VIP lounges and high rollers

In Bulgaria, excitement is not only mass entertainment, but also an element of premium culture.

Elite players - high rollers - choose a country for the combination of European level of service, moderate taxation and discreteness that the licensed industry guarantees.

VIP lounges in Bulgarian casinos have become a symbol of status, privacy and exquisite leisure, and the casinos themselves are part of the luxurious tourism and business infrastructure.

These are businessmen, investors, representatives of the elite who come to Bulgaria from:

Greece, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus;
