Poker at Genting Wirral: What You Actually Get
Our poker room at 25/27 Oxton Road, Birkenhead sits inside a full Genting Casino venue, so poker is only one part of what is going on around you. Cash games are on every day, and the focus is on familiar variants. You will find Texas Hold’em and No Limit Hold’em running across the week, so if you want to sit in on a cash game you do not need to aim for a specific night or event.
Tournaments work a bit differently. Friday Night Texas Hold’em is the key regular event on the weekly schedule, and that is the one most players plan around. On top of that, we run scheduled monthly tournaments that fill out the rest of the calendar and give you a few extra dates to work with.
The poker room is not hidden away from everything else. While you play, the same area also has live Blackjack, American Roulette, Three Card Poker and electronic roulette available. Electronic gaming starts from midday, so those terminals are active through the afternoon, while the live tables and poker room come in from 6pm. The late bar is open from 12pm each day, which means the place works as an evening spot even for players who are not only here for cards.
| Poker Format | When It Runs |
|---|---|
| Texas Hold’em Cash Games | Daily |
| No Limit Hold’em | Daily |
| Friday Night Texas Hold’em Tournament | Friday evenings |
| Scheduled Monthly Tournaments | Throughout the month |
One small but useful detail: closing times are quoted slightly differently across various listings and sources. If you are planning to arrive late in the evening, it is safer to give us a quick call on +44 (0) 151 653 6667 to confirm, rather than relying on a time you saw online weeks ago.
Online Poker On The Genting Platform
If you are not close to Birkenhead or just prefer to play from home, our online platform has two poker-style products under the same Genting account. Both sit under the Genting Casino brand, but the experience is a bit different in each case.
The Playtech Live Poker Lobby runs with real dealers in a studio. Cards are dealt live, streamed in real time to your screen, so the flow is similar to sitting at a physical table. Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker, on the other hand, uses RNG technology, which means a software engine generates the outcomes instead of a human dealer. It feels more like a digital table game, but both formats are accessed with the same login.
Getting into the poker section is straightforward. Open gentingcasino.com or launch the Genting Casino app, sign in, then move into the Live Casino area to find the Playtech live lobby. For the software-based poker, you will be looking for Table Games instead. Menu wording can shift a little when the interface is updated, but using the filters for “card games” or “poker” will usually bring the right tiles up quickly.
Steps to Access Online Poker
- Go to gentingcasino.com or open the Genting Casino app.
- Log in to your account, or register if you have not used the platform before.
- From the main navigation choose Live Casino.
- Scroll the live dealer tiles until you reach the Playtech Live Poker Lobby.
- Pick a table that matches your preferred stake, then confirm your seat.
- To switch to RNG poker, return to the main menu and select Table Games.
- Use the card games or poker filters to find Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker.
One practical point that is worth repeating: moving between live dealer games and RNG tables can feel odd at first. The rhythm, the pace of decisions and even how quickly hands finish is different enough that it affects how you manage your chips. Giving yourself a session or two to settle in before you start pushing stakes up is usually a good idea.
