Our Story
Our journey began over 30 years ago, with the Gala name first making its mark in 1991 through a national network of bingo clubs. In 2000, we expanded by acquiring 26 Ladbrokes casinos, establishing Gala Casino venues throughout the UK. Although we later sold our physical casinos, our presence continued online, adapting to the changing landscape of gaming.
Milestones
- 2005: We merged with Coral Eurobet, forming the Gala Coral Group.
- 2011: GalaCasino.co.uk launched, giving UK players access to our tables and slots all day, every day.
- May 2012: Rank Group acquired our land-based casino estate, while our online brand remained with Gala Coral.
- 2016: Gala Coral and Ladbrokes joined forces to create Ladbrokes Coral.
- March 2018: GVC Holdings took over Ladbrokes Coral, later rebranding as Entain plc in 2020.
Gala Casino is now operated by LC International Limited under UK Gambling Commission licence number 54743 and powered by Playtech software. As part of Entain, we combine decades of experience with advanced technology and 256-bit SSL encryption, delivering a secure and engaging online casino experience for players across the UK.
