Casino Solverde (Espinho) — casino in Espinho (near Porto)

Casino Solverde in the seaside town of Espinho is the flagship of Portugal's Solverde group and one of the most atmospheric casinos in the north of the country, just half an hour's drive from Porto. The modern building of the current casino opened in 1983 on the site of an older gaming house with long-standing traditions of Atlantic resort leisure. Spacious halls with ocean views bring together hundreds of slot machines and tables for roulette, blackjack, poker and the classic French banque, while nearby stands the elegant Solverde hotel with a thermal spa and panoramic pools. The casino is famous for its packed programme: concerts, dinner shows and gastronomic festivals draw not only gamblers but also connoisseurs of evening entertainment. Its location by a wide sandy beach and its proximity to Porto's wine cellars make Solverde a popular weekend destination. It is a showcase of the Portuguese coast, where gambling sits alongside the ocean breeze and port wine.
