Hungary – Casino Sopron celebrates 25 years
By Phil - 8 April 2014
Casino Sopron, the property Casinos Austria International (CAI) has been successfully operating a casino in the Hungarian border town of Sopron since the 1990s, has just celebrated its 25th anniversary.
CAI holds a 75 percent stake in Casino Sopron, which is run in cooperation with a Hungarian partner and moved to bigger new premises at the end of 2013.
Casino Sopron has been captivating its guests in its new 1,300 square meter location in the Mediterrano complex since November 2013. The complex is brand-new, modern, and home to a state-of-the-art gaming operation. An extra-large LED sign on the exterior of the building draws immediate attention to the gaming fun on offer, and 150 free parking spaces are available for casino guests – all the more reason to spend a fun evening at the popular casino. Casino Sopron offers guests an extensive choice of nine gaming tables and 201 slot machines.
CAI Managing Directors Alexander Tucek said: “Casino Sopron has been a showpiece operation in an attractive location near the border for 25 years and has always attracted both local and tourist visitors alike,” said Tucek. “The new-look casino in the new Mediterrano complex is modern and attractive – and provides everything our guests are looking for.”
Mr. Tucek was cautious about the upcoming call for tenders for casino licenses in Hungary: “You can never ultimately know
what will happen. It is an election year in Hungary, so everything is open,” he explained. “But we will of course be looking to participate in the call for tenders. After all, there are 11 casino licenses under tender, and that is an interesting prospect.”
