If you are planning to take up gambling in Birmingham sometime soon, then make sure that you are not caught out by the Genting casino renamed this week, as you might find that any casino guide that you are using to find out about it is out of date. The Genting Casino Hurst Street will no longer be known by that name, and it is also getting a redesign as well as a new restaurant to compliment the new theme which it will be carrying forwards.
Amongst the casino fruit machines and table games you will now find some Asian touches to the decor, as the casino management have decided to build on the fact that their venue is situated in the city’s Chinatown and the fact that they already have many Chinese elements in place to rename the casino as the Genting Casino Chinatown. They will also be opening a new restaurant, named Hou Mei, which will feature contemporary Asian cuisine: while the focus will be on China, you will also be able to find dishes that have a Malaysian, Singaporean, or Vietnamese flavour to them.
Jim Ward, general manager of Genting Casino Chinatown said ‘The continual investment into the casino demonstrates the commitment to our customers, ensuring we offer them the very best in gaming. I’m thrilled about the improvements to our restaurant and the introduction of a karaoke bar as I think our customers will enjoy these facilities.” The karaoke bar is planned to bring the “true spirit of the modern Far East” to the venue, as karaoke is very popular through China and Japan and has almost become a cultural phenomenon there, so this is a great addition to their attractions which local customers are also sure to enjoy. Part of the new look will also include bringing in the Instant Baccarat Bonus, a first for any Genting UK venue: a progressive jackpot baccarat game where customers can win a jackpot of £60,000 or more if they are lucky enough to achieve consecutive banks. You can enjoy these new facilities whenever you like, as the casino is open twenty four hours a day and seven days a week.
