The History of the Opera House Casino

The site was first occupied theatrically by a wooden circus building dating back to 1877. This proved to be very successful and was swiftly replaced by a more permanent building designed by local architect John Petch. When the popularity of the circus waned in Edwardian times another local architect, Frank Tugwell, redesigned the building as a music hall and it was renamed The New Hippodrome.

After numerous alterations and name changes throughout the years it was finally called The Royal Opera House, just before the start of World War 1. The building was listed Grade II in 1972 and continued to host many performances, but by the end of the summer in 1995, the theatre closed for the last time. The present owners purchased the property in 2002, embarking on their dream venture. The result is ‘The Opera House Casino’ as you see it today.

Gaming at Opera House Casino includes live table gaming; American Roulette, Blackjack, 3 Card Poker and Cajun Stud Poker, with progressive jackpots on Blackjack and Three Card Poker.

Our live gaming tables are open daily from 7pm.

Electronic Roulette Terminals and £10,000 Jackpot Machines are available from 10am. We also hold weekly Texas Hold’em and cash poker Tournaments and Mahjong is available on request. 

All of our roulette machines and slot machines now dispense tickets when the CASH OUT option is selected. This ticket can then be inserted into any of our machines to continue playing. When you have finished playing for the day, bring it to the Bank to be exchanged for cash or take it home and bring it back to continue playing on another day.

Please be aware that, in order to comply with current gaming legislation, full membership, with valid photo I.D. (driving licence, passport or government issued I.D. card) is required for all cash transactions totalling in excess of £1400. This includes buying in at the gaming tables and electronic terminals, or cashing out winnings at the Bank.
