Albania's Royal Eagle Casino opens to the public

Located in Albania’s capital Tirana, Royal Eagle Casino which is the 2nd to open in the city in less than a year opened its doors to the public on Wednesday, June 23. It follows the opening of Grand Casino Tirana in August 2020.

The technology provided to Royal Eagle Casino by DRGT includes full multi-currency management systems across the property’s slots and tables games, inclusive of player tracking, "the Company’s world-leading 8.8” multi-touch player interfaces, as well as its cash desk and cage solutions, and several of its system-driven jackpots. 

Jurgen De MunckDR Gaming Technology CEO stated in a press release: "We were very happy to be selected to provide the full system and jackpot solution to Grand Casino Tirana last year and are obviously very proud to have been chosen again to now provide our technology to Royal Eagle. One can’t really ask for any better type of endorsement can you?’, we’re very pleased.’

Petr Kulhánek General Manager added: "We've seen the benefits of player tracking, and the ability to then tailor bonusing and jackpots for specific players or specific types of players at Grand Casino Tirana. It’s has done wonders for our players’ experience and our numbers, and I have no doubt that the team we have trained here at Royal Eagle will be able to do the same."

Most of Albania’s sports-betting operations and casinos were closed down at the start of 2019 with the implementation of new gambling legislation, that broadly put, only allows gambling to take place at 5-star hotels and resorts outside of residential areas and specifically near or in tourist locales.
