Clondalkin Premier Casino (Formerly Emerald Casino)

Premier Casinos are a casino chain with mutiple venues in Cork, as well as one Kerry, and one at Clondalkin in Dublin. The Clondalkin Premier Casino is also known as Playtime Casino given the signage outside and was formerly the Emerald Casino Clondalkin.

Open all week and welcoming new members on a regular basis, the Clondalkin venue can be joined by anyone. As long as you’ve got a suitable form of ID and are over eighteen, then you’ll be fine. You’ll need to fill in an application form but that’s to be expected.

Casino Games

SLOTS

There are 200 slot machines in operation here, meaning that you’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to which electronic games take your fancy. They try to keep them as up-to-date as possible, too, so you know you’ll always have a chance to play on the best games going.

BLACKJACK

There are no longer any live blackjack tables at this venue under the new ownership.

ROULETTE

There is no table roulette here, but that shouldn’t spoil your fun. Instead, there are electronic roulette tables dotted around the venue. Electronic roulette is an interesting proposition. On the one hand, you don’t really get a chance to interact with a croupier or anything, but on the other, the machine does all of the calculations for you and monitors everything, so you don’t need to worry about watching your chips.

OTHER GAMES

Now that the casino is part of Premier Casinos, there are no other games available other than electronic gaming.

POKER

Back when the casino was Emerald Casino Clondalkin, there were live poker games available, however, under the new ownership there is only electronic gaming available.

Bars & Restaurants

There’s no bar, per se, but you can get soft drinks and snacks here. There’s also a pub right next door and a McDonald’s over the road, so you’ve got options if you want to get a drink or a bite to eat.

Membership

It’s easy enough to become a member of Clondalkin Premier Casino. As long as you’re over eighteen you can join up with a valid ID. Make sure it’s got your photo on it, so something like a passport or driving license would be ideal. If you’re at all concerned about getting your membership then it may also be worth taking along a recent utility bill, just in case.

Player Rewards

The Clondalkin Premier Casino doesn’t really do a player reward scheme, but make sure to ask when you go if this is something that you’re interested in incase they change their mind on that issue in the future.

Getting There

The Clondalkin Premier Casino, also known as the Playtime Casino, is pretty close to the centre of Clondalkin, which is on the outskirts of Dublin. It’s on one end of Old Nangor Road, which is a well-known locale that runs almost the length of the town. If you want a more specific site to keep an eye out for then Clondalkin Leisure Centre is about five-minutes away, whilst the Opening Mind toy store is just around the corner. As we’ve said, it’s also just opposite the McDonald’s, so if you need to ask anyone for directions then that’s a good place to start.

If you need to use public transport to get there then the bus might be your best bet. The Mill SC / Clondalkin bus stop is almost right outside the venue with the Thornfield Square stop not far away either. Slightly further afield but still well within walking distance is the Clondalkin Garda Station stop and another on Orchard Road. Clondalkin is served by two main train stations. Clondalkin Station is perhaps 20-minutes or so from the casino with the Clondalkin Fonthill about a similar distance, making either convenient depending on where you’re coming from.
