The largest casino in Georgia, on the Batumi seafront. Multiple gaming floors, a dedicated poker club, restaurant, nightclub, and live broadcast studio. Host of the annual EAPT Georgia series ($2M+ prize pool, 600+ players). Open 24/7. Dress code enforced. Foreign nationals 18+, Georgian citizens 25+.
Best poker room in Batumi by a mile. Dealers are professional, table limits are reasonable, and the atmosphere is legitimately good. Restaurant upstairs is overpriced but you're paying for the view. Avoid weekends if you hate crowds.
Ask for the player's card on your first visit — free drinks after a few hours at the tables.
Soho is the most stylish casino in Batumi — part casino, part high-end restaurant, part lounge. Not 24/7 but the $10 minimum keeps the tables serious. Kitchen open until 4AM (rare in Batumi). Cash games daily from 19:00. DJ sets Thu–Sun.
If you're going to one casino in Batumi, make it Soho on a Thursday or Friday. The $10 minimum keeps the tables clean. Food is legitimately excellent — try the khinkali. Cocktail bar is expensive but worth it once.
Book a table in the restaurant section if coming for dinner — walk-ins after 10PM are hit or miss.
Casino hotel inside the iconic horseshoe-shaped Alliance Palace building (Courtyard by Marriott). 20 live tables, 150 slots. Home to the XO Poker Club with Cash Game Festivals (THNL/PLO). Unique Olympus Floating Stage for entertainment. 2 minutes from the beach.
The building alone makes it worth a visit — Alliance Palace is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Batumi. The XO Poker Club has serious cash games. Not as big as Eclipse but the setting is unique and the table quality is good.
The XO Poker Club runs Cash Game Festivals in June and August — check their schedule before you arrive.
Billionaire Casino — a modern gaming venue in central Batumi. Table games and slots across multiple floors. Consistent crowd, accessible minimum bets, no dress code.
Solid mid-range choice. The name is bigger than the casino, but that's fine — the tables are real and the minimums are fair. Good fallback option when Empire or Eclipse are packed.
Check table availability before midnight — popular on weekends.
The serious poker player's choice in Batumi. Empire runs high-quality cash games every night from 19:00 with stakes from $5/$5 up to $100/$200. NLTH and PLO (4/5 card). Free food and drinks for players. No dress code — just bring your A-game.
If you play cash poker seriously, Empire is your spot. Stakes run $5/5 to $100/200 which is wild for a city this size. The free food and drinks aren't a gimmick — they're decent. The vibe is pure poker, no tourist nonsense.
Games fill up fast after 21:00. Arrive by 19:00–19:30 to get a seat at your preferred stake.
The most reviewed casino in Batumi on Google. Part of the Princess International chain, located inside the Wyndham hotel. 1,000 sqm gaming floor with 196 modern slot machines. Popular with tourist groups and leisure players.
Best option if you want a big, lively atmosphere without pressure. 873 Google reviews don't lie — it's consistently decent. Slot selection is excellent. Table limits are moderate. Not for serious poker players, but great for a fun evening.
If you're a slot player, this is your best option in Batumi. The jackpot machines are along the far wall.
Hotel casino inside the Radisson Blu Batumi. Convenient location in the city center with a good restaurant serving Georgian, Asian, Mediterranean, and European cuisine. Standard table games plus slots. Good choice for hotel guests who want to play without going far.
Solid mid-range option. The Radisson Blu location means it's well-maintained and the staff are professional. Not a serious poker destination but good for blackjack and roulette. The restaurant is one of the better hotel restaurants in Batumi.
Better on weeknights — weekends it fills with Radisson guests who are just curious, not serious players.
Casino inside the Sheraton Batumi Hotel on Ninoshvili Street. Convenient for hotel guests, standard table games and slots. Upscale setting typical of a Sheraton property.

The workhorse of Batumi casinos. Unpretentious, always open, genuinely affordable. Mostly electronic gaming with some live tables. Popular with locals and budget tourists.
Honest place, no pretense. Low minimum bets make it easy to stretch an evening. Don't go for the ambiance — go to play cheap.
The $1 roulette minimum is real. Good for beginners who want to learn without losing much.
