The show program at Casino Ruhl will offer rich and varied line-ups in 2007 to the many spectators. There will be something for everyone. First, for those who enjoy laughing, Arthur, Titoff, Maxime, and Anne Roumanoff will perform on the stage of the Casino Ruhl Lucien Barrière as well as the two plays Le Carton and Des soucis et des Potes. Aesthetics will also be present with the Phil Keller Magic Show, Les West Lovers (Chippendales reserved exclusively for women), fashion shows, and an exhibition of Venetian costumes and masks. The 7th Fortune Telling Fair will be held at the beginning of January.
This program will be inaugurated on December 9th with a charity day around the Téléthon and on December 14th by the ballets of the Alpes-Maritimes. With the show “1, Promenade” every Friday and Saturday, the casino offers more than 110 show dates.
Other figures:
– 1 million entries from November 1, 2005, to October 31, 2006
– 70% market share in the Nice basin
– 20% market share in the Alpes-Maritimes
– 240 collaborators
– 3 activities: catering, shows, and gaming
The new regulation as of November 1 requires visitors to present an identity card at the entrance. This measure was aimed at excluding those banned from gaming and minors. A few weeks later, by the admission of Jean-Charles Pitt, General Director of the Casino, 5 to 10% arrive without identification. The other novelty is more visible. Now, there is no longer a separation between the slot machine room and the table games room, accessible without an entrance fee.
