King Casino has officially opened its doors in Leeds, marking a significant milestone in its UK expansion. Located in the heart of the city’s bustling financial district, the £15 million venue combines state-of-the-art gaming facilities with a celebration of Leeds’ cultural heritage. The launch underscores King Casino’s commitment to regional growth, creating over 200 jobs and partnering with local businesses like Yorkshire Brew Co. and Leeds Art Gallery for exclusive events.
Spanning three floors, the casino features 50 gaming tables, 200 slot machines, and a VIP lounge with panoramic views of Millennium Square. A unique “Yorkshire Heritage Corner” offers locally themed games, including a Leeds United-themed roulette table. The venue also hosts a live entertainment stage, set to welcome artists like the Kaiser Chiefs and local comedy acts.
“Leeds is a city of innovation and community,” said CEO Clara Bennett. “This isn’t just a casino—it’s a hub where Yorkshire’s spirit meets world-class entertainment.” The opening aligns with Leeds’ 2030 economic strategy, aiming to boost tourism and nighttime revenue. Local councilor James Whitaker praised the project: “King Casino’s investment reflects Leeds’ dynamism and provides opportunities for residents.”
To celebrate, King Casino will donate 10% of opening-week profits to Leeds Children’s Hospital and offer free gaming lessons for locals.
