Irish Casinos

Currently casinos are officially illegal under Irish law. However, casino operators are using a loop-hall according to which privet, members-only clubs offering gambling activities are legal. There are currently 12 members-only casino-clubs in Ireland, of which seven are located in the country’s capital, Dublin.

Although smaller and more exclusive than common European casino establishments, Ireland clubs offer all the classic casino games, such as Roulette, Blackjack, Punto Banco / Baccarat and slots. Poker is also very popular in Ireland. The Irish Open Poker tournaments is the second longest running No Limit Texas Holdem tournament in the world, and Europe’s largest, and draws many Poker players to the country from all over the world each year.
