About us
Pure entertainment.
We offer, quite simply, superlative entertainment. For us that means excitement and enjoyment combined with friendly hospitality. Our guests appreciate the casino as a stimulating and sociable venue with a congenial, cheerful atmosphere.
We bring people together in the game.
Gambling is our passion. We live it with commitment and infectious enthusiasm, both in and around our casinos, where the superlative entertainment and exclusive offers available go beyond the games themselves. We can only do this by constantly striving to be innovative and break new ground. Just like we’ve always done.
We’re all about people.
We treat our employees with fairness and respect. We want them to be involved in making decisions and setting strategies. After all, they’re the ones who have to put them into practice. Which makes each and every employee a building block of our success.
Our support for others
In Switzerland, we enjoy excellent public services and a stable political system. The country also offers a vibrant culture and great diversity of recreational activities. High quality of life is very important to Swiss Casinos. That’s why we support cultural and social organizations working to promote societal cohesion. We do so through financial contributions and personal commitment.
And not just in Switzerland. A good example is “Glück für Togo” (“Happy Togo”). This nonprofit association strives to improve living standards in West Africa by supporting sustainable farming and cultural exchange in the region, thus creating a “happy Togo”.

License applications submitted
For the new licensing period beginning January 1, 2025, the Swiss Casinos Group submitted five license applications and one license extension application for its online casino to the Swiss Federal Gaming Board (SFGB). The SFGB will now inspect all submitted applications. Swiss Casino will receive notice on the Federal Council’s decision in October 2023.
Player protection inside and outside the casino
With the Introductory Act of the Federal Gambling Act (EG BGS), slot machines within restaurants will once again be authorized within the canton of Zurich. Swiss Casinos’ Chairman of the Board Hans-Ulrich Rihs and CEO Marc Baumann take a stand on the issue.
We operate responsibly.
We understand the risks involved in gambling and take our responsibilities in this regard very seriously. Not because the law says so, but because it’s the right thing to do and is in our own interest.
Protective measures are enshrined in our social concept to ensure the safeguarding and early recognition of guests at risk of developing a gambling addiction, the training and continuing professional development of those employees responsible for protecting players, and the collection of data on gambling addiction.
Swiss Casinos is a wholly Swiss-owned business.
We operate in Switzerland only and are bound by our values. We have played an active role in shaping the Swiss gambling and casino market. Social and economic competence, a pioneering spirit and sector-specific experience are the cornerstones of our success.
Swiss Casinos Holding is the sole shareholder in the Pfäffikon, Schaffhausen and Zurich casinos, and holds a majority (98%) stake in the St. Gallen casino. The Restaurant GEORGE Bar&Grill, located in the penthouse of the hallowed Haus Ober in Zurich, is run by Selnau Gastro AG.
