Genting Club Edinburgh is the capital's convenient room: a modern casino inside the Fountain Park leisure complex, with a solid gaming floor, poker and a restaurant, wrapped in a cinema and eateries and within a short ride of the city hotels.
Genting Edinburgh is a comfortable, contemporary floor — roulette, blackjack, a poker room, electronic gaming and machines, run without fuss inside the Fountain Park complex. It is a step less grand than the Maybury but far more convenient for the centre, and the poker nights keep it ticking through the week.
There are no rooms at the casino, but its west-of-centre spot near Haymarket keeps hotels close. The chains around Haymarket and Fountainbridge are a short walk, and the whole of central Edinburgh is a quick tram or taxi ride, from budget rooms to the grand hotels of the New Town. It is an easy base within reach of everything the capital offers.
The real advantage is the complex: alongside the casino's own restaurant, Fountain Park has a cinema and a run of restaurants and bars, so a full night out sits under one roof. Central Edinburgh's dining and nightlife are a short ride away for more, making it one of the easiest all-in-one evenings in this guide.
The casino sits just west of the centre near Haymarket, well connected by tram and easy to reach, with the airport line running past. Edinburgh's central hotels can be pricey, but the Haymarket and Fountainbridge rooms nearby are more reasonable, and with the complex's cinema and restaurants attached it is good value for a convenient night.
