During my recent visit to Barcelona, I had the opportunity to explore Casino Barcelona, a popular destination for those seeking a thrilling gambling experience. Located near Platja de la Nova Icària, the casino offers two distinct levels, each catering to different gaming preferences.

Before entering the casino, it is important to note that a passport is required as mandated by Spanish regulations. After the registration, the staff will provide a paper pass that allows for multiple entries throughout the day, ensuring convenience for visitors who may wish to go in and out. Additionally, it is necessary to register each day you visit the casino, adhering to the casino's policies.

The lower level, known as the beach floor, is where the live table games are located. Operating from 2 PM to 5 AM, this section offers an exciting array of table games for enthusiasts. During my visit, which took place on a Saturday afternoon, the casino was not crowded, allowing for a comfortable and relaxed gaming experience. The minimum bet for blackjack was 20 euros, providing options for both seasoned players and those looking to try their luck.

On the upper level, referred to as the street level, the gaming area is primarily composed of machines. Open from 9 AM to 5 AM on Sunday through Thursday, with extended hours until 6 AM on Fridays, Saturdays, and holiday eves; this section caters to those who prefer machine-based gaming. The absence of traditional chips is noteworthy, as bets are placed directly using the machines. There are 5 euro tables available on this level, with live dealers providing an interactive gaming experience.

While exploring the upper level, I discovered a variety of gaming options, including poker, Pi-kow, and roulette. However, it's important to note that Casino Barcelona does not offer a craps table, which may be a disappointment for enthusiasts of that particular game.
