In Paris, too few people are aware but they can gamble in gambling places: clubs. In these places – that replaced game circles – no slot machines but game tables with very easy rules such as Punto Banco or Poker 21. A great poker offer is available in most gambling clubs too. The French capital city enjoys a total of 7 venues. Here are our favorite locations in the city.
Paris Elysées Club, fabulous venue in the Golden Triangle
This is one of the first gambling clubs that opened in the city, back to April 2018. This is also one of the most impressive. Set rue Marbeuf, within walking distance from the Champs-Elysées, a lot of poker or Punto Banco fans come to this muted place. The Paris Elysées Club enjoys 23 tables in 2,000sqm of surface. The facility provides Punto Banco, a very easy game, even for novices. One can play from €20. Thrills highly expected!
Players can bet from €10 at Blackjack Parisian Style, also known as Poker 21, a very popular gamble. The Paris Elysées Club also provides Ultimate Poker with jackpot fed by players. IN all, 4 tables are connected. To win the jackpot, you have to use some combos. Welcome and service are the main assets of the place.
On the club’s mezzanine, stand poker tables. Cash game fans can play Texas Hold’em and Omaha with blinds: €5/€5, €5/€10 and €10/€20. Tables are wide and particularly cozy. Undoubtedly the coziest place to play poker in the city.
