Casino sites cyprus

Cyprus is an island along the Mediterranean Sea and south of Turkey. The country is split between Turkey and Great Britain. The part controlled by the British became the Republic of Cyprus and has become a part of the European Union. This part of Cyprus has likewise become a favorite tourist destination and a small haven for people seeking entertainment from Cyprus casinos and other gambling in Cyprus facilities.

Gambling rules governing Cyprus casinos and other gambling facilities can be characterized as relaxed. The forms of gambling apart from Cyprus casinos include sports betting, lotteries and online lotteries, and horse racing. When betting halls were made legal in the mids, several casinos were established in the town of Girne. The other half of Cyprus that went under Turkish rule crossed over to the Republic for their recreation. The gambling industry in Northern Cyprus welcomed over , visitors from Israel and Europe annually.

Cyprus Casinos
The most noted casino in the country is the Cratos Premium Hotel and Casino located in Girne. The casino operates 24 hours daily on a 43, square feet gaming area that has slot machines and other video game terminals as well as 34 live table games. The hotel has rooms, six restaurants and five bars that casino guests can go to for their dinner or refreshments. The live table games feature American and French Roulette, Poker and Blackjack as well as Baccarat, Punto Banco, Chemin-De-Fer and Keno. There are other Cyprus casinos that also offer Wheel of Fortune, Rummy, Backgammon and Chug-A-Lug.

In the port of Limassol in Southern Cyprus is where the Coral Casino cruise ship is anchored. It travels throughout European waters and the Mediterranean with a passenger capacity. Guests go on board for a luxury cruise and for the casino experience.

Gambling in the south is not limited to Cyprus casinos only as this part of the island is where the only horse racing track is located. The Nicosia Racecourse is operated by the Nicosia Race Club. Races are held all year round and bets start at two Euros.

Online Gambling
Perhaps the relaxed attitude adopted by the government on gambling created some problems in the country’s online gambling front. At the start of the wave of Internet casino gaming, there were some rogue online casinos licensed in Cyprus. Stricter rules have set the industry straight and now there are over 91 European online gambling enterprises that are licensed in Cyprus and are operating aboveboard.

Cypriots can freely place wagers online through the sports betting web sites operated out of Cyprus, including Bet, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, Gamebookers, Skybet, Unibet, Expekt and Party Bets. Online casinos are also a favorite destination of Cypriots, particularly those who do not really have access to bricks and mortar casinos. Online casinos are a welcome alternative to playing in actual casinos because they are convenient and quite easy to tackle. The locals also appreciate the generous bonuses and perks offered by online casinos, which they do not really find in actual casinos.
