Sebastien Leclercq, General Manager of Circus Club, which is owned by the Belgian group Ardent, will open its Parisian gaming establishment at 37-39 Boulevard Murat, in the 16th arrondissement.
The club will operate seven days a week from 6 pm to 4:30 am and will organize regular tournaments. The Ardent group says it “is already the leader in poker and poker events in northern Europe with the Casino de Namur and intends to impose its mark and its pace in Paris in the coming years.”
For the opening, 18 poker tables are planned as well as a dozen other gaming tables. Over the full year, Circus Club Paris hopes to attract 70,000 people.
A hundred people will be recruited for the gaming side of the operation, security and food and beverage.
So far, the Ministry of the Interior has authorised four gaming clubs to open in the capital. The Paris Elysées Club owned Tranchant, opened on April 26, at rue Marbeuf, in the 8th arrondissement.
L’Impérial Club, Raineau Group, will launch in December, in the Massena 13 shopping center, in the 13th arrondissement.
The opening date of the Barrière club, which will occupy the former premises of the Aviation Club de France, on the Champs-Elysees, opposite Fouquet’s, is not yet known.
Other groups should follow as soon as they have permission from the Ministry of the Interior. The Joa group already has its premises at rue Royale, while the Partouche group is expected to confirm its entry to the new Parisian market soon.
