Best casinos to play blackjack in Exeter
Playing at a casino is a special experience. You have the opportunity to dress up in your best James Bond tuxedo or smart dress (there will be a female Bond one day), sip Martinis and play a variety of games, such as the ever-popular blackjack. There are even casinos where you can go in as scruffy as you like, so it’s up to you how you dress. Now, the next thing you’re probably thinking is, where are the best casinos to play blackjack in Exeter?
Oh, hang on a minute!
You probably realised before we did but much to our dismay, there aren’t any casinos in Exeter. Yet. We’re working on that. But really, there should be a casino for us to enjoy by now. After all, there’s already a Cathedral, amusement park, underground passages, even a donkey sanctuary. And famous people such as JK Rowling, Tommy Cooper and Chris Martin are from there.
Surely it’s got enough street cred to house its a casino and bring in all the high rollers? Devon is already enjoying a rise in tourism. Or perhaps the celebrities would be frequenting it too much so that’s a deterrent? Whatever the reason, until we get our extra special Exeter casino, there are plenty of other casinos to enjoy in the county, or you can find the best online blackjack casinos at www.bestonlinecasinos.org.uk – not a bad idea to try the game for free online without risking anything.
The brick and mortar casinos may be further afield, but if you don’t mind jumping in the car, bus or getting a cab, we’ve found the best casinos for you to enjoy blackjack nearby.
Taking to the tables in Torquay

Honestly, it’s not as laborious as it sounds. It’s only a 40-minute drive from Exeter – jump on the A380 and vroom you’ll be there in no time. There’s always lots of things to do in Torquay, and it’ll take just as much time to get there as a Londoner travelling on public transport from the outskirts to the centre. So, it’s not that different. Or it’s just over an hour on the train, which still isn’t bad. Once you’re there, the Genting Casino is located in an ancient landmark within the city centre. Inside though it’s all class and sophistication, keeping up with the Genting brand. There are ten tables to take to but more importantly, there’s a Blackjack table for you to enjoy.
Pitch games in Plymouth
Again, it’s only just over an hour to drive or a scenic train ride away, and if you’re hot on playing blackjack, it makes it worth it because you’ll find a Grosvenor casino in Plymouth. Grosvenor is perhaps one of the most iconic casino brands in the UK, with casinos dotted around the country. Obviously not in Exeter. But in the city centre of Plymouth, you’ll find one. And like all Grosvenor casinos, there’s a lot for any player to enjoy, with slot machines and a poker room instantly recognisable once you set foot inside. However, right in the heart of the casino is the epic blackjack table.

Take your seat, get your chips and get ready for the best Plymouth-based blackjack experience of your life. The croupiers are known for being friendly, courteous (even when taking your money) and even more so when you win. There’s a feel-good factor about the Grosvenor and this is enhanced by the bright lights, comfy seating areas and the bar for you to relax and have a drink.
The good news about visiting Plymouth to play blackjack is that not only is there the Grosvenor Casino but there’s also a Genting Casino, too. It’s closer to the waterfront so you can get an Atlantic City type vibe. It might not be as big as the Torquay one, nor its competitor Grosvenor but if you want to switch up your blackjack tables when you’re in the city, it’s worth checking out.
Brush up on blackjack
Obviously, if you’re going to travel out of Exeter to play blackjack, you want to make sure your skills are up to scratch. You don’t want to use up all your funds and walk home. Blackjack is one of the casino industry’s oldest and most popular games, and it’s easy to see why. At first glance, it can seem simple – try and get 21 and hope that either you don’t go bust or the dealer wins. Simple. But the game doesn’t always play out exactly like that.
There are various side bets and different combinations of different pairs. Make sure you know what blackjack is and how a mixed pair differs from a perfect pair. Perhaps try some online gaming first (you can even do that for free) so you get the hang of it. Then, once you’re the blackjack master, it’s out of Exeter and off to a casino you go!
