Spain – Gran Casino Extremadura relaunches in Western Spain as a window to Orenes’ future
By Phil - 19 November 2019
The remodelled and re-energised Orenes Gran Casino Extremadura has opened in Extremadura, a western Spanish region bordering Portugal, in the province of Badajoz, offering a more modern, dynamic and avant-garde gaming experience.
Spanish operator Grupo Orenes believes its re-launch will serve as an example of the new direction the company wants to move in by eventually re-launching all its casinos.
The entire slot offering has been renewed along with all of the live gaming tables and new spaces have been created, such as a sport bar, in which Versus, the new company’s sports betting brand has made its debut.
Eliseo Orenes, Corporate Director of the Company’s Leisure Centers, said: “With this remodelling, we wanted Orenes Gran Casino Extremadura to continue being the preferred leisure benchmark for this city and region. With this investment amounting to €4.5m we have improved all the casino’s services, including hospitality, catering or cultural and leisure activities. The aim has been to become more prominent making this space a place unique for both Extremadura and our Portuguese customers.”
Portuguese players already account for three quarters of the total number of customers. Grupo Orenes is carrying out a comprehensive remodeling of all its leisure centers, such as casinos and bingos, with the aim of relaunching and revolutionising the sector by incorporating the latest technology.
Ms Orenes explained that the Gran Casino Extremadura is a ‘door to the future of casinos, not only for the company, but for the entire sector.’
“Badajoz is a city with great tourist potential that has great restaurants and a unique cultural wealth,’ she added. “We will continue to invest in new projects more focused on hospitality and catering. The goal is to continue attracting tourists and energising this region, as we have with this leisure complex, which year after year remains the main tourist attraction of this wonderful region.”
