I understand there are security issues that come with the casino, but we are regular visitors to the Gentings in Sheffield, and have never had any encounters like that. For example there were a few gentlemen stood beside us wanting to go into the casino, and they were being questioned to empty their pockets, remove their jackets, etc. He was very polite and friendly, but the general atmosphere felt very judgemental and sketchy. it wasn’t very clear where the restaurant was, but we went up to the first floor and spoke to a lovely gentleman at the desk who managed to book a table for us. He also questioned what we had in our shopping bags which felt a bit unnecessary. We showed our ID’s to prove we were of age, but the attitude of the doorman wasn’t great. Upon arrival we were asked if we were members, we both are but I couldn’t find my card, and my boyfriend didn’t have his. We had been out and about shopping during the day, saw the casino and thought we’d go in to book a table to then come back later. My boyfriend and I were visiting Derby for the evening, and decided to have an evening meal in the casino restaurant and then have a flutter on the blackjack table.
