Romania casinos

The only legal form of gambling in Romania is in casinos, so it doesn't look like Romania's casinos have much competition for the gambling dollar. This is something of a change for the country, as until 1989 it was run by a rather unspeakable dictator called Nicolae Ceauscescu. Certainly nothing as liberal and open as allowing people to do as they wished with their own money would have been allowed. This meant that while there was indeed gambling (as of course there is everywhere), it was underground, in the black economy. When there was an uprising and the dictator, alongside his wife, was shot, then the country started to move back into the more normal state of affairs. Legalizing gambling, allowing Romania's casinos to start up, was an obvious part of this process. A list of Romania's casinos includes: Arad: Casinoul Astoria Arad Bucharest: Astoria Casino Casino Blindo Hotel Sofitel Casino Bucharest Hotel Inter-Continental Casino Bucur Casino Kings Casino Palace Casino Paris & Hotel Casino Victoria Casino Vox Grand Casino Lido Casino & Lido Hotel Marriott Grand Hotel & Casino Mirage Casino Hotel Ambasador Perla Princess Casino Planet Princess Slot Casino Plaza Casino Club Princess Casino Havana Constanta: Cazino Felix: Casino Salzor Galati: Sofin Hotel & Casino Iasi: Bond Casino Mokdova Mamaia: Casino Best Rimnicu Vilcea: Casino Royal Sinaia: Hotel Palas Peles Castle and Casino Timisoara: Casino Senitor Casino Sterling As you can see, there is a thriving casino sector. However, it does need to be said that Romania's casinos might not all meet the usual description of a casino. Many of them have no gaming tables at all, or do not offer roulette, or have other omissions. Some of them have only video poker games and similar electronic games available, for example. In common with much of Eastern Europe and the ex-Soviet Union these days (and Romania, despite the 1989 events, was something of a slow starter), there are a goodly number of people who have made very large sums of money very quickly. Some legally, some not, and some in a grey area inbetween. Romania's casinos are a frequent stopping place for all three of these groups, and it does pay to find out which are the best casinos in any specific town you are visiting. In the best high quality Romania casinos, you might still find those who have made their money all too quickly, but you will be assured that everything from the decorations to the quality of the food and the drink will be of the very best.
