Grand Casino Beograd is one of the most sophisticated properties to appear during Southeastern Europe’s ongoing casino boom. Situated on the banks of the river Danube, this new entertainment center in Belgrade, Serbia, provides guests with an impressive mix of modern gaming, fine dining, entertainment and conference facilities.
The casino offers 25 tables of American roulette, blackjack, Casino Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Texas Hold’em Poker, and midi punto banco. Slot players will find over 220 state of the art machines linked to a Mystery Jackpot.
Inside the gaming area, the restaurant Diva offers a gourmet menu and wine list, while Ginger features Asian fusion cuisine. A third restaurant, Chameleon, located outside the gaming area and accessible from outside the casino as well, serves French and Italian cuisine.
A luxurious mix of leather, glass, marble and turned wood gives Grand Casino Beograd a contemporary yet glamorous ambience. The various gaming and relaxation areas flow elegantly one into the other. Adding a touch of history, the casino has been built inside the yet-to-be renovated Hotel Jugoslavija, which hosted international movie stars and world leaders during the Tito years in Yugoslavia.
The Parada multi-function room can accommodate up to 250 people for receptions, press conferences, seminars and banquets. Finishing the offering is the high-end retail Vicky M shop, located right in the gaming area.
The casino began operations at the end of June 2007 and celebrated its grand opening in February 2008.
