On June 5 th , Casino ADMIRAL Helmond near the Dutch high-tech hotspot Eindhoven officially opened its doors. The brand-new electronic casino, situated in the monumental original cinema and theatre complex of the former “Scala Bioscope”, welcomed over 70 guests at a festive midnight opening.

Gumpoldskirchen, July 14th 2021 – Casino ADMIRAL Helmond is the 7th Casino ADMIRAL venue in the Netherlands since Casino ADMIRAL Hoofddorp premiered in 2015. At full capacity, the casino is able to host guests at 190 player positions, making it the largest casino in the region. Currently though, due to the COVID-19 restrictions and strict safeguarding protocols, capacities are limited to allow for the necessary social distancing.

The interior design of Casino ADMIRAL Helmond was inspired by the rugged look of old masonry, the industrial elements of ironwork as well as the lush art deco style of the roaring 20s, the era in which the famous “Scala” cinema was originally built. The result is a sophisticated mix of textures, materials and colours, which range from the original materials of the building’s core, to premium crafted plate work, chandeliers and a striking alcohol-free gin-bar that dominates the front wall of the main gaming area. Lighting is provided by means of multi-coloured LEDs and realistic stained glass-like ornaments. Interactive light installations and video screens have been integrated to accentuate special occasions like jackpot hits and can be adapted to the time of day.

As the latest member of the Casino ADMIRAL family, Casino ADMIRAL Helmond offers the highest standards in terms of gaming equipment, hospitality and responsible gaming. The new team on site has been expertly trained by experienced staff members from other locations such as Casino ADMIRAL Heerlen, Hoofddorp and Hulst. The casino uses an advanced cashless system and offers the most popular reel games, video slots and electronic Roulette as well a 3-level linked jackpot – plus Bingo on Sundays. The hospitality offer includes free food and beverages as well as regular events and raffles. With opening hours from 8.00am - 3.00am as well as free parking, Casino ADMIRAL Helmond guarantees that its guests will have a great time in an exciting ambience and with premium service and equipment.

Thomas Komnacky, NOVOMATIC VP Global Operations, said: "The opening of this new Casino ADMIRAL venue in the Netherlands is further evidence that we are committed to a sustainable business strategy, even in economically difficult times. The casino is located inan exceptional building that has been skilfully adapted by our interior design specialists – in combination with our first-class service and premium gaming offer I am convinced that it will soon become another milestone in our Dutch story of success."
