Casinos in France
Of all Europe, France sits at the top, alongside Germany and the UK, for the number of traditional brick & mortar casinos currently in operation. It is a gambling country, and casinos have been around for centuries. There are dozens of casinos in France, mostly in Paris, but they can be found in several other cities as well.

France has contributed many things to the gambling world. The games of Roulette and Blackjack both have their origins in France. More significantly, the 'standard' 52-card deck that is used in all casinos has a French design – these cards can be found in both French casinos and casinos around the world.

Online Casinos in France
Online casinos in France were fully legalized in June and the internet gambling market there is now regulated as well. The revamped French gambling laws created an immediate spike in players and online casinos are more popular than ever before in France. The government plans to offer more licenses to gaming providers soon.

French players wishing to play at online French casinos now have a great number of choices, with dozens of international casinos hosted in other countries accepting French players. Most every reputable internet casino today has services in the French language, and nearly all of them accept Euros as payment. And under the new law, French online casinos may cater specifically to players in France.
