visit means machines and electronic terminals only. Treat these as the operator’s stated hours rather than a guarantee — hours can change, including around Christmas and other holidays, so it is worth checking the casino’s own page before you set out.

Age, ID and entry

Entry to the gaming floor is restricted to over-18s. Genting operates a Challenge 25 policy, meaning anyone who appears under 25 will be asked for valid photo ID at the door. No membership is required to visit — Genting describes this location as an “open-door” casino — though you can register as a My Genting member once inside if you want access to member offers and promotions.

  • 18+ only on the casino floor; hotel, spa and restaurants are open to all ages
  • Bring photo ID if you might be asked to prove your age
  • No membership needed to walk in and play
  • Joining as a member is optional and unlocks promotional offers

Dress code

The dress code is described consistently as smart casual on both the casino’s own page and the wider Resorts World site. Smart jeans and smart trainers are acceptable. Football shirts, muscle or vest tops and construction workwear are not permitted, and caps and other hats are turned away too, for reasons the operator puts down to CCTV visibility on the gaming floor.

Games and the gaming floor

Table games mentioned consistently across the casino’s own pages include roulette, blackjack, baccarat and three-card poker, alongside a floor of slot machines and electronic gaming terminals. The operator does not currently publish exact table or machine counts on its own site, and the figures given by third-party travel listings for this property don’t agree with each other, so we haven’t repeated a specific number here.

One detail that is more consistently reported: the gaming floor here is often described as the largest in the UK by area, with a reference figure of around 59,180 square feet. Take that as an approximate, widely cited figure rather than a precise, current measurement.

No photograph of the gaming floor We have not used any image of the casino interior on this page. Photography of gaming floors is tightly controlled and we could not find one available under a licence that permits reuse here. See the casino’s own site for current photography.

Bars inside the casino

The casino area also houses its own Sports Bar and the High Line Bar & Lounge, both used as part of a night out on the gaming floor rather than as standalone restaurants. The complex’s Pendigo Suite event space, which is reached through the casino, is also restricted to over-18s with Challenge 25 in force whenever it is used that way.

Playing responsibly

Gambling involves risk and no game guarantees a return. If you want to take a break from land-based casinos in Great Britain, the relevant scheme is SENSE self-exclusion, not GAMSTOP, which only covers online gambling. Our responsible gambling page explains this in full, with links to independent support.
