About Emperors Palace
Emperors Palace is Johannesburg's airport casino, occupying a spectacular Roman Empire–themed complex adjacent to OR Tambo International Airport — the busiest airport in Africa. Opened in 1997, its location just minutes from the terminal has made it a natural stopover point for international travellers transiting through Johannesburg and a convenient destination for the airport's substantial business-traveller community.
The casino floor features approximately 1,600 slot machines and 80 table games, spread across themed gaming halls that evoke the grandeur of ancient Rome. The resort encompasses five hotels (including the Peermont D'oreale Grande, a five-star property) and a collection of restaurants and bars that cater to the constant flow of airport guests. An entertainment arena, the Emperors Palace Theatre of Marcellus, hosts regular shows and international acts.
