Located close to Colombo’s top hotels and the back entrance to Colombo Fort railway station, Bally’s is a long established casino with a reputation for respectability and warm hospitality. Smartly uniformed doormen, and plain clothes security detail, are on hand to monitor guests and to ensure only members and genuine players are allowed in. That’s to maintain the standard of discretion that makes Bally’s a favourite place, even for Colombo housewives, to spend time relaxing.
The gaming area is spread over a huge space, with private areas for high rollers partitioned from the other players. All casino games are available and the stakes start from as low as Rs100 for roulette, as long as a stipulated minimum is played each round.
Roulette is the traditional kind, with only one zero, not like the American game which has two zeros. Players are treated to complimentary drinks of their choice and there are complimentary snacks served to the table while breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets are presented in the restaurant section.
