The Casino Floor

The casino floor & games, beneath the fells.

Forty casino tables and gaming positions across a warm main room, private Skiddaw Salons, the Greta Room card room and a slate-floored stage. Play blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps and sic bo, or settle in at Derwent Reels — all a short walk from Derwentwater.

Blackjack, roulette and baccarat across a warm slate-grey pit, with a gleaming bank of slots along the fellside windows.

Private high-limit rooms named for the fell above the town — elevated stakes, personal hosts and complete discretion.

Table Games

Slate-grey tables,
played the proper way.

The heart of any real casino is the table, and Thefernleighhotel keeps to the classics. Blackjack runs across a warm fellside pit, from friendly minimums to high-limit shoes. Roulette turns on both American and European wheels, while baccarat — punto banco — is dealt in the main room and, for bigger stakes, in the private Skiddaw Salons.

When you want more noise, craps gathers the busiest crowd on the floor, and sic bo makes a quick change of pace. Trained croupiers run every table, stakes are shown clearly, and staff gladly guide first-timers.

Poker & Slots

The Greta Room, and
the reels by the window.

Our Greta Room card room keeps regular cash games and weeknight heats running, dealt by trained staff in an unhurried setting away from the main floor. Blinds and buy-ins are posted daily by the door.

Beyond the tables, rows of the newest slot machines and electronic terminals line the fellside windows at Derwent Reels — from simple three-reel games to the latest video slots and electronic roulette. Whatever you fancy, there's a seat for it.
