The White Coast Games - Casino Costa Blanca Alicante


 

The ever adventurous Spanish love to play games of chances. That is very evident in their love of casinos and gaming. Ever since organized gaming was legalized in Spain in 1977, it has seen phenomenal growth. Although online gaming has found large number of fans among the bold Spanish yet the charged atmosphere and high drama of the casinos can never be replaced. The casinos here in Spain are part of larger entertainment centers. The National Gaming Commission, a part of the Spanish government, regulates all these casinos from 17 offices located throughout the country. Spain has produced many greats of Poker lore hence it is no surprise that the Spanish casinos are one of the top sites for the European Poker Tour.


 

Casino Costa Blanca is located in Alicante one of the most beautiful provinces of Spain. Although it is more popular for its beaches and cultural attractions yet its nightlife and casino found enthusiastic patrons since its inception. The 12,100 square foot casino features thirty-eight slots and twenty-three table games and is open 8pm-4am. Among its 23 table games, 3 tables are of American roulette, one is of Russian roulette, 6 of blackjack, two of Punto Banco and the rest of French roulette. It is also advisable to review regulations about collecting your winnings if you are not a resident of Spain with the local gaming facilities and then start placing bets.


 


 

Entrance in most Spanish casinos requires (free) membership so do not forget your passport or you will not be allowed in. But in case of Costa Blanca you may have to pay the ten euro entrance fee. Additionally you must be a minimum 18 years old and although the dress code is (generally) relaxed, those wearing shorts and a tee shirt will not be admitted. The language spoken in this casino is Spanish and the place has a good bar and a convention-cum-exhibition hall too.
