Forty-five casino tables and gaming positions across a bright main room, private Sovereign Watch Salons, a corner card room and a weatherboarded stage. Play blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps and sic bo, or settle in at Beach Hut Reels — all on Southwold's candy-striped seafront.
Blackjack, roulette and baccarat across a bright candy-striped pit, with a gleaming bank of slots along the seafront windows.
Private high-limit rooms named for the fleets that once stood watch off this coast — elevated stakes, personal hosts and complete discretion.
A quiet room for regular cash games and weeknight heats, run by trained staff in an unhurried part of the hotel.
A weatherboarded room where a house band and cabaret share the floor with the tables.
Rows of the newest slot machines and electronic terminals, named for the candy-striped huts along the front.
Set limits, ask for a pause, or have a quiet word with a host at any table — support is built into every visit.
The heart of any real casino is the table, and The Sole Bay keeps to the classics. Blackjack runs across a bright seafront pit, from friendly minimums to high-limit shoes. Roulette turns on both American and European wheels, while baccarat — punto banco — is dealt in the main room and, for bigger stakes, in the private Sovereign Watch Salons.
For a livelier corner, craps draws the noisiest crowd on the promenade, and sic bo offers a quick change of pace. Every table is run by trained croupiers, with stakes posted clearly and hosts glad to walk newcomers through the rules.
Our corner card room, The Herring Fleet Room, keeps regular cash games and weeknight heats running, dealt by trained staff in an unhurried setting away from the main floor. Blinds and buy-ins are posted daily by the door.
Beyond the tables, rows of the newest slot machines and electronic terminals line the seafront windows at Beach Hut Reels — from simple three-reel games to the latest video slots and electronic roulette. Whatever you fancy, there's a seat for it.
