Portorož has a rich gambling tradition dating back more than a century and closely linked to the development of tourism.

Gambling further enriched the town’s already well-developed spa offering and attracted many visitors to Portorož. Over the years, casinos became an important part of social life, attracting guests from around the world and supporting the development of infrastructure and the wider community.

Organised gambling officially began in Portorož in 1913, when the first casino opened at Villa San Lorenzo, laying the foundations for the further growth of tourism and the prestige of this seaside resort.

Today, Portorož still offers several options for visiting a casino. If you want to add games of chance, entertainment or a slightly different experience to your evening, you can choose from casinos in Portorož and the surrounding area.
