My first trip to Ireland was in my early 20s, and I spent most of it recovering from a hangover. At the time, I didn’t think there was anything else to do in Dublin besides drink Guinness and whiskey at The Porterhouse or The Old Stand Pub. It wasn’t until later on, when I began traveling around Europe on my own for the first time that I discovered what an incredible destination Ireland is. The Emerald Isle turns out to have so much more than just beer-drinking (though don’t get me wrong—there’s still plenty of that). Here are some of the best casinos in Ireland:
Casino at Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel
Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel is a luxury hotel, and its casino is located on the ground floor. The casino has over 100 slot machines and 20 gaming tables. It also has a sports bar and lounge area that can be reserved for private parties, as well as an exclusive VIP room.
Cork’s River Lee Hotel & Casino
The River Lee Hotel & Casino is located on the banks of Cork’s iconic River Lee, with views of the city and its famous County Hall. The casino offers a wide range of games such as blackjack, roulette and slots, while there are also restaurants on-site for you to enjoy if you want to eat dinner before or after your gaming experience.
The hotel features 250 rooms which are spread across three floors: two luxury suites (one featuring two bedrooms), eight executive suites each with one bedroom and ensuite bathroom; seven standard rooms with queen beds; three deluxe family rooms sleeping up to four people; plus one disabled room which has been designed specifically for wheelchair users but can also accommodate those who use walking aids such as crutches or canes because it has wider doorways than other facilities at this location
Galway Bay Hotel, Spa & Casino
The Galway Bay Hotel, Spa & best Casino Ireland and has a selection of games that will suit everyone. The casino is located in the main building and offers sports bar, lounge and restaurant. There are also several bars on site including a whiskey bar where you can try some local favorites like Jameson Irish Whiskey or Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey while playing your favorite games!
The spa at this hotel includes an indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi as well as sauna facilities. There’s also gym equipment available for those who want to work out while staying here! The rooms themselves were very nice too – we stayed on an executive room which had great views over Galway Bay (you could even see Clare Island from our window).
Racing and Gaming at Punchestown Racecourse
The only racecourse in Ireland with a casino, a five star hotel and spa.
In addition to its status as the only racecourse in Ireland with a casino, Punchestown Racecourse also boasts an impressive list of amenities that make it one of the most luxurious places to stay while you’re enjoying your vacation:
- Five Star Hotel – The Castletown House Hotel is located at Castletown House Estate just outside Naas town centre and offers guests modern luxury accommodation.
- Spa – Enjoy treatments from top names including Clarins and Murad at The Spa at Punchestown Racecourse which has been voted one of Ireland’s best spas by Conde Nast Traveller magazine.* Casino – Punchestown Casino is open 24 hours every day during race weeks (1st April – 29th October).
Ireland is home to some of the best casinos in the world.
Whether you’re a seasoned gambler or just beginning your casino journey, Ireland is home to some of the best casinos in the world. Why? Because they have everything you could possibly want from a casino: great amenities, friendly staff and patrons–and even better luck!
Here are some reasons why we think Ireland has some of the best casinos around:
- The Irish love gambling. In fact, there are more than 1,000 betting shops across Ireland with 20% more people visiting them than ever before! They also love playing games like poker or blackjack at home; according to statistics from 2016-2017, nearly 50% of adults aged 18+ play cards once per month while 30% admit they play regularly (at least once per week). This means that when it comes time for an actual trip out into town or down south towards Cork City where many casinos reside today then there’ll be no shortage whatsoever when looking for places where locals go most often during weekends/holidays etcetera…
Conclusion
Now that you know about the best casinos in Ireland, it’s time to get out there and explore! The country has so much to offer, from stunning landscapes to rich history and culture. But if you’re looking for something unique and fun, these five options will surely not disappoint.
