The Paris Club Elysées gaming hall opened its doors on April 26, 2018, a first since 1920 and the ban on gaming halls within a 100km radius of Paris, to avoid public order disturbances, with the exception ofEnghien-les-Bains, located in a spa zone!
The 2,500m² hall, owned by the Tranchant group (16 casinos in France), has 23 gaming tables open every day from 2pm to 6am. The Paris Club Eysées hosts Poker 21 (a blackjack variant), Caribbean Stud Poker, three-card poker, Pot Limit Omaha, Ultimate Poker and Texas Hold'Em Poker, with tables priced at €250, €500 and €1,000 minimum.
Sébastien Tranchant, CEO of the Tranchant Group, says he expects 300,000 customers in the first year. But not just anyone can enter the Paris Club Elysées. You'll need to pay attention to your style of dress, be of legal age, pay the €15 entry fee and bet more than €20, at the very least.
The only drawback: no roulette, blackjack or slot machines. Players will have to make do with poker variants, an obligation for gaming halls wishing to take advantage of the National Assembly's experiment.
This opening is the first of many: 7 or 8 establishments are expected to open in the coming months. The Barrière Group, which owns the Enghien-les-Bains casino and Fouquet's on the Champs-Elysées, has already announced that it is preparing a bid to reopen theAviation Club de France on the 1st floor of 104 avenue des Champs-Elysées.
