DATE has been set for the opening of a restaurant and casino at Derby’s £100m Riverlights development which will create about 120 jobs.

Leisure and hospitality group Genting has said it will open the Genting Club on Saturday, November 19.

It will feature bars on each floor of the venue, a 60-seater restaurant called Fahrenheit and a casino.

The casino will feature blackjack and roulette tables as well as slot machines.

The Genting Club will also have a lounge, which will host live entertainment and dancing.

Tables will also be fitted with the latest touch-screen technology to host interactive quizzes.

Mrs Cross said: “Every-thing is running to plan and we aim to open on November 19.

“From the moment people arrive in the club, we want them to feel at home and spend the evening with us, whether it be enjoying cocktails, the food in the restaurant or learning to play roulette or other casino games.

“This will be the first Genting Club in the UK.”
