Casinos in Barcelona: Where Leisure and Excitement Come Together
Barcelona is one of the favorite destinations for visitors, thanks to its five international-level gambling halls. In a turbulent year like 2020, we remember that tourism is one of the most important resources for Catalonia's economy.
With the rise of online gaming, fans of poker tournaments or practice roulette online have also signed up for gambling tourism. Currently, 32% of visitors to the casinos in the Spanish State are already foreigners.
The importance of this type of tourism has not gone unnoticed even by the main associations of the game of Catalonia as Patrojoc, nor for the authorities of Barcelona, which already include the five establishments that the city has among its main tourist attractions.
