Interblock, luxury gaming manufacturer and electronic table game (ETG) market leader, has announced the installation of Stadium set up within Grand Casino Bucharest, located inside JW Marriott Grand Hotel Bucharest in the heart of Bucharest.
“Grand Casino at JW Marriott Romania is taking the Roulette and Blackjack games to a future level by introducing the Diamond play stations with the Golden Ball Roulette wheel and Universal Cabinets, Luxury Gaming products by Interblock to our customers. Roulette and Blackjack games are by far the most popular games in Romania, reason why our customers are privileged to play using the best and most innovative technology by Interblock for a truly live gaming experience,” Sebastian Tudorici, General Manager of Diamond Casinos International, said.
Performance results from Platinum Casino in Bucharest have encouraged property management to add additional Interblock products to their casino floor in Grand Casino Bucharest. The unique blend of ETGs consists of 21 Diamond play stations and features SA Diamond Golden Ball Automated Roulette, connection to Live Roulette, adding Universal Cabinet with Blackjack and Roulette game.
“After many years of excellent performance of Interblock Organic Stadium, the Grand Casino Bucharest decided to offer the players something more. The entire installation of 21 G4 Organic play stations has been replaced by the Interblock Diamond G5, which also allows you to play multiple games at the same time. The decision was also helped by the fact that a similar concept was more than well received at the nearby Platinum Casino in Bucharest. In addition to that, the first ever Universal Cabinets in Romania were also installed in Grand Casino Bucharest, two units of Universal Cabinet Blackjacks and another two Universal Cabinet Roulettes. Special thanks go to our partner and friend Mr. Sebastian Tudorici, General Manager of Diamond Casinos International,” Klemen Sitar, Regional Sales Manager at Interblock Europe, said.
Grand Casino Bucharest is the first property in Romania to install the company’s award-winning Universal Cabinet. The Universal Cabinet product line is one of Interblock’s latest breakthrough form-factors offering an entirely new way for players to interact with their favorite table games – elevating the experience for all, from the novice player to the expert. This unique cabinet supports six different table games including Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, Baccarat, Sic Bo and Big Six – an innovative spin on a casino table game classic. The Universal Cabinet provides an independent gameplay experience by allowing players to set the pace of their own individualised game. It consists of visually enticing game displays–a crisp 5G screen and fun, 3-dimentional game toppers–which include a roulette wheel, bubble craps generator or a horizontal video Player Information Display (PID) displaying results.

Romania Bans Gambling Venues in Small Towns and Villages
Romania has announced a ban on gambling venues in small towns and villages with populations of less than 15,000 residents.
What’s known as the “law of slot machines” was passed by deputies in the lower house of parliament. “It is the first law adopted in Parliament in 30 years against this mafia that has controlled the political world until now,” said Alfred Simonis, the leader of the Social Democrats.
“Right now we are fighting an industry that has a total turnover of €10-12 billion.”
Industry figures complain they were not consulted, and hope that the authorities will control the black market as they promised.
Despite the unanimous vote, there was some dissent within the chamber. Two opposition parties that want to ban the “scourge” of gambling outright accuse the government of collusion with the gaming sector for not taking a stronger position.
On another front Ionut Mosteanu, the leader of the opposition USR, questioned how lawmakers had set the threshold.
“They thought that slot machines only damage 15,000 people,” he said. “There was not even a debate to see how many townships qualify for this 15,000. Why not 16, 17, why not two million and you would ban them definitively?”
Gambling venues have become ubiquitous across Romania over the last few decades. The National Gaming Office, the state body that monitors and approves the sector, has registered 12,000 sports betting, bingo, casino, lottery rooms.
The state collects taxes from gambling venue licenses and online ticket sales as from the amount betting houses spend on advertising.
There are no recent data to indicate how many people in Romania are addicted to gambling. The last survey was conducted in 2016, and found that there could be around 100,000 addicted people across the country. The number today could be much higher.
