Mayfair’s Metropolitan Casino hosts VIP launch event

A high-roller event, the evening played host to ex-Premier League footballers, news anchors and a string of other high-profile attendees. 

Just like its opening evening, a live band greeted guests upon entry and a VIP event simply wouldn’t be one without a glass of champagne on arrival.  

Its casino floor space was largely unchanged from opening night, with IGT’s PeakSlant32, Novomatic’s-Diamond X 1.55J and Light & Wonder’s Quartz Hybrid on display across the casino floor.  

Roulette, blackjack and three-card poker donned the majority of its table games, as bettors took to the casino floor across the five-hour event. 

Attendees filled a seating lounge, enjoying cocktails, beer and a selection of canopies. 

Early on, the Metropolitan Casino is looking to establish itself as a permanent fixture of Mayfair’s glamorous nightlife scene, and, although smaller in size, it will look to rival the likes of The Hippodrome in Leicester Square as a famous London casino landmark.  

Of course, it’s the Hippodrome that is next up for Gambling Insider, which will once again play host to the Global Gaming Awards London on 6 February 2023.  

The Shortlist for the Awards is now available online, with the winners set to be announced at the live event in Leicester Square.  

Of course, if nominees cannot attend, the event will be live-streamed online at www.globalgamingawards.com/london/2023/ from 3pm on 6 February 2023.

Gambling Insider was also in attendance at the Metropolitan Casino’s opening in December, which you can read about here.
