On May 15, 2021, a premium entertainment complex opened in Kyiv. The unit is located in the building of the fashionable Fairmont Grand Hotel at 1, Naberezhno-Khreshchatytska Street and is open to the visitors 24 hours a day. From the very first minutes of staying in the halls of the casino, they amaze with their design and luxury, modern gambling equipment and staff speaking several languages.
The official opening took place in a solemn and at the same time cozy atmosphere.
Of course, it was not done without the traditional red ribbon cutting and the company’s top officials speeches.
“I am infinitely happy to have the opportunity to welcome guests to the new brand complex of our network Shangri La Casino in Kyiv. This city inspires with its atmosphere and attitude to cultural values. But even more impressive is the sincerity and mentality of Ukrainians. My views and principles of doing business fully coincide with the approach to business of my Ukrainian colleagues. We are tirelessly expanding our global presence and this time focused on attractive opportunities in Ukraine. Our approach to business is based on the principle of benefit for everyone – customers, society and business. Ukraine makes it possible to implement this approach thanks to the adoption of the law on the gambling legalization and the great market potential” – said Storm International President Michael Boettcher.
“This is the day we have all been looking forward to. It is great that we have the opportunity to create jobs for Ukrainians and help the country’s economy with new tax revenues. Having a casino in the city center in 4-5 star hotels is ideal. This will provide significant potential for business growth. This will bring more money to the city’s budget. This will provide more quality jobs with more opportunities” – noted Darren Keane.
The opening ceremony attracted several dozen visitors. In the following weeks, the new gaming halls were not empty. And the first big wins were not long in coming, which became a special reason for the pride of this young casino.
This is a truly premium leisure center in Kyiv, with 20 gaming tables and 80 slot machines. Here you can play all types of poker, blackjack, roulette or punto banco. Those wishing to relax individually can try their luck in the slot hall – there are traditional ones, familiar to most players, and the most modern and amazing ones. The club has privileges for VIP-clients, you can retire in rooms for a private game, in which nothing distracts from the process.
And also there is a junket-tour service, which provides for meeting and accommodating guests, spending leisure time, transfer, booking rooms, organizing excursions around Kyiv – whatever the guest wishes.
