The “Shangri La” (Moscow) cultural and entertainment centre is considered to be one of the best in Europe. It is located in the Pushkinskaya Square – in the business and cultural centre of the capital – and since it was opened in June 1999, it has been the most visited and fashionable gaming institution of Moscow.
The “Shangri La” casino consists of three gaming floors: the main floor, the “Macao” floor in oriental style and the “X.O.” VIP floor; a poker club and, besides all that, two restaurants and four bars.
The excellent service and the large scope of services provided, complying with high standards of the best casinos in the world, as well as the friendly atmosphere of “Shangri La” contribute to the continuous growth of its popularity.
“Shangri La” became the first Russian cultural and entertainment centre which is not inferior to its American equivalents in interior, service and scope of services provided. And it was here that for the first time in Russia the drawing with the prize fund equal to $1 000 000 took place – now it is the most renowned “Lemon” which is held twice a year.
After the main “Shangri La” floor was open (1999), there appeared an idea to set up “a casino inside the casino”, i.e. to combine three absolutely different, independent gaming floors in one and the same building. Thus a Chinese gaming floor “Macao”, a special club for poker amateurs and an elite VIP floor with a multi-level structure providing complete autonomy to each gaming table were set up. The new system “a casino inside the casino” was immediately appreciated by visitors as one may get a whole complex of services in the same institution and to change the scene if they wish. In the casino structure there are 42 gaming tables and 202 slot machines.
