The Golden Palace Group continues to expand in France with the opening of a third casino in Thonon-les-Bains
The Golden Palace Group, a key player in the gaming sector, is proud to announce the forthcoming opening of its third casino in France, in Thonon-les-Bains. This innovative establishment, the first casino in the world to meet the passive building label, marks a key stage in the Group's ambitious expansion plan in France.
Responsibility, innovation and sustainable development
With more than 60 years of expertise, the Golden Palace Group stands out for its commitment to combining tradition and innovation. This new casino, scheduled to open in 2027, demonstrates its commitment to offering first-class gaming experiences while complying with the highest environmental standards. With its avant-garde architecture and strategic location in the heart of Thonon-les-Bains, this establishment will be a symbol of the modern and responsible vision of entertainment that Golden Palace promotes through all its activities, both in Belgium and in France.
An entertainment offering to match the Group's ambitions
The Golden Palace Casino Thonon-les-Bains will offer a complete and safe entertainment experience, combining a spectacular gaming hall, a gourmet restaurant, a lounge bar and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views over the town. The rooftop terrace will also host cultural and festive events, such as concerts and themed evenings, enhancing the appeal of the area. The modern and sustainable architecture of the establishment, including a hanging garden and green spaces, will contribute to the ambiance and quality of life in the neighbourhood.
A real commitment to responsible gambling
Since its creation, the Golden Palace Group has always made it a point of honour to promote a safe and responsible gaming environment. The Thonon-les-Bains Casino will be no exception. Initiatives will be put in place to raise players' awareness of the risks of excessive gambling, and to offer appropriate tools and support to those who need it. Golden Palace will continue to ensure that gambling remains a controlled leisure activity, where the safety and well-being of players are paramount.
An engine for local growth
By setting up in Thonon-les-Bains, the Golden Palace Group is continuing its expansion in France, while making an active contribution to the local economy. The project will create more than 70 direct jobs and generate almost €65 million in additional revenue for the municipality over the next 20 years. The choice of Thonon-les-Bains for this new casino is part of a strategy to strengthen the Group's presence in France, following the success of its establishments in Boulogne-sur-Mer and Noirétable. The casino will form part of an urban regeneration programme, replacing a former industrial site with a vibrant entertainment hub and a green space open to the public.
Scheduled to open in 2027
The opening of the Golden Palace Casino Thonon-les-Bains, scheduled for 2027, will be a key moment for the Group. This third establishment in France is a perfect illustration of the success of its unique approach combining tradition and innovation. True to its roots as a Belgian family business, the Group stands out for its proximity, which makes all the difference. At Golden Palace, entertainment and responsibility go hand in hand, thanks to our strong values!
