Live Tables, Real Dealers, No Stream
Amusement City Casino is at 4 Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2, and has been dealing live table games from the same front door since 1974. We want to mention that straight away because people who type in “live casino” usually get pushed toward streamed online lobbies. This venue is the opposite of that. The live casino floor here means real tables, real chips, and dealers who are standing right in front of you in a room you actually walk into.
Our team went through the venue’s setup in some detail, and the difference between live on-site play and a digital stream really does matter if you are planning an evening out rather than logging in from home.
On the tables you will find Blackjack, Roulette, Punto Banco (also called Baccarat) and Texas Hold’em poker. Live tables usually start from around 17:00 each day. Slots and electronic machines are switched on from 10:00 in the morning, so if you arrive earlier, you are playing machines only, with the live floor waking up later.
Live Table Schedule
| Game | Opens | Closes (Sun-Thu) | Closes (Fri-Sat) |
|---|
| Blackjack | 17:00 | 02:00 | 03:00 |
| Roulette | 17:00 | 02:00 | 03:00 |
| Punto Banco / Baccarat | 17:00 | 02:00 | 03:00 |
| Texas Hold’em Poker | 17:00 (variable) | 02:00 | 03:00 |
| Slots / Electronic Games | 10:00 | 02:00 | 03:00 |
These hours line up as the most consistent pattern across the sources we could verify. Timetables can shift, so the safest move is to confirm with the casino before you head in, especially if poker is the main reason for your visit.
Getting In - Membership and Entry
To sit at the live tables you need to be a member of the Amusement City Casino private members’ club. There is no charge for that membership and the process is fairly straightforward. You can pre-register through the Guest Pass section on amusementcity.ie, which is usually the cleanest way to get the admin out of the way before you show up at the door.
A first visit normally runs in this order:
- Go to amusementcity.ie and open the Guest Pass area to begin pre-registration.
- Enter your personal details as asked in the online form, then submit.
- Keep the guest pass confirmation on your phone or printed to show at entry.
- Make your way to 4 Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2, D02 W951, aiming for after 17:00 if you want the full live table floor.
- Present a valid government-issued photo ID together with your guest pass when you arrive.
- Staff check your details, confirm your membership on the system and admit you to the gaming floor.
- Walk over to the live table section and ask the dealer about the current minimum bet before you sit down.
You must be at least 21 to play. All play is in EUR and cash is accepted on-site. Once your membership is confirmed, there is no separate door charge.
One practical point that we always repeat, and it fits here too: if you are going in for poker specifically, pick up the phone first. Poker timetables move around much more than regular table games, and arriving without calling ahead is a higher-risk move than people expect.

Blackjack and Roulette on the Floor
Blackjack in Amusement City follows standard rules that regular players will recognise. The casino presents itself as friendly to newcomers, and from our visits staff are usually willing to walk a new player through the basic flow before the first hand - useful if you only ever tapped on a mobile app before and want to see how a real table moves, with chips, gestures and dealer calls.
Roulette runs in parallel with Blackjack during the evening, with both forming the core of the live casino offer. The building itself spreads out over roughly 17,000 square feet on three floors, so the live table area is set apart clearly enough from the rows of machines to feel like its own space. Punto Banco fills out the main table set. You will often see it described as Baccarat in directories - the naming difference is just that, a label; the underlying game here is the same.
For Roulette, the process on the floor is simple and stays the same from one spin to the next. Cash is exchanged for chips at the table directly with the dealer. You place your chips while the layout is open for bets, wait for the wheel to complete its spin, and winnings are paid straight from the dealer’s chip rack. When you want to finish, you can convert your chips back to cash with the dealer where allowed, or at the main cashier desk.
