Casino de Marrakech

Casino de Marrakech is Morocco’s most historic and prestigious poker destination, having established itself as the cornerstone of the country’s gaming scene. As the first casino in Morocco, it opened its doors in 1952 and has since earned a distinguished reputation as a premier venue for live poker.

The Es Saadi Resort houses a vast gaming space of 900 square metres, featuring over 180 slot machines and multiple table games. The dedicated poker room hosts some of the most prestigious international tournaments in the world, including the World Poker Tour National, the World Series of Poker Circuit, and the Marrakech Poker Open, drawing professional players from across the globe. The venue has become a standout on the African poker scene, with recent WSOP Circuit festivals achieving prize pools exceeding 6 million euros and attracting large international crowds.

Beyond the tables, Casino de Marrakech offers a complete luxury experience as part of the Es Saadi Gardens and Resort. Guests can enjoy fine dining, live band performances after 10pm, and one of Morocco’s top nightclubs. The casino has been fully renovated while preserving its historical facade, blending vintage charm with modern amenities.
