On a site of 1,200 m2 the casino will offer visitors an exciting leisure and entertainment complex, all the usual casino activities plus the very best poker tournaments, including the popular Monthly Tournament Poker League which regularly attracts over a hundred players and will start on 1 April.

The building consists of an open room that integrates all aspects of gambling. There are many other rooms and areas for general and private use. One new feature is the ‘Games Zone’ designed for maximum enjoyment of the public. It consists of multi betting terminals, numerous TV screens and a seating area to follow the events and even grab a snack.

In addition, the Casino Mediterráneo Orihuela – Costa offer a cultural centre with its ‘Multipurpose Hall’ which will be used periodically to exhibit the works of local and national artists. The first exhibition will feature 18 paintings by the cartoonist and painter Alfonso Ortuño.

The opening of this casino will not only offer a new cultural and entertainment facility for the area but also the promotion of employment amongst local personnel. Last September, the Mediterranean Casino signed a collaboration agreement with the city of Orihuela in which, the Local Employment Agency shortlisted 60 people, of which 15 were eventually selected to undertake instruction at the School of dealers prior to taking up employment at the Casino.
