Our Methodology

How we score a casino hotel.

Four measures, one 0–10 score. Here's exactly what we check on every visit, and why no venue can move up the list by anything other than the score.

Reads the room — Gaming floor

Table range and quality, how the poker and slot offering is handled, and whether high-limit play gets a proper, well-run space.

Reads the stay — Rooms & dining

Comfort and quality of the rooms, the strength of the restaurants and bars, and whether the hotel earns a night beyond the casino.

Reads the map — Location & access

How easy the hotel is to reach by rail, road or air, and what its setting and surroundings genuinely add.

Reads the guardrails — Player safety

Clear stake limits, trained floor staff and straightforward access to help, checked against both UK and Canadian standards.

The Felt Report accepts no payment for placement, ranking or review outcome. These are fictional concepts scored for illustration, but the scoring method is real: the same checklist, applied without exception, to every hotel on the list.

Every hotel on The Felt Report is a fictional concept scored for illustration. We take no payment for placement and offer no bookings; onward decisions and real-money play, wherever legal, always rest with the reader — who must be of legal gambling age (18+ UK / 19+ Canada).
