Casinos Austria International

What Casinos Austria International does

Casinos Austria International (CAI), founded in 1977, is the international business unit of the Casinos Austria Group and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Casinos Austria AG. The company develops, manages, and consults on casino and gaming operations across 8 countries (Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, Hungary, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, and Switzerland), running more than a dozen casino properties including The Reef Hotel Casino (Cairns), Grand Casino Brussels VIAGE, four Danish casinos (Copenhagen, Marienlyst, Munkebjerg Vejle, Odense, plus Vesterport), Casino Semiramis (Cairo), Casino Schaanwald, Casino Sopron, Casinò Lugano, and the National Videolottery of North Macedonia.

The core technology stack consists of physical gaming equipment—slot machines, live gaming tables, video lottery terminals (VLTs), and TouchBet Roulette terminals—supplemented by online gaming platforms such as win2day (the only legally permitted online gaming platform in Austria, operated by Group affiliate Austrian Lotteries) and 2win.mk (in North Macedonia). The North Macedonia operation is the single largest asset by unit count, with 800+ VLT locations and 4,500+ terminals. The Group also extends the offering into sports betting (tipp3), lottery products (~5,100 retail outlets), and WINWIN VLT venues in Austria.

Revenue is generated through gaming transaction economics (house edge built into games, terminal play, jackpots) and complementary hospitality services (restaurants, bars, event venues, hotel accommodations). Customer segments are predominantly tourists and gaming enthusiasts at the consumer level, plus national authorities and private investors at the B2B level who license CAI's development and management expertise. The company's headquarters is in Vienna, with the holding entity employing approximately 116 staff at HQ level and operating under Austrian regulatory oversight (Federal Ministry of Finance).
