Estoril Casino, near Lisbon

A trip through Costa Estoril, in the Lisbon surroundings, it will not be complete if you do not approach to see the Estoril Casino.

Regardless of whether or not you like the gaming activities that are performed in casinos (not my case ...), you should know that the Estoril Casino, founded in 1931, is the oldest in Portugal, and its early years were marked by spy stories during the SSecond World War, and dethroned kings who had their stately residence in exoril in Estoril.

Currently, the Estoril Casino It is a great leisure center, which not only offers the historic game rooms, but also includes a large auditorium, art galleries, rooms for events and, of course, shops, restaurants and bars.

In Portugal there are now eight casinos and they are a concession from the State.

Opened in 1931 by initiative of Faust of Figueiredo, an important tourism entrepreneur of the time, when you now enter the Estoril Casino, you access the original building, although, logically, something redecorated. And since 2011 you can do it without any entrance control (usual in casinos) as if you will enter a large leisure center in any city.

Between the curiosities of the Estoril Casino that I can tell you, I will tell you that there are more than 1,300 game machines in it, and that the black Jack It is the modality in which more people play. Although yes, roulette is where more money moves.

In addition, a great poker tournament is held every weekend, which is currently open to everyone.

The main casino room has a great game environment during day and night, because here the curious and voyeurs are allowed. But if you want to access more select rooms, smaller size and more exclusive environment, you can do it, but there you must play.

On a Saturday or Sunday, up to 500 people usually concentrate in the main hall, of which about 150 are playing simultaneously.

Finally, if you like to play in a casino, you should know that the minimum bet in poker is 2 euros, and in the Black Jack, 5 euros. And if you win, to celebrate it you can order a bottle of champagne Moet & Chandon, that, yes, it will cost you 90 euros.

The Estoril Casino schedules They are every day, from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m.
