Casino Admiral Gibraltar

Intro

Located in Ocean Village Marina, just a couple of minutes away from the Gibraltar International Airport, the Casino Admiral Gibraltar offers an unforgettable experience. Equipped with casino games, bingo, and keno, the place has what it takes to provide engaging and rewarding gaming sessions.

Featuring an Irish Pub & Steakhouse, a Tapas Bar, and a cocktail bar, the venue has got you covered when the time to refresh or grab a bite approaches. Hosting a variety of live performances, the venue knows how to keep guests well-entertained.

Welcoming nearly 750,000 guests yearly, it undoubtedly ranks as a gambling destination with a large volume of visitors. Hottest slots, all-time favorite bingo games, and Lucky 6 Keno are set to provide the most action-packed gaming sessions. Worth adding is that the casino is licensed by the Government of Gibraltar and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner.

Encompassing a large number of residential apartments, more than 250 marina berths, and extensive business accommodation, Ocean Village is a mixed-use marina, residential, business, and leisure development in Gibraltar.

Now, what needs to be mentioned is that Casino Admiral in Gibraltar used to operate under a different name. It was known as the Casino Gala. In 2014, it was acquired by the Novomatic Group, an Austrian gaming company, so the grand reopening and rebranding took place in 2015.

The Novomatic Group, known for its Casino Admiral brand, took over the casino as part of its expansion into new markets, assigning Gryphon, its Swiss subsidiary to take over operations.

The finalization of the purchase marked Gala Coral Group’s exit from the casino sector. In May 2013 the corporation sold 19 casinos to Rank Group, while the remaining four casinos in the United Kingdom were sold to Double Diamond Gaming Limited.

Gaming

Slot games in land-based casinos are popular for numerous reasons. Easy to understand and play, they represent excellent choices for both beginners and casual players. Depicting a variety of themes, from classic fruit machines to games inspired by legendary movies, entertaining TV shows, and so on, they are appealing to different profiles of consumers.

On top of that, they often include a variety of bonuses and jackpots, which means that they are designed to provide solid winning opportunities. Finally, they are usually available in a variety of denominations, representing an excellent choice for low-rollers and high-rollers alike.

All in all, that’s the reason why a large number of one-armed bandits occupy the floors of Casino Admiral in Gibraltar, offering players a chance to have fun and win big.

Fostering a sense of community and social interaction, bingo games have also gained the reputation of an all-time classic. Thanks to its straightforward rules, the game is accessible to people of all ages and experience levels.

Being well-structured, bingo games are usually played at a relaxed and relatively predictable gaming pace, but that doesn’t mean that they lack action. The anticipation of hearing the numbers called and the thrill of completing a pattern creates a fun and engaging experience.

Packed with over 400 electronic bingo tablets, the venue offers guests a chance to explore traditional UK-style bingo with a Mediterranean twist. Offering games in both English and Spanish, the venue has what it takes to get the party started. After all, you’ll see that for yourself once you enter the premises and purchase bingo tickets.

In case you feel like trying luck with lotto-style games, check out Lucky 6 Keno. Played live every few minutes at Casino Admiral Gibraltar, the game challenges players to pick between 6 to 10 numbers from 1 to 49, or select one of the Lucky Dip options.

Hotel Accommodations

If you truly want to pamper yourself and enjoy something extraordinary, then we suggest you visit Sunborn Yacht Hotel Resort, also located in the Ocean Village. Although the casino itself is a completely separate entity, and it doesn’t operate under the same company, it’s the closest and the fanciest option guests can consider.

Being the pioneering floating hotel, Sunborn opened its doors in 1998. Since then, bespoke Yacht Hotels have opened their doors in numerous prestigious international locations. Luxury spa hotels, restaurants, and other top-quality projects have so far been established in Scandinavia, Germany, Spain, and the UK.

Room types available at Sunborn Gibraltar include Superyacht King, Superyacht Twin, Superyacht Deluxe, Superyacht Superior, Superyacht Executive, Superyacht Rock Suite, Superyacht Apartment Suite, Superyacht Ocean Suite and Superyacht Penthouse. Needless to add each and every one is packed with superb-quality amenities.

Dining options include Barbary Restaurant, Gastro Bar, Aqua Bar, and Sapphire Bar, whereas wellness services encompass Infinity Spa and Fitness Suite. There are special offers that allow guests to stay more and pay less, encompassing complimentary breakfast and free Wi-Fi as well.

As hinted in the introductory part, Ocean Village has two casinos, Casino Admiral Gibraltar and the one located on the yacht itself- Sunborn Casino. This one’s equipped with jackpot machines, monthly poker tournaments, electronic roulette, and pinball roulette, plus top-notch sports betting terminals.

Gibraltar is not a large territory, so whichever hotel you pick, chances are it will be located near the casino. If you feel like visiting an ordinary “land-based” hotel while visiting Casino Admiral in Gibraltar, you have Holiday Inn Express Gibraltar, The Elliot Hotel, The Rock Hotel, and so on.

Dining

Even though steak is considered to be an American favorite, it actually got its name from the Scandinavian word which refers to a thick cut of meat for roasting or grilling. Pairing well with both wine and beer, steaks are often associated with social prestige.

Now, if you will that “little less conversation, little more action” time has come, then head straight to O’Reilly’s at Casino Admiral Gibraltar, because that’s what this eulogy on steaks was all about. There’s no better way to rest your head from stakes, than in the company of some delicious steaks (pun intended!).

If you feel like tasting some mouth-watering Spanish snacks, then Tapas Bar should be your destination of choice. Tasting even better with a nice glass of red wine, snacks can be consumed on Tapas Terrace as well.

On the other hand, if you feel like tasting some specialties of the Gibraltarian cuisine, which combines British and Andalusian Spanish influences. Rosto, fideos al horno, calentita, panissa, and rolitos are some of the delicacies that must be checked out. Feel free to explore local restaurants and discover some interesting flavors.

Entertainment/Nightlife/Attractions

If you’re considering entertainment options within the casino itself, then The Arena is the place to go. Offering outdoor seating and great cocktails, this place has outstanding live performances.

The venue also offers the possibility of event hosting, offering premium-quality amenities such as live music, shows, DJs, and so on. Be it a meeting, a presentation, or any other corporate or private event, be sure that the staff will do all they can to make it as memorable as possible.

As mentioned earlier, Gibraltar is relatively small in size (but one of the most densely populated territories globally) which means that you can visit its key attractions within a single day. Yet, that doesn’t mean that it has nothing much to offer. Quite the contrary.

Did you know that Gibraltar has the only wild monkey population in Europe? It is also home to over 150 caves of all sizes and shapes, some of which were used for rituals during the Neanderthal period. One of them even holds the status of the UNESCO World Heritage Site- Gorham’s Cave Complex.

Perhaps one of the most fascinating facts about Gibraltar is that the local airport’s runway crosses Gibraltar’s main road. It means that every time a plane lands or takes off, the road traffic is temporarily stopped for safety reasons. Also known for its thriving gambling scene, Gibraltar is a jurisdiction that has so far granted licenses to a large number of online casinos and gambling operators.

If you feel like chasing breath-taking views, then make sure O’Hara Battery is on your list of things to do., located at the highest point of the Rock of Gibraltar, this attraction, which was once used as a military base, is approximately 425 meters high.

Speaking of marvelous views, you can also get a Gibraltar Cable Car and climb over 400 meters. During the journey, audio tour guides describe the historical background of the sights of Gibraltar.

One of the greatest areas for natural beauty in Europe, The Upper Rock Nature Reserve is home to numerous plant species that are of unknown rarities in other parts of the globe. It is also home to more than 300 species of birds, and numerous mammals such as red fox, European Rabbits, Mediterranean monk seal, and mouse-eared bats.

Inside the Upper Rock Nature Reserve is one more attraction that shouldn’t be missed- St Michael's Cave. Created by rainwater slowly seeping through the limestone rock, this attraction receives almost 1,000,000 visitors per year. It even houses an auditorium that has wonderful acoustics, so it is also a place where visitors can enjoy fantastic light shows, ballet, drama, philharmonic orchestras, and even rock band performances.
