In the Attica region of Greece, two integrated resorts are scheduled to begin operating from 2028. The upcoming launch of the Elliniko Hard Rock project and the Voria development in Marousi marks the end of the traditional casino model in the area, which previously functioned almost exclusively as a gaming-focused venue.
In its place, a new entertainment model is emerging where gambling forms part of a broader experience. Attica is set to establish itself as a regional gaming hub in Southeast Europe.
In Elliniko near Athens, the integrated resort project includes a Hard Rock Casino and a wider resort complex being developed by GEK Terna, with a budget of €1.8bn.
The resort will feature 1,100 guestrooms, a casino with 180 tables and 1,500 machines. Furthermore, it will include a 3,000-seat Hard Rock Live theatre, spa facilities, dining venues, retail space and convention areas.
According to Hard Rock, this complex will be the first integrated resort of its kind in continental Europe.
Project Voria is being developed by North Star Entertainment. The total investment exceeds €380m, with full operation targeted for May 2028. The project will combine hospitality, entertainment, dining, culture and a casino.
Meanwhile, the Greek Gaming Commission (EEEP) is entering a phase of organisational transformation, investing in modern project management practices to speed up implementation and improve resource efficiency.
The EEEP has also recently alerted local operators to the upcoming EU anti-money laundering framework and is supporting preparations through meetings, presentations and workshops.
In 2025, Greek land-based casinos reported GGR of €268m, up around 6% compared with 2024
