What the Gaming Floor Actually Looks Like
Live dealer tables at Renshaw Street start running at 12pm every day. The official venue page states it very plainly: “Open 24 hours | Live gaming from 12pm.” So the doors never really close, but real people dealing cards or spinning wheels only appear from midday onwards. That difference catches more visitors out than you might think.
The live area is what you would normally see in a mid-sized UK casino. Roulette and blackjack are the core games on the floor, with three-card poker and baccarat also listed on multiple local sources as standard fixtures. Alongside the staffed tables you get banks of electronic roulette terminals. Those matter if you drop in before noon or arrive during a busy spell when every live seat is already taken.
Our team has watched plenty of players walk in at 3am assuming full casino service. What they actually find is slots and electronics running, lights on, staff around - but no live dealers until midday. If your whole reason for going is sitting at a live roulette wheel or blackjack table, build that 12pm start into your plans.

Bar service runs from 2pm until 3am. That overlaps the live table schedule quite neatly. From mid-afternoon through the late evening you have the bar open, live tables running, electronic terminals active - the whole package in one go. If you care about the overall feel, that is the window our team would usually aim for.
How a First Visit Actually Works
If you have not stepped into a licensed UK casino before, the first visit has a bit of structure to it. It is not complicated, just different from tapping into a live stream on your phone.
Before you even travel, check the daily schedule. The venue is open 24 hours, but live tables wait until 12pm. Turn up earlier and you are limited to machines and electronic products, no human dealers.
Bring a valid photo ID with you. Passport or UK driving licence are what door staff usually see. The minimum age is 18. They do check, and they do turn people away if documents are missing.
At the door, new visitors are sent to reception for registration. Genting sites all work on a membership basis, in line with UK casino regulations. Once you are on their system, future visits are easier - you can usually go straight past reception and deal with the cashier.
To play at any live table, you need chips. That means taking your cash to the cashier desk first, then walking over to the table you want. Chips only mean something inside the casino; remember to cash them back in before you leave the floor.
Now pick your game. Roulette, blackjack, three-card poker and baccarat are all confirmed live dealer options here. Every table has small signs showing the minimum and maximum stake limits. Check those quietly before you sit down, they can change from table to table.
When you are ready, let the dealer know you want to join. They control the pace and seating order, and will tell you where your position is in the game. If you are unsure about house rules, side bets or payouts, it is usually better to check with the floor supervisor rather than guess.
One small practical note from our reviews of UK venues: mid-afternoon on weekdays often feels more relaxed. Fewer players, more time to ask questions, and less pressure on every decision. It is not a promise, but that pattern shows up often enough that we flag it.
The Building and What Is Around It
Renshaw Street itself is a converted Victorian property in the centre of Liverpool. It sits within a short walk of Liverpool Central station, which takes the pressure off having to drive. For those who do bring a car, the casino points to free parking next door. Rail and bus links connect this part of the city with Liverpool John Lennon Airport, so visitors flying in are not stuck.
Inside the building, the live table area sits alongside the electronic terminals, with the bar area within easy distance. The casino has been trading on this site since 1986. Local coverage in the Liverpool Echo over the years puts it more in the “late-night city spot” bracket than as a simple tourist tick-box. That matches what our team has seen: a blend of local regulars, Merseyside visitors, and players who make the trip because they want the feel of live tables instead of an online room.
| Facility | Status |

| Electronic terminals and slots | 24 hours |
| Bar service | 2:00 PM - 3:00 AM daily |

Licensing: Two Different Operations
Genting Casino Liverpool Renshaw Street runs under a UK Gambling Commission licence issued to Genting Casinos UK Limited, account number 537. On the local side, Liverpool City Council is named as the licensing authority. The official premises register puts the address at 45-55 Renshaw Street, L1 2SF, and marks the main activity simply as “Casino”.
The authorisation sits under Casino 1968 Act Non-Remote and Casino 2005 Act Non-Remote categories. In practice, that is the permission set covering only the physical, land-based operation you walk into on Renshaw Street.
Genting’s online room, GentingCasino.com, does not share that licence. It uses a separate UKGC licence, number 39326, held by Skill on Net Ltd. Both sets of permissions are fully valid under UK rules, but they sit with different companies, follow different processes and fall under slightly different regulatory frameworks.
That split is important if you are comparing the feel of a table at Renshaw Street with a live dealer stream under the same brand name. Anything that happens on the physical floor is inspected and regulated as in-person casino play. Live streams on GentingCasino.com sit within the remote licence. Our team regularly advises players to double-check which environment they are using before putting money down, because terms, complaints routes and responsible gambling procedures are not identical.
