Lisbon's casinos were never really its biggest attractions till the time the government thought of promoting gaming tourism in a big way. Since then it has taken baby steps towards growing into a fully fledged industry. Estoril was the first place chosen to be promoted as a gaming destination. When it showed signs of early success, the Portuguese government began making plans for further developing the vast potential of gaming tourism in Europe.
The younger sibling of Europe's biggest casino in close by Estoril pushed its doors wide open for the public in 2006 with a more or less unlike image. It was pegged as an amusement spot with gaming as a part in contrast to the idea of a normal casino, where the gaming forms the mainstay and the entertainment is a diversion. While Estoril Casino keeps its classic and little more glamorous ambiance, Lisbon's casino puts its money on the trendier generation with a low key architecture and a more modern day environment.
There are great shows on all days and very regularly you may find well known international crowd pullers such as "Stomp" that was in the midst of the names offered in the first year at the above 600-seat Oceans Auditorium along with a range of acts at the revolving central bar, Arena Lounge.
All in all there are four elegantly devised bars, three restaurants (counting the high-end Pragma), nearly 1000 slot machines, and 22 gaming tables which include everything from the classic American Roulette to Blackjack, Poker, and Baccarat; all allocated across three floors. The gaming bets belong to a very manageable range with high rollers being accommodated without low and midlevel punters feeling left out. The 1000 latest technology slot machines offer a chance to win some easy money to those who trust their luck more than in a little skill.
Gaming is open to the public every day afternoon from 3PM to 3AM and from 4PM to 4AM on Fridays, Saturdays, and on the day before a national holiday.
