Live Tables and What You Actually Get
Fitzpatrick’s Casino on Glentworth Street is one of the larger permanent fixtures in central Limerick. It is not a tiny room tucked away with a few slots. There is a proper floor for live tables, a separate poker room, and a bank of electronic blackjack terminals with a big shared display and individual touchscreens at each seat. That electronic version suits players who do not want a dealer leaning in over every decision, or who simply prefer to play at their own rhythm without leaning into the social side of a live table.
The official site describes the Limerick venue as open 24 hours and notes that it offers Ireland’s largest range of live tables for Blackjack, Poker and Roulette, alongside a dedicated Poker Room with daily cash games.
Live blackjack does not run from morning to night. The confirmed hours for table games are Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 10 pm, when the live action usually starts up, though a more recent official source indicates live tables may open at 9 pm — it is worth phoning ahead to confirm the current schedule. The premises itself is open 24 hours, so you still have slots and electronic terminals running outside that live window. If you are going in specifically to sit at a live blackjack table, it really pays to phone ahead. Timetables shift, and landing there at 9 pm on a Wednesday and expecting a live dealer game is exactly the sort of thing that turns into a wasted journey.
| Game Type | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Live Blackjack | Dealer-led table | Scheduled evenings only |
| Electronic Blackjack | Touchscreen terminals | Individual wagering stations |
| European Roulette | Live table | Runs alongside blackjack sessions |
| Poker | Dedicated room | Daily cash games available |
Online you might see a few different descriptions for the same Limerick venue - Pery Square, Tait’s Corner, Baker Place, Glentworth Street. They all point to the same front door. If you want one reliable reference, use the official site at fitzpatrickscasinogroup.com for the current map, phone numbers and the name they themselves use.
Getting Registered and Taking Your Seat
You do need to be a member before you play, but membership is free. It is sorted at the front desk on your first visit and usually only takes a few minutes if you have your documents ready. Bring valid photo ID with you - the minimum age is 18, and they stick to that. Once you are on their system, that same membership works across Fitzpatrick’s Casino venues in Ireland, so you are not starting from scratch at each venue.
A first visit to the Glentworth Street casino generally goes something like this:
- Walk into the Baker Place / Glentworth Street entrance.
- Head to the reception desk and say you want to join.
- Hand over your photo ID for verification.
- Fill out the short membership form they give you.
- Receive your membership card or a simple written confirmation.
- Go through to the gaming floor and look for the blackjack tables or the electronic area.
- Swap your cash for chips at the table or at the cashier cage.
- Sit in during the hours when the blackjack tables are actually open.
The official group poker page notes that live tables open at 9 PM and that poker is played at the Baker Place Limerick casino, so if poker is your main draw, that timing is a useful reference point.
There is no door charge for any of this. The process is not designed to be tricky. The membership requirement is mainly there so the club knows who is on the premises, which is the standard setup for Irish casinos working under the private members’ club model.
The Casino Group Behind Limerick
Fitzpatrick’s Casino Group has been operating in Ireland for more than 30 years. The company describes itself as the largest casino group in the country, with six venues between Dublin and Limerick. The official group site states there are three live Fitzpatrick’s Casinos in Ireland and that they operate as private members clubs. In Limerick city, there are two locations under the same brand. The official Limerick page lists the address as Baker Place, Glentworth St., Limerick, Ireland, V94 N244. The main site near Glentworth Street is the one with the full spread of live tables and the poker room. The second address is 27 Patrick Street, which is more compact and built around slot machines, over 60 of them, with stakes from €5 up to €50.
| Venue | Address | Key Offering |
|---|---|---|
| Fitzpatrick’s Casino Limerick | Baker Place, Glentworth St, Limerick | Live tables, poker room, slots |
| Fitzpatrick’s Casino Patrick Street | 27 Patrick St, Limerick City | Slots focus, 60+ machines |
The Limerick county listing states that Fitzpatrick’s Casino Patrick Street is at No. 27, Patrick Street, Limerick, with free membership and 24-hour opening hours. Best approach is still to confirm directly with the group before you walk across town for slots, as individual listings can vary.
Playing Blackjack Online With Fitzpatrick’s
The Fitzpatrick’s group has also moved into the online casino space, and you will see it mentioned in several Irish gambling directories as having an internet casino product attached to the brand. The idea is simple: players based in Ireland can log in and play casino games, including blackjack, without travelling to a physical room. It is presented as an online extension of the Fitzpatrick’s name that you already see on the Glentworth Street and Dublin frontage.
However, the details of the online lobby - what blackjack variants are there, what the table limits look like, who provides the software - are not properly laid out in public sources at the moment. The main official presence is still fitzpatrickscasinogroup.com, together with their profile on x.com/FitzCasino. If you want to know what is actually live, what tables you can join and what mobile access looks like on a given day, these are the first places to check.
One point that deserves a clear mention: the licensing situation for the online product is not displayed on the main site. Land-based casinos in Ireland have historically worked through the private members’ club model, and the regulatory picture for this particular online setup is not fully confirmed in open sources. Before you deposit money anywhere, it is sensible to check what licence is in place right now and who regulates it. That is not unique to Fitzpatrick’s. It is just a basic bit of homework that makes sense with any online casino.
