Like the Emerald Bay Resort in the Philippines or the Sky River Casino in California. Let’s see the most exciting new casino openings in 2022. The last two years haven’t been easy for casinos with people staying at home and choosing online gambling instead of in-person activities. Still, thanks to the less strict rules, people started to return to brick and mortar casinos. As they are still places of entertainment offering special experiences for all visitors. And of course, the chance of winning huge amounts of money as we mentioned. But people always looking for new places to visit which explains the openings of these brand new casinos. Some of them have been built in traditional gambling locations like Las Vegas and Atlantic City, but new areas also want to attract visitors with new casino sites. Like Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Cyprus where the following new resorts will open this year.

The Philippines Leads in New Casino Openings in 2022 in Asia

Four new casinos will open in the Philippines this year, thanks to the growing popularity of gambling in the Southeastern Asian country. Which is now in competition with Macau and Singapore to become a gambling hub in the area, attracting mostly Asian visitors. The first new casino, the Emerald Bay Resort and Casino will open in March at an oceanfront location in Mactan, Cebu. The casino will feature 122 gaming tables and 600 gaming machines along with 5 restaurants and a pool. Players can also stay at the resort in one of the 830 rooms and do some shopping in the themed retail outlets.

The casino will have 250 tables and 1500 machines, offering a wide choice of games. The second casino of the Filipino billionaire, Enrique Razon Jr, the Solaire in Quezon City is scheduled to open in August. It will be located in the business district of the city, offering slots, high stakes poker, a restaurant and a bar. There is one more casino from the country in the new casino openings in 2022. The Westside City Casino in Manila. This huge project will include four hotels and a grand Opera House besides the new casino at the Suncity Hotel. All of these casinos sound promising but they might be a bit too far for some of us.

New Casinos in Europe

In Europe, probably Monte Carlo and Malta will come into your mind first as a gambling destination. But we can also find a brand new casino from Finland in our list. It is called Casino Tampere, located next to the Nokia Arena in the centre of the city. The casino offers lots of table games, a poker room and progressive slots along with a restaurant and a bar. It’s great to visit the place if you’re watching an ice hockey game in the nearby arena. Travelling to south, we can also find new casino openings, like the City of Dreams Mediterranean in Cyprus. The resort is located in Western Limassol, and will open this March. A temporary casino has been actually working since 2018 but it will be moved to the resort once it’s opened. It will have 7,500m2 gaming area with over 100 tables and 1,000 state-of-the-art slot machines. No wonder that the casino owned by Melco has already joined the European Casino Association as its 29th member. The ministate of Andorra will have its own casino as well this year if everything goes according to plan. The casino will be located in the capital, Andorra la Vella. And it will organize poker tournaments and shows besides the general gambling facilities. As it was reported by online gambling sites in Spain.
