About Casino Palace Bucharest
Casino Palace Bucharest is Romania's premier gaming venue, operated by Casinos Austria International — the global casino management arm of the Austrian state gaming monopoly — in a prime central Bucharest location. The casino has operated in various premises since the early post-Communist period when Romania opened its gaming market, and the Casinos Austria management has brought the operational standards and VIP service culture of the Austrian and Czech casino market to the Romanian capital.
Bucharest — the "Paris of the East" as it was known in the interwar period, when it genuinely rivalled Paris in sophistication and elegance — is Eastern Europe's fifth-largest city and Romania's undisputed commercial, cultural, and political capital. The city's combination of belle époque boulevards (particularly Calea Victoriei and Magheru), Communist-era megastructures (the Palace of the Parliament is the world's second-largest administrative building), and a booming contemporary restaurant and nightlife scene makes it one of the most compelling capital cities in Eastern Europe.
The casino floor offers roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker, and slot machines. Romania's post-EU accession economic growth has produced a substantial upper-middle class in Bucharest, and the city's growing international business community — attracted by low corporate taxes and EU market access — provides the Casino Palace with both domestic and international clientele. Casinos Austria's operational expertise ensures a standard of service and game quality well above the regional norm.
