We are planning our move over to TRNC in a few months and have found 44 to be of great value. As a casino professional with over 25 years experience, I was interested to find out about how the casino's are doing, however, I know some have closed. trying to find information about the casino's via the net is proving hard. Can anyone involved in gaming or anyone there give me some information. Would be gratefully received. Regards, Andy

They all seem very busy specially the week ends as hotels fly in customers. Only one has closed as far as i know.

Seeing the stretch limos outside most of the big casinos, I'd say they are doing very well !!

hi Andy,

I opened the casino in Pia bela hotel, in Kyrenia a few years ago. The casino business is entirely dependent on junket business from Turkey. All the casinos have at least one office in Istanbul They fly in groups thursday to sunday every week. There was a small amount of groups from Israel, but I thnk they have died out. 95 percent of the management staff are from the Turkish mainland. Dealing staff is a mix of Kyrgz,Kazahk and Turkish mainland dealers. I think you will find it very hard to find work, if you can get a working visa. Good luck with the move, all the best Craig
