Company bought second casino in region
Casino Admiral San Roque in Andalusia opened last month under new operator Novomatic. It’s the first Spanish casino in the group’s portfolio of 1,600 gaming facilities worldwide, the company announced.
“The striking new casino was met with great acclaim as it revives a unique gaming and leisure offering for locals and tourists in Andalusia, creates jobs in the region and provides a new economic impetus for the municipality and beyond,” Novomatic said in a statement.
The grand opening concluded a year of renovations for Phase I of the casino project. Phase II, which will include a hotel, spa, restaurant, pool and gym is expected to open by the end of this year. The total investment amounts to €20 million (US$22.4 million)
The casino had been closed since 2010. In a public tender, Novomatic successfully applied for the operating license “in a clear demonstration of the group’s commitment to Andalusia and confidence in the region as an ideal location for sustained economic efficiency,” the company said in a statement.
Groundbreaking took place in November 2015 on the facility, which spans 5,600 square meters (60,000 square feet) and will provide more than 100 jobs in the region. To start, the gaming floor will include eight live gaming tables and a modern bingo arena. Novomatic recently purchased a second casino operation, also in Andalusia, Casino Aljarafe in Sevilla.
“In the months to come, Novomatic will make considerable investments in the refurbishment and modernization of the casino to implement the proven premium gaming, entertainment and gastronomy concept at the new Casino Admiral Sevilla,” the company said.
