Casino Grand Sharm was the one recommended to us. Everyone we spoke to (egyptians) said it was the fairest, although there are 3/4 in total in sharm i think.

Half of the slots are in italian and the other half in english (u get groups of english and italians in on excursions).

Don't be afraid to stand around the outside and watch whats going on to get a feeling for the games (they have poker, blackjack and roulette tables).

Take only what you're prepared to spend and take your passport as they sometimes ask to see this as you're going in.

As it's a muslim country, it's technically illegal to gamble but the casinos are classed as international terrotories or something. For this reason YOU CANNOT EXCHANGE egyptian pounds for chips. We made this mistake by changing £150 into egyptian ready to change into chips (hence getting stung for two lots of charges) we had to go into sharm to change back into Dollars - nightmare.

You can change either sterling, euros or dollars into chips.

It's a good laugh, dont expect to win anything and just take with you what you're prepared to lose...

There was a casino and quite big at the sonesta beach resort hotel in sharm when we went. We didnt venture in, but there were plenty every night that did.

Many thanks for your replies can you tell me the dress code for the casinos

Long trousers - i went in Jeans, t shirts and trainers and had no trouble

Watch out for the Egyptian vocalist singing "show me the way to amarillo"

Too funny

Many thanks we will definatly give it a go.

Off to Hilton Fayrouz on 24th June for the second time and wonder if anyone has been to the casino outside naama bay.

I have looked at the website, but it not great.

Would appreciate any info from members that have been include what was the food and the entertainment like.

We are not gamblers for the betting would just be for a giggle.

Thanks in advance

Hi has anyone been to the casinos in Sharm??
My husband wants to go and was wondering about dress codes etc. Also is there an age limit to get in as our son is 11?? I dont expect him to take part but not sure if he would be allowed in.
