Image Casino in Engin-les-Bains

Surprisingly, there are no gambling establishments in Paris and the surrounding area. This is due to the fact that, according to the current French law, gambling establishments can only be located in zones that have officially received the status of a resort and are located more than 100 kilometers from Paris. The only exception is the Engen casino. This resort is located 14 km from the Champs Elysees. The casino in Engen-les-Bains was opened in 1901. After 10 years, a theater was opened in it, and during wartime there was a hospital here. In 1988 it was bought by Groupe Lucien Barriere. In 2001, the building was completely renovated, and in April 2002 a new casino opened. The casino interior was designed by the famous designer Jacques Garcia. He decorated the casino with light fountains, a ceiling with stars, a lake and luxurious furniture. Today the Engen gambling establishment is the most profitable casino in France. It has tables for stud poker, blackjack, English and French roulette and other games. There are also slot machines.

The first gambling establishment in France was opened in Paris in the 17th century. This event played an important role in the development of the gambling business not only in France, but throughout the world. At first, gambling houses were a way to replenish the state treasury, the economic benefit from the existence of these establishments was obvious, so new casinos began to appear. After the French Revolution, casinos were either banned or popular again. In the first casinos, players could play only a limited number of gambling games and roulette, but with the development of the gambling business, the range of offered gambling games also expanded. By the way, the roulette, which is now so popular, was invented, according to most historians, in France. Her invention is credited to Blaise Pascal, a philosopher and mathematician who worked on the invention of a perpetual motion machine.

Today, there are five groups in France that own the country's largest casinos:
- Groupe Lucien Barriere;
- Partouche"Partush";
- Joa"Joa";
- Emeraude"Emrod";
- Tranchant"Tranchan".
