Casino Barrières Angéan-les-Bains
The Casino Barrière Angéan-les-Bains is located near Paris in the town of Angin-les-Bains. It was originally planned as a resort because of the discovery of thermal springs that attracted many tourists from all over the world. Thus one of the most popular spa resorts was created and the casino became one of its main attributes. The entertainment complex offered bars, restaurants and a theatre that regularly hosted shows and performances by famous performers of the time.
The history of the Barrières Angéan-les-Bains
The history of the casino goes back to the discovery of the thermal springs in Angien-le-Beine in the 18th century. To be precise, in 1766 the priest Louis Cotte discovered the thermal springs. The location was easily accessible by public transport. It was easily accessible from Paris, so it was an ideal way to attract new visitors. The casino became a tool to develop the region as a holiday resort.
The casino building was designed specifically next to the hotel, so its guests were given the opportunity to dip into the world of gambling and the thermal springs to recuperate. The city even without the casino attracted many tourists. The rose garden and esplanade, which are both places of honour, were worthy of mention. Visitors had plenty of ways to enjoy themselves, from gambling to water sports and spa treatments. Over time the back of the casino has become a real landmark, attracting more and more visitors and tourists.
The exterior of the building was unusual. It was shaped like a lighthouse with a futuristic design that made it one of the main attractions of the region. In 2005, a major renovation was carried out and the facility got a slightly different look and became more modern. One of the casino’s special features as a gambling venue is that it has always been presenting the latest slot machines to the public. It is now owned by a company that has over 37 casinos in Switzerland, Egypt and France. There are also bars, restaurants and tennis courts on the casino grounds.
Range of games
The Ile-de-France region has only one casino, which is probably one of the reasons for its success. Its location on the shores of Lake Anguillen has made it even more attractive, as it is a great place for outdoor activities with water hobbies. As elsewhere in the world, only those aged 18 and over are permitted to play at the casino. The arsenal of slot machines numbers 487 and is regularly updated with new ones. There’s also video poker, touch-screen slots and the famous Hollywood slots. Casino features include a minimum bet of 1 cent, which has made the hobby accessible to anyone with any income.
The gaming complex offers casinos, a restaurant, bars, fitness centre, gyms, saunas and baths, swimming pools, therapeutic baths, fishing, rowing, water-skiing and much more. Casino gaming is not a free pastime. Visitors will have to pay €14-16 for admission alone, depending on the day of the week. Among the machines are classic slots, multi-screen slots and multi-slots. Poker, blackjack and roulette can also be played.
