Casino de Dinard, Casino and theatre in Dinard, France
The Casino de Dinard is a gaming and entertainment venue located on the Breton coastline in France. The building with classical French architecture sits on Boulevard Wilson and offers guests 130 slot machines along with traditional table games such as English Roulette and Blackjack.
The first casino on this site, built for the resort's Belle Époque clientele, was replaced by the present building designed by the architect Alexandre Angier, which opened in 1911. Its gaming rooms and theatre made it the social centre of Dinard's summer season, drawing Parisian and British visitors who came for the races and the sea baths.
The casino's theatre hosts the annual Dinard Comedy Film Festival, founded in 1990, when British and American films are shown and the public votes for its Hitchcock-style trophy. The hall also stages concerts and shows outside the festival season.
The venue is easily accessible from Boulevard Wilson and has multiple entrances for different areas. The facilities operate throughout the week, though visitors should check if there are specific requirements for access to different gaming sections.
The casino stands on the site of the former Grand Hôtel de la Plage, and its theatre hall, the Palais des Arts et Festivals, was added in 1957. The gaming rooms face the bay of Saint-Malo, so players look out on the sea between hands.
