Glasgow is a city that loves its vices and good times. The city has a reputation for being a place that loves a drink and when it comes to football, it is host to two massive clubs. Celtic and Partick Thistle provide the entertainment and excitement for the vast majority of Glaswegian men and women at the weekend but if that’s not enough, there is always gaming excitement to look forward to. The bookies and bingo halls are an integral part of Glasgow life but the city has a great number of casinos in and around the city centre too.
The largest casino in Glasgow, the Alea Casino which is found on the River Clyde at Springfield Quay, a short walk from the city centre, is making plans for the upcoming Easter Weekend. A good few days off work means that Glasgow folk won’t just enjoy a Good Friday, they’ll have an excellent Saturday, Sunday and Monday too. In order to make sure that the local residents have plenty to keep themselves occupied during their extended weekend, the casino is rolling out a couple of special elements.
Daily poker tournaments keep players coming back
Poker plays a big part at the Alea Casino and there are daily tournaments taking place. With the casino operating at all hours, you can pop in at day or night and give yourself a great chance of picking up some much needed funds from playing poker. This is the home of cash poker games in Glasgow and there will be plenty of additional poker games taking place over the long weekend. Even if you are not too fussed about celebrating the true meaning of Easter, you can make the most of the 16 gaming tables that the casino provides and the big Easter Saturday poker game that has been lined up.
The casino has also worked hard to ensure that there is a lot of fun to be had over the weekend and they have conjured up two special cocktails for the Easter weekend. There is a chocolate bonnet drink which contains Mozart dark chocolate, Cointreau or Crème de Menthe, Liqor 43, cream, milk, white chocolate syrup and it is all topped with chocolate powder. Some people have the impression that Glaswegians have a slightly less than healthy lifestyle when it comes to food and alcohol but surely the ingredients of that cocktail will put those concerns to rest!
The other Easter cocktail is the Easter Sweetie Box which is (only) slightly healthier as it contains Disaronno Amaretto, Blue Curacao, Raspberry Stoli, cranberry juice and fresh lemon.
Whether you try out the new cokctails or not, poker players are sure to have a sweet time when it comes to the Easter weekend in Glasgow.
