The Golden Palace Group has become a major player in the Belgian gaming industry and has diversified its activities over the years. The Group has also developed a Real Estate division, enabling it to pursue its diversity strategy whilst remaining in a reliable field.
Above all, Golden Palace is the story of a family. The adventure began in 1963, when Mario Menegalli arrived in Belgium with a slot machine on the roof of his car. He installed it in a café and the machine quickly became a great success. Sensing a real opportunity, he decided to import and install dozens more. GAA (General Automatic Amusement) was born. Part of the company's aim was to sell, as well as to rent, maintain and repair gaming machines. For 25 years, the company has sold and operated machines throughout Belgium and all over the world.
In the early 1990s, Mario Menegalli's children, Daniela and Massimo, joined the company. Together, the family opened the first gaming room in the heart of Brussels, on rue Marché au Charbon in 1992. In those days, the gaming room was called "Golden Nuggets", referencing the famous Las Vegas casino. As the company grew and increasingly became famous, its name was changed to Golden Palace.
The determination, hard work, insight and, above all, passion of the Menegalli family, enabled them to become the head of the largest gaming arcade park in Belgium. Currently, the group operates no less than 45 gaming room licences.
Twenty years after the opening of the first gaming room, the company launched its online gambling and sports betting site, respectively, under B+ (games) and F+ (betting) licences. The website www. goldenpalace.be was the first legal operator to obtain an operating licence in Belgium. Its online offer quickly expanded to include casino games, under A+ licence.
The brand has now crossed borders and has been operating the French Casino in Boulogne-sur-Mer since 2019. Golden Palace offers a modern gaming experience in an entertaining and sophisticated environment. With a popular themed restaurant and an events room, the Casino has become a benchmark in the local culture and entertainment scene.
In 2020, faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group confirmed its fundamental commitments and its sense of responsibility by creating GMS (Golden Medical System). GMS is investing in an industrial machine and has installed a production line for surgical masks in Brussels. These masks, manufactured in Belgium with exclusively European materials, are available to its establishments and to all of its partners. Golden Palace also takes its social responsibilities seriously by offering thousands of masks to associations and organisations in need, thereby helping vulnerable populations.
Keeping to its core values of having close relationships and its 100% Belgian roots, the Golden Palace Group has acquired the "Press Shop" and "Relay" shop networks in 2022. Through this acquisition, the company entered the convenience store market and now has 175 bookstores across Belgium.
Golden Palace also has 600 employees, making the company a significant economic player. Through family spirit and by respecting fundamental values, the human being is placed at the centre of the company's many activities. The organisation is also committed to a continuous training programme, which allows employees to progress within the company.

Golden Palace ; its more than 60 years of experience, 40 class B casinos in Belgium, 5 betting agencies, 2 casinos in France, 2 online gaming websites and 1 sports betting website, 180 press outlets, and 1 unique spare parts store in Belgium.
Gaming rooms
Golden Palace has established itself as the leading class B casino in Belgium. Its 40 class B casinos are located across Wallonia, Flanders, and Brussels. Numerous games, such as electronic roulette and even slot machines, are offered in an elegant and friendly setting.
Guests can also enjoy refreshments and snacks. However, contrary to popular belief, alcohol is not allowed.
The casino gaming rooms are accessible for those who are 21 years old and over.
Online games
Since 2012, the Gaming Commission has granted a permanent B+ licence to the online gaming site www.goldenpalace.be. Once again, the Group is a pioneer, as it is the first legal operator to obtain an operating licence in Belgium.
Thanks to the wide range of games and bets, and the user-friendliness of the website, www.goldenpalace.be has been a huge success and simply cannot be ignored today.
Users can find their favourite games at any time and, depending on their preferences, other games will be recommended.
Once again, Golden Palace continues its innovation by offering Live Casino in 2015. This concept, which was still relatively unknown at the time, is halfway between an online casino and a traditional casino. Live Casino is played online but offers players real roulette, blackjack, and poker tables. The game is played live, allowing players to interact directly with the dealer and follow the live video. Golden Palace then launched the first Belgian Live Casino studio for B+ games with animation in French and Dutch by Belgian presenters!
The range of games is open to everyone over the age of 21 regardless of the amount invested. Each player subscription requires registration and verification of identity data beforehand.
Sports betting
The Golden Palace betting shops invite players to bet on all live or upcoming sporting events. These shops are located in St-Ghislain, Aubange, Pecq, Wavre, and Ostend.
Betting terminals, available in bookshops, offer a simple and highly secure service. They ensure the best odds on the market as well as the most complete and varied betting offer.
Finally, betting is also available online and offers a wide choice of events, sports, and eSports on the Belgian market. Any player can freely develop their betting strategies in order to obtain perfect combinations for an even bigger win. Betting is accessible by smartphone without prior download or installation. Sports betting is available from the age of 18.
Casinos in France
The Boulogne-sur-Mer and Noirétable casinos are equipped with the latest machines. 87 traditional live and electronic games, slot machines, mechanical and electronic reels, electronic roulettes and video poker are available. The casino's gaming room is open to players aged 18 and over. Players can enjoy the bar and above all the restaurants adjoining the casinos in a friendly, contemporary environment. An events room regularly hosts cultural events, concerts and shows. The casinos at Boulogne-sur-Mer and Noirétable are true leisure centres, destined to become the benchmarks for entertainment in the broadest sense of the term in these regions of France.
