After years of waiting Finally the champion of champion reopened in January 2022null We waited about ten days before going to see how we found him, spending an evening playing. We are honest, the expectations were not very high, we doubted that we found the mess in all its splendor, and in fact it was, but overall we are not disappointed.
The news of the champion casino
The outdoor casino
A big news for the summer 2022 is the possibility of playing outdoors on the terrace of the games called unique. A truly unique thing among the live casino, certainly highly appreciated by the players who can play Blackjack, Banco and poker under the stars, admiring Lake Lugano, sipping a drink at the Lounge Bar counter or directly at the game table.
The initiative started in early July 2022 and is enjoying great success.
Registration and access with fingerprints
The big news of the new mess is that of the fingerprintsnull Don't be frightened, there is no need to worry! To date there are no more cards and tickets to play, to enter for example in slot machines.
At the time of the first access A classic registration at the welcome reception must be carried out where The imprints of the thumbs are recordednull Without this operation that takes a few minutes, you can enter.
At the entrance You have to put your thumb in the appropriate recognition machine and you can enter. Same thing for each slot machine: When you sit at a slot, to "turn it on" you have to put the thumb that will recognize the imprint, obviously anonymously. The first time you enter a slot machine you have to load the money and you can play. At the moment of the cash out the relative button will have to be crushed and the money will be magically transferred to the system of your profile. It is a bit like having the money in the thumb, but in reality they are recorded in the database with your profile recognizable through the footprints.
This is an evolution, we are in the context of a novelty that in the near future we could have everywhere, not only in the field of gambling.
To enter another slot Just place the thumb and magically the balance taken will appear on the screen. Same thing if you want to do a physical cash out of money you will find the machines scattered here and there with the same operation: place the thumb, see the balance and request the withdrawal you want, the machine will give you the banknotes.
At the moment "in our inch" we have a few cents as we have taken the round figure, we will see if we find them at the next visit.
This new innovative system is very comfortable and fast to get out of the slots and for cash out.
The new location
Substantially The location is the same as always, with some small differences that confirm that the casino is not yet fully regime for how we knew him, with the hope that over time he will return to his ancient splendor in all respects.
First of all, the slots that were just at the entrance, then the first aerial after the old turnstiles, was replaced by the new reception. The old reception at the moment no longer exists, there is only physically but not operational. The entrance was then moved a few meters ahead.
Second big difference It is that at the moment the second and third floor are closed, the plans in which the green tables were located. The green tables are now all found on the first floor together with some slot machines. The other slots are located on the ground floor as it was in the past.
The smokers room She remained where we left her: going up to the first floor on the left next to the area that housed (and we believe it will host) the Croupier of the casino online in web camnull For those who have not been going for a long time, the old smokers, first floor on the right, is closed.
The bar and the small restaurant is in the same position as where it was before. At the moment the restaurant on the eighth floor is not open. We believe that when the poker tournaments are starting to take place and the online casino will open, there will be news.
We will return as soon as possible in a few weeks and we will update the review.
As just said, due to the recent reopening, many of the strengths of the casino such as poker tournaments or the energy card are pending. We recommend to those interested, to subscribe to the casino newsletter, so that we can always be updated on the news that will be reinserted over time starting from the first months of 2022.
