Dutch casino games developer ICS-Europe is trialling a new dice-based table game, Qilin, at two Grosvenor Casinos properties in the UK.

Taking its name from a mythical Chinese dragon, Quilin is played with three dice randomised in a tumbler unit. Players see the dice starting to tumble, then the unit is covered until betting is finished, when the result is shown.
Having been on show at Grosvenor’s Table Game Showcase event at its Ricoh Arena casino earlier this year, the game is now being tested at Grosvenor Casino Portsmouth Gun Wharf and G Casino Thanet.

“We are constantly seeking to keep the mix of gaming in our outlets fresh and interesting for customers,” said Kevin Graham, head of table gaming for Grosvenor Casinos. “Qilin made a strong impact the first time we saw it and we are happy with the results so far in the two clubs. The future of the game in Grosvenor Casinos will be decided when the trial finishes.”

Paul Schulpher, UK sales agent for ICS-Europe, said Qilin ticks the most important box for a new game – simplicity.
“The basics can be explained in 20 seconds to a new player, giving them enough information to play the simplest bets. It’s a game that can be enjoyed by new weekend players and more seasoned gamers.”
