The Casino & Hotel

A harbour casino, beneath
the tower's light.

Royalplaypalace is a five-star casino hotel at Gunwharf Quays, where a bright harbourside casino floor sits beneath Portsmouth's landmark viewing tower and the Solent becomes the backdrop. Take the lift down to seventy-five casino tables, a dedicated card room and hundreds of slot machines; take it up to a suite where the harbour glitters to the horizon.

This is the offline casino at full sail. Blackjack, roulette and baccarat run across a generous pit, craps and sic bo bring the noise, and the private Ensign Rooms keep higher stakes behind quiet glass. Every table is dealt by professionals, with clear stakes and hosts who make a first visit effortless.

Around the gaming, the hotel never stops: seven restaurants and bars, a tower-top lounge above the water, a spa for the morning after and a stage for the late show. A night at the Spinnaker can be all casino or barely any — the harbour, and the choice, are yours.

The Casino Floor

The casino floor, beneath the tower.

From the open glamour of the main room to the hush of a private salon, the casino at the Spinnaker is arranged for a harbour town after dark — table games, a card room and hundreds of slots, all beneath the beam of the tower.

The Navigator's Room

The heart of the Spinnaker: blackjack, roulette and baccarat across an open harbourside pit, with a glittering wall of Semaphore Reels and the Solent through the glass.

Royalplaypalace Experience

An offline casino, under the tower's light.

There is a difference between a casino on a screen and a casino you walk into off the quay. At the Spinnaker, the casino floor is a room you can feel — the shuffle of chips, the spin of the wheel, the hum of a full house on a Saturday night. This is a land-based casino built for a harbour city that has always kept its eyes on the water.

The gaming is broad and classic. Sit down at blackjack and play a shoe, watch the run at baccarat, or step up to a high-limit table in the Ensign Rooms. In the card room, cash games and tournaments run every night; along the glass, hundreds of slot machines and electronic terminals catch the beam of the tower. Every casino game is posted with clear stakes, and hosts are on hand to guide anyone new.

Royalplaypalace is a casino hotel in the truest sense — you never have to leave the quay. Play late, dine across seven kitchens, drink beneath the tower and sleep with the harbour at your window. At Gunwharf Quays, minutes from the dockyard and the ferry port, it turns a night at the tables into a proper waterfront escape.

And because a good casino looks after its guests, care is built into every table. Limits can be set, breaks can be taken, and a quiet word with a host is never far away. Royalplaypalace is strictly 18+, with photo ID checked at the door — a calm, adult room where the game stays a pleasure.

Suites & Stay

Sleep above
the harbour floor.

Two hundred and ten suites rise above the gaming, each framed by the harbour and the tower's silhouette. After the last hand, the casino is only a lift-ride away — no cab, no cold walk, just the water glittering below your window.

From a Quayside King to the corner Spinnaker Suite with its private bar and harbour-view tub, every room is a quiet argument for one more night at Gunwharf — and one more session tomorrow.

Steady, and looked after.

Every host on the floor is trained to listen first. Whatever is on your mind, calm and confidential support is only ever a signal away.

Assurance

A harbour with house rules

Strict 18+ admission with ID checked at the door keeps the Spinnaker mature, calm and secure — always.
