Casinos in Gran Canaria

There are three casinos in Gran Canaria. Two are located in the south of the island, and the other is located in the capital, Las Palmas de G.C. All of them require you to be over 18, and to provide either a national ID card (EU citizens), driver’s license (EU citizens), or passport, to enter. Men wearing short pants aren’t allowed in, but different casinos have slightly different rules, during different times of the day. In certain areas of the casinos, like where the sports betting machines are located, you will have to register your personal details the first time, and then after that, you will not be required to provide ID.

These are the live games available in this casino:

Poker: You can choose between 5-card stud poker,  Texas Hold’em poker cash games or tournaments. We recommend the tournaments because, for a low buy-in fee e.g. 50 euros, you can win around 2000 euros in one day, or a bigger jackpot if you have the maximum amount of points at the end of the season. The amount of weaker players in tournaments is another reason why we recommend this type of poker, versus cash games, where you will see more professionals.

Texas Hold’em Poker tournaments are held every Friday and Sunday, and are very popular, with an average of 80-100 players participating. You can also partipate in the Canarias Poker Tour, where players travel to the neighbouring islands of Tenerife and Fuerteventura casinos.
