Gaming at Napoleons Casino Hull
Napoleons Casino Hull sits at 193-203 George Street, Hull, HU1 3BS, on the A165 opposite Hull College. The spot is close enough to the city centre and the railway station to walk, which puts it ahead of quite a few late-night venues that sit further out. Drivers use the free car park just to the right of the building on Wincolmlee, so parking does not add anything on top of what you plan to spend.
Gaming is split into two daily sessions. Electronic machines switch on at 5 pm and stay live through to 5 am. Live tables begin an hour later, at 6 pm, and close at 4 am. This rhythm runs every day of the week, same hours, no separate weekend timetable. For the East Riding area that makes Napoleons one of the few genuinely late-night casino floors - a lot of local places simply do not run that late.
| Gaming Type | Opens | Closes |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic Gaming | 5:00 pm | 5:00 am |
| Live Table Gaming | 6:00 pm | 4:00 am |
| Bar | 5:00 pm | 4:00 am |
| Dinner Menu | 6:00 pm | 10:00 pm |
On the live side, the floor typically carries around five American roulette tables, three blackjack tables and a small cluster of poker-style games. Directory sources point to minimum stakes at roughly £0.25 on roulette and about £2 for blackjack and poker, although the team inside the casino can adjust that, so treat those numbers as a guide rather than a promise.
Electronic gaming is built around slots and roulette terminals. Independent listings mention around 16 slot machines and 23 electronic roulette terminals. Floor layouts change from time to time, so those counts might not match perfectly when you walk in.

Planning a First Visit
Reaching the George Street site is usually straightforward. Buses, taxis and cars all serve this part of Hull, and the free car park on Wincolmlee takes some of the usual stress out of heading into the city centre for an evening.
One practical habit that pays off for any casino visit, including this one: check the official website for up-to-date hours before heading out. Older directory pages are not always updated when schedules change, and turning up an hour early because you trusted a stale listing is unnecessary hassle. For Hull, the current details are held at napoleons-casinos.co.uk/the-casinos/hull/.
At the door, guests are asked for valid photo ID. The minimum age is 18, and that rule covers both the gaming areas and the bar, without exceptions. New visitors normally sort membership on arrival, filling in details at reception instead of arranging anything in advance, so the process for a first visit tends to be fairly quick.
Dress is set at smart casual. The standard is enforced, so turning up in sportswear or very casual clothing can mean being refused entry. It is not a black-tie environment but it definitely sits above a standard pub dress level.
A basic order of events for someone visiting for the first time might look like this:
- Check the latest opening times at napoleons-casinos.co.uk/the-casinos/hull/ before you leave.
- Head to 193-203 George Street, HU1 3BS - by bus, taxi or in your own car.
- If driving, pull into the free customer car park on Wincolmlee.
- Take valid photo ID with you; without it, entry is very unlikely.
- Sign in at reception and set up membership, usually done on the spot.
- Aim for smart casual clothing, or a little sharper if you prefer.
- Decide whether you want electronic gaming from 5 pm or live tables from 6 pm.
- If food is part of the evening, grab a dinner menu; the kitchen runs between 6 pm and 10 pm.
Dining and the Bar
The full title, Napoleons Casino and Restaurant, hints that food is not just a side note here. The main dinner menu is served daily between 6 pm and 10 pm, with pricing and dishes sitting in the mid-range bracket. At different points, TripAdvisor has placed the restaurant in the upper group of Hull venues, somewhere inside the top 30 out of more than 900, while Welcome to Yorkshire reports a Google score hovering around 4.5 out of 5 from over 1,000 reviews. For a casino restaurant, that is a fairly solid position in the city.
Later in the night the focus shifts towards bar food. From Sunday through Thursday, the late-night bar menu runs until midnight. On Fridays and Saturdays, service stretches further, with food available until 2 am. If you arrive around 9 pm and want something to eat without pausing a visit to the gaming floor, the timings usually work.
| Service | Days | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Dinner Menu | Daily | 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm |
| Late-Night Bar Menu | Sunday - Thursday | 5:00 pm - midnight |
| Late-Night Bar Menu | Friday - Saturday | 5:00 pm - 2:00 am |
Across TripAdvisor and similar review sites, comments generally favour the quality of the food, the atmosphere in the restaurant and the approach of the staff. Some guests are not as impressed, and there are a few negative notes in the mix, so feedback is not uniform. Taken overall, though, Napoleons holds its own in Hull’s dining scene when you consider how crowded the market is.
