GAMES OFFERING

The first Bingo events organized in our establishments attracted a new clientele, players with very little experience in casinos and that will certainly discover all the games displayed in these establishments.

REDEPLOYMENT AND RENOVATIONS

The Groupe Partouche continues to refocus on the renovation / extension of its establishments, thus:

• In Saint Galmier (Loire region) the casino was entirely rethought with larger spaces and the brasserie restaurant being now an integral part of the casino, with an independent entrance for a non-gaming clientele ;
• In Andernos, (Gironde region), customers can enjoy the very last version of a casino that combines gaming and non-gaming offers in the same space;
• In Vichy Grand Café: the gaming room was enlarged and the establishment refurbished in a more modern and friendly environment. The number of its slots was increased by the 35 machines following the closure of the casino des 4 Chemins, together with a very satisfactory switch of the latter's volume of activity towards Vichy Grand Café casino.

AGREEMENT OVER THE TRANSFER OF THE CANNES CASINO WITHIN THE PREMISES OF THE 3.14 HOTEL

In December 2015, the Interior Minister granted the Cannes casino the authorization to transfer its activity within the premises of the 3.14 Hotel. The current operation of this establishment is structurally and heavily loss-making since many years now, due to the negative impact of an inappropriate location. This redeployment within the premises of the 3.14 hotel will allow a better equilibrium of the establishment and a redesigned offer more in line with its customer's expectations.
