❓Frequently asked questions

Are there any casinos in Paris?

No, there are no traditional casinos with slot machines within the city limits of Paris. French law prohibits the presence of casinos in municipalities with more than 500,000 inhabitants and within a 100-kilometre radius of the capital. However, several gaming clubs do offer Poker tables, Blackjack and Punto Banco in the capital. The nearest casino is at Enghien-les-Bains, 30 minutes by RER line H from Gare du Nord.

Why are casinos not allowed in Paris?

Traditional casinos have been banned in Paris for over a century. A law passed in 1907, subsequently reinforced in 1919, restricts their operation to seaside resorts, spa towns and health resorts to keep games of chance away from major urban centres. Although a change in the law in 1988 opened up opportunities for certain large urban areas, the capital remains excluded from this exemption, making it illegal to install slot machines or roulette tables within the city limits. However, this regulatory framework applies only to traditional establishments. Since 2018, the city has allowed the opening of gaming clubs offering exclusively casino table games supervised by croupiers. These upmarket venues provide an ideal alternative alongside the Casino Barrière d'Enghien-les-Bains, the only casino in the Île-de-France region and situated to the north of the capital.

How many gaming clubs are there in Paris ?

There are currently seven official gaming clubs in Paris, which will be made permanent in early 2026 following a trial period of eight years. These Parisian establishments operate under a different legal framework to traditional casinos and offer only table games (Poker, Blackjack, Punto Banco), with no slot machines. In the Île-de-France region, there is also the Casino Barrière d'Enghien-les-Bains, the only real casino in the region with 500 slot machines and 40 traditional gaming tables.

Which are the best gaming clubs in Paris?

The most renowned gaming clubs in Paris are the Club Pierre Charron in the Golden Triangle (27 tables, a bistronomic restaurant, open 7/7), the Partouche Casino Club avenue de la Grande-Armée (a huge establishment with 90 gaming tables), the Club Barrière Paris and its restaurant La Table du Club, the Club Circus Paris with its loyalty programme and exclusive advantages, as well as the Imperial Club Paris and the Club Montmartre. Each offer a unique experience with Poker, Blackjack and other table games.

Where is the Casino de Paris and what is on the programme?

The Casino de Paris is a famous performance venue situated at 16 rue de Clichy, in the 9th arrondissement, a few steps from Place de Clichy. But don't confuse it with a casino: it is a famous music hall that has welcomed some of the biggest music hall stars for over 140 years, like Mistinguett or Line Renaud, and international artists such as Coldplay or Elvis Presley. The venue also hosts musicals. To round off your evening, the restaurant Mistinguett, on the first floor, welcomes you for dinner before or after a show in spectacular art deco interiors.

What is the capacity of the Casino de Paris?

The Casino de Paris concert hall has a capacity of around 1,500, including standing and seated places. This flexible layout means it can host a variety of shows, from concerts and musicals to one-man shows. The venue also includes the Mistinguett restaurant, which is open during performances.
