About Casino Barcelona
The Casino Barcelona brand dates back to 1978, shortly after Spain legalised games of chance. Today it is part of Casinos Grup Peralada, the Catalan group that also owns Casino Peralada on the Costa Brava and Casino Tarragona. Barcelona’s tourist board describes it as one of Europe’s best-known gaming venues and notes its record of bringing new technology onto the casino floor.
The group’s Spanish casinos were the first land-based casinos in Spain to be certified under the European Casino Association’s Responsible Gambling Framework.
Games at Casino Barcelona
The casino spreads its games over several rooms. You will find live gaming tables alongside slot machines and other electronic games of chance. Exact games, table limits and opening hours change, so check the casino’s own schedule before you go, and brush up on the rules of roulette and blackjack before you sit down.
If you prefer machine games, read up on video poker pay tables before you play; the same game can carry very different returns depending on the version.
Restaurants, bars and shows
Casino Barcelona has several restaurants and bars, including a fine-dining option, so you can eat without leaving the building. The venue also works as an entertainment space, with live music from Spanish performers, shows, stand-up comedy, ballroom dancing and classes.
Where to stay
The casino has no hotel of its own, but it occupies the ground floor of the Hotel Arts Barcelona tower, so that is the obvious choice if you want to walk straight in. There are other hotels around Port Olímpic and across the city.
Getting there
Port Olímpic is on the seafront in the Vila Olímpica area of the Sant Martí district. International visitors usually arrive through Barcelona–El Prat airport.
