I do remember leaving this place once at about 5am to be approached by a very well refreshed gentleman who asked me for directions to “where all the whores are”. While the streets outside the casino can be a little uncomfortable, the casino itself has security and feels fine. It can be a slightly odd place to walk around, Aberdeen, I think the contrast between some well off oil workers and some more desperate individuals can be stark. The slots area is of course fantastic with top of the line gear (including the awesome “Invaders from the Planet Moolah” – see Grosvenor Reading review for details) and a quiz machine, suggesting that the place might get patronised by the millions of students in and around Aberdeen. It’s nothing special or different to look at to be honest, being another carbon copy G model, although it’s been around a little while now and seems to get very busy, so it’s not quite looking 100%. The location is pretty central on Union Street, and given the amount of money in Aberdeen (due to the oil trade) it seems like they’re making a killing with this site.
It seems clear that since it’s opened, the G casino – the most northerly casino in the UK- has taken Aberdeen’s casino trade and dominated it.
