The Casino FlaminGO complex to date comprises a hotel with 60 rooms and Spa & Wellness areas, as well as two restaurants, three bars, a café and a nightclub. The casino floor offers 26 live gaming tables with a comprehensive offering, and the number of slots has now been expanded from the original 470 gaming machines to 920 terminals – and will further increase to 1,001 units by the end of the year.
