One of the most iconic names in UK gaming is officially stepping into a new chapter. The Grosvenor Casinos The Victoria, affectionately known as "The Vic," is officially relaunching following a £15 million refurbishment, the largest single investment Grosvenor Casinos has ever made. Located on London's Edgware Road, the historic venue is ushering in a new era of luxury and unrivalled poker experiences.

The venue has been a cornerstone of the capital's casino and poker scene for decades, drawing everyone from casual players to the sharpest high-stakes grinders. Following this mega-money renovation, The Victoria Casino is setting a new standard of what a modern casino experience should look like.

Peter Turpin, Venue Director, told PokerNews, "We're thrilled to unveil our newly refurbished poker room, a space designed with both comfort and competition in mind. From upgraded seating and enhanced lighting to state-of-the-art tables, every detail was chosen to elevate the player experience. Whether a seasoned pro or a casual player, this room sets the perfect stage for unforgettable games."

More Than a Facelift

The scale and ambition of the £15 million refurbishment are evident from the moment you step inside the casino. Upgrades touch almost every corner of the casino, from the main gaming floors to the stylish new gaming terrace and, of course, a new-look poker room.

Today's poker players have high expectations, and the new poker room at Grosvenor Casinos The Victoria meets them and more. It now boasts 24 permanent tables with premium seating to enhance playing experiences.

Multiple digital screens adorn the poker room's walls, displaying tournament clocks, real-time information, and more, streamlining the experience for The Vic's valued customers.

A fully equipped live stream/final table setup will likely be first used during the upcoming GUKPT London stop, which runs July 10-20. Additional tables can be deployed to accommodate larger fields during festivals and major events.

Cash game grinders will be delighted to learn that games are set to run around the clock, morning, noon, and night. Check with the venue or Grosvenor's Poker LIVE mobile app to see what games and stakes are running right now.

A Home for High Rollers

The casino is rolling out the red carpet for those who play big with a new VIP area dedicated to high-stakes cash games. This amazing area has opened in time for the GUKPT London festival. This space offers elite seating, top-tier service, and the discretion and comfort that high rollers expect.
