Casinos in Norway
There are no casinos in Norway. The legal situation concerning gambling in Norway is very unusual. Many forms of gambling are permitted, including sports and horse betting along with several kinds of lottery. Live casino games, like poker and other similar games, are not allowed.

There used to be over 20,000 slot machines in Norway in place of casinos. The vast majority of these were owned by the Red Cross and other charity organizations. The gambling machines were huge profit centers for those companies. But in mid 2007 the Norwegian government ordered all slot machines be removed. The state declared a monopoly on slots and re-established this type of gambling under Norsk Tipping’s control, in the form of interactive video terminals with strict daily betting limits.

Online Casinos in Norway
Online gambling in Norway is legal, but there are no Norwegian online casinos. The two state companies authorized to provide online gambling have no such games on offer. Unless the laws change dramatically, there are not going to be any proper Norwegian websites to play online casino games at.

The Norwegian government used to turn its head when its citizens played at foreign internet casinos, but this changed later on. In December 2008 the government officially banned gambling at foreign online casinos, and has been tabling plans to block such foreign sites. The EU opposes such ban, but since Norway is not a EU member state, they can do nothing to stop it.
