Paisley is a place that’s probably best known for its abbey, weaving heritage and, of course, its famous design, but the town is also great for gaming. Locally, you’ll find bingo halls and amusement venues, with casinos a short train ride away. So, if you’re in Paisley and want to enjoy some gaming action, here’s where to go.
Genting Casino
If you want the full casino experience, head to Genting Casino in Glasgow, which is close to Charing Cross station and the King’s Theatre. Trains between Paisley Gilmour Street and Glasgow Central take roughly fifteen minutes, so the journey is simple and quick. Inside, you can enjoy table games, a bar and a restaurant, while fruit machine fans will find their favourite slots games ready to play.
Grosvenor Casino
Grosvenor Casino, also located in Glasgow, is another standout option for those who want to enjoy the full casino experience. Surrounded by the bars and restaurants of Merchant City, it works well if you want dinner and drinks before heading to the casino. Like Genting Casino, Grosvenor offers table games aplenty, as well as the latest slot titles. The transport links are good for getting to and from Paisley too.
Mecca Bingo
Mecca Bingo, which is in Paisley on Saucel Crescent, is a popular choice for those who want a traditional night out. Expect a mix of classic and electronic bingo, alongside a bar and a food menu that you can dip into between sessions. The club also hosts themed party nights for over-18s quite regularly, so it suits groups of friends just as well as regular players, with parking available nearby. The venue is open from early until late in the week, and later on weekends.
X And O’s
Paisley is home to several adult gaming centres, and one of the most popular is X and O’s, with two venues close to the town centre. These venues focus almost entirely on gaming machines such as slots rather than table games, making them ideal for quick, informal visits. If you like playing slots but just want to be able to dip in and out when the mood takes you, without the atmosphere that comes with a big casino, X and O’s is worth a look.
Admiral Slots
Admiral Slots, which is located on Moss Street, is very similar to X and O’s in terms of what it offers. It’s another venue classed as an adult gaming centre, and the focus is again on gaming machines, rather than table games. Admiral have multiple venues scattered across the United Kingdom, and have become specialists in offering the latest and best slots for their customers to enjoy.
Conclusion
People may know Paisley for the pattern, but it’s got a pretty lively gaming scene, especially if you’re willing to travel slightly out of the area. If casinos are your thing, a short trip to Glasgow and you’ll be in your element. If you don’t want to travel, there’s bingo to enjoy at Mecca, and there are plenty of places to spin the reels of the latest slot games. There’s enough variety in and around the town so that everyone can get their gaming fix.
