Blackjack at The Vic on Edgware Road
At Grosvenor Casino Edgware Road - most regulars just say The Vic, officially The Grosvenor Victoria Casino - blackjack is one of the core table games that runs every day. Our address is 150-162 Edgware Road, London W2 2DT, and we keep the venue open 24 hours a day, all year. No quiet Tuesday closures, no early nights. Blackjack is dealt on the first floor next to roulette and Punto Banco, so you can walk in at 2am on a Wednesday and still find live cards on the table without any fuss.
We are part of the national Grosvenor Casinos estate, owned by The Rank Group, and we operate under a full licence from the UK Gambling Commission. Most evenings there are several blackjack tables open at the same time, so we can accommodate players with different bankroll sizes. Minimum bets are usually on the accessible side - independent visitors tend to describe them as reasonable for central London - but we do not publish a public rate card. If the exact table limits are important for your visit, we recommend calling ahead before you set off.
Getting in and finding the blackjack tables
Entry works in line with established UK licensed casino practice. Every guest must have valid photo ID and a membership card before stepping onto the main gaming floor. Registration for new visitors is a one-off process handled at reception; in day-to-day reality most people find it quick and fairly straightforward. The minimum age is 18, checked at the door without any flexibility.
On a first visit, the sequence usually feels something like this:
- Arrive at 150-162 Edgware Road, London W2 2DT.
- Show a government-issued photo ID as you come in.
- Complete the membership card sign-up, which only takes a few minutes.
- Once you are confirmed, move through to the main gaming floor.
- Head up to the first floor where the table games area is located.
- Pick a blackjack table with a free seat or ask a member of the floor team about current waits.
- Swap cash for chips, either directly at the table or at the cashier beforehand.
- Double-check the table minimum with the dealer before you put any chips down.
There is one practical detail that helps a lot on busier days. The Vic uses an automated waiting list system for table games. You can add your name to the queue and then step away rather than standing by the layout. That can make Friday and Saturday evenings more relaxed when demand across the floor naturally rises.
The casino environment and layout
The Grosvenor Victoria Casino runs across several floors, and the building is laid out more like a destination property than a simple drop-in gaming room. Our main table games space - where you will find blackjack, roulette and Punto Banco - is located on the first floor. The dedicated poker room sits separately with its own cash game tables. Slots and other electronic machines are grouped together in a different zone, away from the felt.
We completed a significant refurbishment valued at £15 million, and the current interior reflects that investment. Modern finishes, sensible lighting, a clean feel - it is the sort of environment that attracts both local London players and international visitors in roughly equal measure. The property itself goes back to the 1960s as the Victoria Sporting Club, so underneath the updated design there is a long operational history.
| Area | What You Find There |
|---|---|
| First floor - table games | Blackjack, roulette, Punto Banco |
| Poker room | Cash games, multiple tables |
| Slots area | Electronic gaming machines |
| Bar | Drinks throughout opening hours |
| Restaurant | Full dining menu |

The local Edgware Road area matters as well. The street is known for Middle Eastern restaurants, with a number of them serving food into the early hours, which is convenient if you want to eat just before or straight after a blackjack session without having to head across town.
