Batumi, the coastal gem of Georgia nestled along the Black Sea, is rapidly gaining recognition as the "Las Vegas of the Black Sea." With its wide choice of casinos and a stunning seaside backdrop, Batumi is captivating visitors from around the world and solidifying its status as a premier gambling destination.
Rising Star of the Black Sea:
In recent years, Batumi has experienced a remarkable transformation, evolving from a quiet seaside town into a bustling hub of entertainment and excitement. The city's strategic location, combined with significant investment in tourism infrastructure and development, has fueled its ascent as the new Las Vegas of the Black Sea.
The recently opened Alley of Heroes is a perfect example of city tourist infrastructure development. The pedestrian walkway boasts numerous landmarks and statues, footwalk bridges and scenic viewing points. The wide 6-lane street is surrounded by high rise residential buildings, hotels and newly opened casinos (casino Otium, casino Shangrila, casino Maximus), closely resembles Las Vegas strip with flashing neon lights and regular musical shows at the singing fountains on the seashore.
Chief Executive Officer of casino Otium, Mr Ramachandar Siva explains: “Fulfilling the fundamental needs of players for a clean, safe and comfortable casino facility coupled with world class service experience is the formula for success. These and the on-going infrastructure development will continue to drive quality visitors to Batumi, helping the casinos to grow the mass market volume.”
Gaming Diversity
At the heart of Batumi's allure is the diversity of casino operators. From mass gaming to luxury hotels and VIP gaming complexes, Batumi offers a diverse array of gaming options to suit every taste and preference. Yaroslav Roshchin from Batumi based casino equipment supplier Gaming Supplies LLC comments: “Whether it’s roulette, dealer-dealt poker or player-to-player poker rooms, blackjack, baccarat, Nui Nui, slot games & electronic roulette - the choice of gaming options is so diverse that players have so much to explore and experience.”
Casino Eclipse, Grand Bellagio, Casino Royal & it’s luxurious neighbor Mandarin casino, and Casino Peace are just a few examples of venues that attract gaming enthusiasts as well as high-rollers with their lavish interiors, cutting-edge facilities, and a wide range of gaming tables and slot machines.
Vibrant Nightlife and Entertainment:
Beyond its gaming offering, Batumi casinos boast an array of bars and vibrant evening entertainment performances, including live music, DJ performances, and themed shows late into the night.
The city's bustling streets come alive with energy and excitement during summer season, creating an electrifying atmosphere that draws visitors from far and wide to experience Batumi's unique blend of culture, entertainment, and hospitality.
Coastal Charm and Seaside Luxury:
In addition to its gaming and nightlife offerings, Batumi entices visitors with its Black Sea beaches, scenic promenades, and adventurous mountain ranges. Guests can indulge in seaside relaxation, watersports activities, and world-class spa treatments while taking in panoramic views of the Black Sea.
Luxury hotels such as the Hilton Batumi, Mandarin and Le Meridien offer upscale accommodations, impeccable service, and a wealth of amenities to ensure a memorable stay for discerning travelers. Le Méridien Batumi hotel hosts beautifully designed casino Empire, which was the first casino to open following COVID. The casino reached a new level of customer service and together with iconic Meridien quickly became a new gem of the Black Sea Vegas.
The director at The Empire casino Nino Kapanadze observes: “The casinos attract tourists with high incomes, which in turn drives local economy and demand for premium services such as luxury hotel accommodation, shopping, spa and high-end restaurants. As casino industry in Batumi is reaching new heights of development, the investment is raising the level and variety of services offered to foreign tourists.” Nino Kapanadze is a great and unique example of a Georgian female succeeding to the highest ranks of casino management in the gaming industry.
Looking Ahead:
As Batumi continues to evolve and expand its offerings, the city is poised to further cement its reputation as the premier gaming destination on the Black Sea coast. With ongoing investments in tourism infrastructure, entertainment facilities, and cultural attractions, Batumi is set to captivate visitors and redefine the concept of leisure and luxury in the region.
As the new Las Vegas of the Black Sea, Batumi invites travelers to experience the excitement, glamour, and indulgence of a world-class regional gambling destination against the stunning backdrop of the Black Sea coastline and beautiful Caucasus mountains.
