Insight AUSTRIA Casinos Austria Group
have visited its 12 casinos since 1968; more than 34 million of them were international guests. During the last two years, Casinos Austria welcomed more international than national guests.
1.6 BILLION EUROS IN INVESTMENTS As a leading company in Austria's economy, Casinos
Austria leaves an impression far beyond its own area of operations and invested €1.6bn over the past 50 years, into new technologies, the expansion of its offer, the establishment of a parallel data centre and the technological equipment of lottery POS.
Further, Casinos Austria makes investment in the equipment and furnishing of the casinos themselves. Te investment sum of €786m becomes comprehensible when taking a look at the numerous openings and reconstructions of the past 50 years: 1968 Casinos Austria – then known as Spielbanken AG – started with casinos in Baden, Bad Gastein, Kitzbühel, Salzburg, Velden and Vienna.
In 1969 the casino in Seefeld was opened, in 1972 Kleinwalsertal followed. In the 1980s the development went quickly: in 1982, 1984 and 1986 Casinos Austria opened new venues in Linz, Graz and Bregenz. New and re-openings after, in parts, comprehensive reconstruction were made between 1989 and 1991 in Velden, Kitzbühel and Vienna. As the last new location for decades, the casino in Innsbruck started its operations in 1992. In 1993, Casino Salzburg moved to its new venue in Klessheim Castle. After reconstruction and re-opening in 1995 and the complete makeover in 2007, Casino Baden has
become the largest casino in Europe including a congress and event centre.
Te reconstruction works and adaptations in the recent past were investments with which the significance of the food and beverage offer at the casinos was further highlighted. Redesign at the casino in Vienna in 2014 resulted in the opening of the Cuisino restaurant with its red and grey salon. With the massive redesign of the casino in Bregenz in the same year, the restaurant area was also enhanced greatly. During this time, the general refurbishment of the casino in Klessheim Castle in Salzburg was started as well, bringing more space for guests and staff by adding two new buildings. In 2014, the façade, the main entrance and the courtyard of Casino Velden were completely redesigned in the context of a shared space concept. Te casino located near the Wörthersee lake further received a new, spectacular home for its award-winning cuisine: the maritime- styled Cuisino restaurant "Die Yacht" opened its doors for the first time in June 2016.
Another milestone was achieved at the beginning of 2016: replacing the closed venue in Bad Gastein, the completely new casino of Casinos Austria in Zell am See opened its doors.
Te most recent highlight of architectural large-scale projects is the recently finished reconstruction of Casino Graz. Roughly €8.5 m has been invested in the redesign of the casino, which now offers a noble, unique design from the entrance area to the golden bar.
