Aspers Casino The Gate Newcastle

Located on the first floor of Newcastle’s Gate Complex is Aspers Casino. At 65,000 square feet it is the largest gaming facility in the city and is one of the many leisure and entertainment facilities available within the complex. The Gate is very centrally located, just a ten minute walk from the main railway station and not far from both St James’ Park and the Haymarket Metro stations. Getting to the casino by air is also fairly straightforward as Newcastle has its own international airport just eight miles outside the city with good transport links to the centre. Free parking is available to members of the casino’s (free to join) loyalty scheme.

Games

The gaming floor has 20 of the latest slot machines operating as well as electronic roulette terminals which link up with the live tables. In addition to this they have a selection of table games including roulette, punto banco, blackjack, wheel of fortune and casino war as well as a double zero roulette option (though we’re not sure why anyone would want to play that!)

Aspers is home to the largest poker room in the north-east with 200 seats. They run daily cash games from 2pm as well as tournaments on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. If you play 750 hands in a month you are eligible for the cash league which has a prize pool regularly exceeding £10,000.

Restaurants & Bars

Freya’s is the casino’s in-house restaurant, specialising in steak but serving a range of other options as well as a selection of fine wines. Tanzibar also serves snacks but is primarily a vibrant and cosmopolitan cocktail bar which overlooks the gaming floor.

For sports fans there’s Aspers Sports Bar which is kitted out with 30 individual multimedia screens as well as a 156” HD Screen for all live sports broadcasts. They also have a bar snack menu and the entire venue is available for hire for private functions.

Other Facilities

For between £20 and £32 depending on which package you choose, you can learn to make cocktails with one of Aspers’ expert mixologists. Aspers also offers party packages for a range of events ranging from £12 to £27 per person with a fun introduction to casino games and a range of catering options. The closest hotels are Hotel Indigo, Newgate Hotel and the County Thistle, although cheaper options like the Travelodge are not too far afield too. Whilst the casino is essentially “just” a casino (with food and beverage facilities), within The Gate there are, as mentioned, a range of other leisure facilities, including a cinema, kids club, nightclubs and various other bars and restaurants.
