Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford live games

What Live Games Are Actually Running Here

I went around the live floor at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City twice before sitting down to write this, and the spread of live games really is broader than in most London rooms I have walked into. The place is on Level 3 of Westfield Stratford City, in the Loft area, and the gaming space is about 65,000 sq ft. That footprint is important: tables are not jammed in a row, and you can drift between game types without having to edge past people or stand waiting for a gap.

On the live tables you get European roulette, American roulette, blackjack, punto banco/baccarat, three-card poker, Crazy 4 Poker, Casino War, Super Wheel, and spread-bet roulette. Some listings also mention craps. I did not see it actually operating on either of my visits, so I assume it only pops up at particular times or for scheduled events. Still, for one casino floor, it is a solid mix.

Depending on which source you check, the total number of live tables is quoted anywhere between 40 and 60. In real use that translated into something simple for me: at peak times I still usually found an open seat at the game I wanted. That is not something I can honestly say after a Friday night walk into a smaller London casino.

The poker room sits apart from the main pit. Since May 2021 it has been working from 10:00 until 05:00 every day instead of the old 24-hour schedule. Regular cash games and tournaments are on the board, and PokerNews ranks this card room as one of the livelier spots in London. It feels like a proper room with staff and structure, rather than a token poker table squeezed into a side space.

Live Electronic Terminals - The Overflow Option That Actually Works

The electronic terminal setup turned out to be more useful than I expected. These are standalone stations placed around the floor that plug directly into the live dealer tables. You make your bets on the terminal touch screen, and then a real croupier on the main floor spins a physical wheel or deals real cards. It is not a RNG animation pretending to be live, it is the actual table feed.

Numbers in different write ups say the casino has anywhere from 92 to 150 of these terminals. On a quiet weekday afternoon I sat at one to play roulette and the link to the wheel was smooth, with no obvious lag between the spin on the main floor and the result landing on my screen. The casino publishes house-edge tables for spread-bet roulette in the “How to Play Electronics” part of the Aspers Stratford website. Before I tried that variant I checked those tables and they are genuinely practical, not just generic filler text.

If you have not used these terminals before at this venue, the basic flow is roughly:

1. Find a terminal cluster on the floor, usually close to the matching live tables.
2. Put cash or a casino chip card into the reader to load a balance.
3. Tap the on-screen menu to pick your game type - roulette or blackjack are the main choices here.
4. Set your chip size with the selector on the display.
5. Place your bets on the digital layout before the betting window closes.
6. Watch the dealer on the overhead screen or on the terminal display while the spin or deal plays out.
7. Any winning bets are instantly added back to your terminal balance.
8. When you are done, cash out at the machine or walk your ticket/balance over to the cashier.

Where they really prove their worth is on busy nights. Friday and Saturday evenings, live blackjack and roulette seats disappear fast. Instead of standing three deep behind a table, I just slid onto a free terminal and played the same live wheels that way.

One thing I would repeat for anyone new to electronic terminals in any casino: read the rules and paytable screens first, before loading money. Every operator has its own software, bet buttons and speed, and the cut-off for bets can be a bit quicker than new players expect.

Aspers Live Roulette - The Online Stream from the Physical Floor

One feature that truly sets this Stratford venue apart from most UK casinos is the “Aspers Live Roulette” stream. Authentic Gaming runs a continuous live roulette feed from the actual floor at Westfield Stratford and pipes it to online players through its partner casino sites. LiveCasinoComparer notes that this was the first Authentic Gaming roulette table to be streamed from a UK casino.

The table keeps spinning around the clock, 24/7. Even when there are not many people physically standing at that wheel, the croupier carries on for the online crowd. The table the online players see and the table on the floor are the same physical object, not a studio set made to look similar, not a green-screen trick. If you prefer to bet on a genuine UK casino wheel but do not fancy a trip to Stratford on a wet evening, this does the job.

For regular users of online live casino products this matters: in this case “live” literally means that you are playing into a real operational table in a UK venue.

Getting There and What to Expect on Arrival

The street address is 312 The Loft, Montfichet Road, Olympic Park, London E20 1ET. For sat-nav directions, several sources suggest using postcode E20 1EJ, which points you at the Westfield car park entrance. The casino itself is tied directly into Stratford station, linking the Central line, Jubilee line, DLR and London Overground, so the transport side in East London is about as straightforward as it comes.

There is no entry fee and you do not have to sign up for membership just to walk in, but the optional player club does add a few small benefits like a free cloakroom. Minimum age is 18. Staff will ask for ID at the entrance if you look under 21, or if you say you want to bet more than £1,000. The dress line is smart casual, and in practice that is enforced in a relaxed way.

For a first visit focused on live games, this is roughly how I would line it up:

1. Check the latest opening hours before you travel. The main floor has recently been shown as 10:00 to 22:00 in some Genting Casino Stratford listings, while older material still talks about 24-hour play. I would verify either on the official website or by calling +44 (0)20 8536 5630.
2. Go in via Stratford station and follow the signs through to Westfield Stratford City; the casino entrance is up on Level 3 in The Loft.
3. Take valid photo identification if you are under 21 or think your staking might push over the £1,000 line.
4. If you want rewards and cloakroom access, stop at the membership desk near the door and request a player card.
5. Before you sit at a live table, head to the cashier desk and swap cash for chips.
6. Look at the minimum and maximum limits posted on each table and only then choose a seat.
7. For the electronic terminals, just find the block nearest your preferred game and load funds straight into the machine.

There is one slightly messy issue around branding that is worth highlighting. Some current sites - DesignMyNight and TripAdvisor among them - now show the venue as Genting Casino Stratford and mention that it used to be Aspers Casino Westfield. At the same time, Aspers-branded pages for events and electronics are still active on aspersstratford.co.uk. From what I have seen on the floor, the location and the type of games feel continuous regardless of which name appears on the listing, but if the operating company is important for you, call ahead to be sure. TripAdvisor still shows a contact email in the Aspers format ([email protected]), which honestly adds to the mixed messaging.

My Verdict After Testing the Floor

After a couple of sessions on site, the positives stand out clearly. There are enough live tables spread around that “no seats at my game” is rare, even at traditionally busy times. The network of electronic terminals is not just a gimmick, it genuinely absorbs overflow from popular tables and mirrors the live action well. The poker room runs like a serious space, with structured cash games and tournaments instead of token poker on the side. Getting there via Stratford station is easy, even if you are not a regular in East London.

There are also a few drawbacks. The current opening hours remain muddy: legacy references to 24-hour play clash with more recent notes showing 10:00-22:00, especially under the Genting Casino Stratford branding. The change or overlap in brand names creates real uncertainty about who is actually operating the venue at this moment. Before planning a special trip or a long session, I would pick up the phone and ring +44 (0)20 8536 5630.

Taken as a live gaming floor in East London, the Westfield Stratford casino offers scale and variety that are hard to find in a single stop. The link between live tables and electronic terminals functions as described. The Aspers Live Roulette stream gives online players a legitimate route onto a real UK table. As long as you double-check the hours and satisfy yourself on the branding question before you go, the live games themselves make the visit worthwhile.
