Grand Casino Belgrade Review

Although Belgrade is not one of Europe’s great gambling destinations, gambling lovers are still well catered for whilst staying in the city

On the right bank of the Danube River stands the only casino in the city, The Grand Casino Beograd. Opened in 2007 on the grounds of the former Jugoslavija Hotel and next to the famous New Belgrade floating night clubs, the casino is the premier destination for gambling lovers who share a passion for poker, roulette, blackjack or slot machines. Grand Casino Beograd is the largest entertainment luxury complex in the city with an area of 9.500 square metres.

The Grand Casino Belgrade is a partnership project between: Club Hotel Loutraki 90% – a Greek Multinational gaming and entertainment company founded in 1995 and State lottery of Serbia 10% – state organiser of Serbia’s national lottery.

As the casino with the largest selection of games and entertainment in the Balkans, it features 30 tables for American roulette, blackjack, casino stud poker, three card poker and Texas hold’em poker as well as more than 240 various slot machines.
