Welcome to Casino Life Just back from Tallinn, Estonia where Casino Life was invited by Olympic Entertainment Group, as the only UK gaming magazine, to their grand double opening – the Hilton Tallinn and the OEG
Casino. As can be expected in this line of business there are lots of openings and I've seen quite a few over the years. All of them try to be special in different ways. Some are classy and subdued; others have razzamatazz and glamour. Occasionally you get fireworks. This one had everything above plus more... if girls covered in diamonds emerging from giant eggs and the group president appearing on stage in an open top car can be called more (which it is in my book).
Over 1,000 guests including the President of Estonia, were given guided tours of the hotel and afterwards drink and food, jazz bands and pop stars were on three levels including the casino itself where the party reached a crescendo – and eventually subsided in the early hours of the following day.
Everyone I spoke to was impressed by the hotel that has extraordinary attention to detail and just that little extra "luxury feel". Pleasantly, that detail and sophistication spills over to the casino too, which has all the right games in all the right places but plenty of space in between. At no time do you feel penned in by slots – it's spacious, gracious and a cool place to hang out even if you're not gambling. That is a good thing... so please don't misread it.
