Situated in the heart of London’s West End, Napoleons Casino and Restaurant is down two flights of stairs inside an intimate Victorian building. It is a relatively small casino with an old fashioned feel enhanced by the wood panelling and bright decor.
Due to its central London location, it is recommended not to take the car - public transport is the best way to get to the casino. It is less than a two minute walk from both Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus Tube stations, both of which can be accessed from all London mainline train stations. London City Airport is 10 miles east of Leicester Square and Heathrow is 18 miles to the west. London offers a whole host of hotels with various price ranges within walking distance or a short cab ride from Napoleons.
The casino’s gaming floor features most of the popular games including seven American Roulette tables with minimum stakes from £1 and maximums of up to £200. Their five tables of Blackjack, three of Baccarat and one of Three Card Poker have a minimum of £5 per bet with a maximum of up to £2,000 on Blackjack, £15,000 on Baccarat and a maximum £500 ante on the Three Card Poker. In addition there are 20 slots and 19 electronic roulette machines. Slots players can win up to £10,000 jackpots on some of the games and the casino holds free slots tournaments. However, the only poker played here is on the one table of Three Card. Mah jong is played daily (apart from Sundays) between noon and 5.00pm.
Although membership is not obligatory, if you do register you will be able to take advantage of the casino’s many special offers and promotions including complimentary Thai, Chinese and English breakfasts and buffets. The restaurant at Napoleons Casino overlooks the casino floor and offers a range of menus including Asian, Western and Grill and the bar serves a wide range of wines and cocktails.
Napoleons is like the Empires awkward older brother that still lives at home with the parents and has never had a girlfriend. It was cool back in the day, but now it's time to move on. Think of a battered old skoda (before the relaunch) parked next to a ferrari.
Napoleons used to be way better back in the day, and should probably just admit defeat and sell up so that the empire can annex it into another bar or club.
Once you enter (through a doorway right next to the empire) you descend to the basement which is at best, depressing. Unless you like watching your grandma stare into space as she loses her pension money.
