Casino Helsinki spans two levels with approximately 2,600 square meters of gaming space. Games are conducted transparently in both Finnish and English.

Dedicated Poker Room

Casino Helsinki hosts regular Texas Hold'em and Omaha cash games, as well as the annual Helsinki Freezeout and Midnight Sun poker championships, attracting elite Nordic card players.

3. Dining, Dress Code & Surrounding Nightlife

Dress Code: The venue enforces a smart casual standard. Well-groomed casual attire, jackets, smart shirts, and neat trainers are welcome. Athletic gym gear, beachwear, and work overalls will be turned away.

Fennia Salon & Bar Casino: In addition to gaming, the complex houses Fennia Salon—an historic entertainment auditorium offering dinner shows, tribute bands, and comedy—and a high-definition sports bar broadcasting international athletic leagues.

Surrounding Bars: When wrapping up your evening, the surrounding Kluuvi and Kamppi districts boast celebrated cocktail bars, including Kämp Bar, Ateljee Bar atop Solo Sokos Torni, and Trillby & Chadwick speakeasy near Senate Square.

Responsible Entertainment & Support

Casino entertainment is intended purely for leisure and should never be viewed as a means of generating income. Guests can establish self-exclusion periods or daily table loss limits at the casino desk at any time.
