This Casino is annoyingly close to a bus stop where I go often enough to go over to my mates flat…read moreand the lure of the money I could be losing is quite appealing. It's probably the nicest one of the Gala Casino's in Glasgow, and quite spacious downstairs. Plenty of action if you go at peak times. A good way to finish off your night if you like a bit of live gambling.

A wee afternoon out with the girls, booked an offer from 17.00.com…read more Three courses and a glass of Prosseco for £12.00 I had soup to start broth with very nice fresh bread my Friends had Prawn Cocktails all were delicious and very well presented. Half Chicken with lime and herb dressing with fries for the Girls and Cajun Salmon with skin on fries and salad for me. Maybe not the most advenures menu but well cooked tasty food. Two of us had Prune & Armagnac Sticky Toffee pudding with Creme Anglaise and Lemon Tart for Margaret W. I am not a big pudding fan and this definitly stretched my pudding Tum to the limit but it was worth it. The girls had a bottle of wine and I had a couple of beers £20.00 each including tip very well worth the money.

I'd never been much of a fan of…read moregambling, but must admit that after a few succesful rounds of blackjack, I felt like one of those poker players on TV with the sunglasses and excessively crass jewellry. As long as you know when to stop frittering your money away, it's brilliant. We were lucky in that £20 got us a couple of hours each and we still left about even, but be careful or you could easily end up in the gutter, drinking methylated spirits and fighting yourself.

Why do you taunt me so, Gala Casino? I was happy to wander home soon after a club had closed,…read moreperhaps stopping for a bite or two along the way. That was until I somehow stumbled inside, and became a member of this vast casino. Now after nights out, I continue the party here, spending cash that I don't have on flashy roulette, or blackjack. After being dragged inside by a friend, who I soon lost to the betting crowds, I somehow found my way to the bar, and stocked up on cheap booze. I then found my friend again who was well into a game of roulette ("I'm £30 up... waaaay...oh...wait... no. I just lost that. Crap."), which entertained me for several minutes, before I found myself wishing to bet, which I ended up doing. An hour later, and £20 richer, we left. Happier, richer, and drunker. That's why I joined.

I'm not a gambler but I was here a few months ago as a friend hired out a hall in this casino for a…read morebirthday party and I had a great night. A few friends played a couple of games of roulette but no big wins, it's a slippery slope! It is very modern with plush comfy sofas, and there's even cushions! I was really surprised by how pretty it was inside and I would have liked some of the decor for my own home. The toilets were also immaculate, very stylish and they had full length mirrors so you can check your dress isn't tucked into your pants, classy. My favourite thing in this casino are the verandas which give you stunning views across the Clyde, you can see the Science Centre and the Glasgow Tower in the background which are lit up at night, you can also see all the city lights reflected across the water and it looks beautiful. I guess it's very rarely that the Clyde is described as beautiful but honestly the views from here are amazing and really show the city at its best. I've attached some pictures as proof of how pretty it is.

Alea is a lot bigger than the Gala casinos that I have been to also. I sadly no longer expect…read moreCasinos to be full of spy's and woman with feathers in their hair and glittery dresses, Gala killed that dream. I would say that Alea is definitely a step in the right direction, being much better in terms of value, game, and experience than Gala. Being much bigger, you can trail round different rooms while losing your money rather than staying in the same place. And it is open ALL NIGHT!! Why I do not yet know but this has got to be a positive, maybe poker is one of those things that wakes you up in the middle of the night. Lets be honest we know it does, but I don't think the dress code would allow PJ's. Free entry, just pay as you gamble. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Front desk staff were great, bar staff were great, on floor staff were great, however a bouncer I…read morewalked past on my way back up the stairs, after going out for a cigarette was not so nice. I was refused to be allowed back in to retrive personal belongings I had left upstairs, because in his opinion I was too drunk. He said the stairs were a heath and safety hazard, as I was drunk, so I suggested that we use the lift to retrieve my belongings. He then suggested I may be able to assult or accuse him of assault in the lift, as there were no cameras, so that was not an option. I was told to leave my name and phone number for someone to get back to me so I could retrive my personal belongings, but I have had no one attempt to contact me. This is not the first time I've seen trouble with this bouncer. He told my friend he had had too much and I was fine 5 years ago, on that night my friend was completely sober (my friend was english and I believe this man may have some disciminatory tendincies). The bouncer is a tall, bald white man, who chews spearmint chewing gum.

The woman on reception was incredibly helpful to this non member, got me started and I headed up with my friends Place was busy for a Friday night however plenty of empty tables, just no team manning them, headed to the bar, got a watermelon cocktail and tried to get a table Nope no luck - no seats available, sat down, ordered another drink. Still no available places So - we all left They just didn't have enough croupiers on to cater for the business! First times I've left a casino cause they didn't want my money!
