Reading casino to add MORE slot machines after investment
Summary
Grosvenor Casino Reading South has announced a significant investment, installing 60 new slot machines and expanding its gaming offerings with over 180 new games, including popular titles like Fishin' Frenzy and Eye of Horus. This expansion brings the total number of slot machines to 80 and aligns with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s 2025 Gambling Act Review, which permits casinos to increase their slot machine allocation.

The casino also offers other games like blackjack, roulette, and poker, alongside dining and entertainment.
