Land-based casinos

After a nationwide ban from January 1, 2019, Albania has maintained an extremely restrictive offline mode: casinos can only be opened in 5-star brand hotels or specially defined tourist areas.

This was publicly confirmed by the authorities and specialized media. The central market is concentrated in Tirana: Regency Casino Tirana near Rinia Park is a demonstration facility. The rules of the industry are based on Law No. 155/2015 "On Gambling" and are administered by financial authorities/gambling regulator.
