Genting Casino has unveiled plans for a major refurbishment of its Westcliff site, committing nearly £10 million [$13 million] to ensure the venue’s future. This comes after the presence of potentially dangerous RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) was found in its roof.

Despite the scale of the works, the casino remains fully open to customers, with the restoration carefully phased to maintain access to gaming, dining, and live entertainment…

Works are expected to continue until early 2026.

Stuart Green, general manager of Genting Casino Westcliff, said: “We are delighted that we can continue to keep the casino open throughout the building works and offer customers the high-quality experience they associate with Westcliff, featuring the best in hospitality and entertainment.
