Location in Batumi

Batumi has emerged as a major gaming tourism destination, often called the "Las Vegas of the Black Sea," due to its concentration of casinos, liberal gambling regulations, and tourist-friendly environment. Casino Adjara Resort is one of the largest and most established properties in this growing market, benefiting from direct flights from Turkey, Israel, Russia, and European cities.

1995 — Foundation

Casino Adjara was founded in 1995 in Batumi, Georgia, during the early post-Soviet era when Georgia emerged as a regional gaming destination. The casino was established by Storm International, a gaming group with roots in Russia and the CIS, founded by Darren Keane.

1995-2005 — Early Growth

Casino Adjara grew during Batumi's emergence as a tourism and gaming destination, benefiting from Georgia's liberal gambling regulations and the city's popularity with tourists from Turkey, Russia, and other CIS countries. The casino established itself as one of the largest gaming properties in the region.

2005-2015 — Resort Expansion

Casino Adjara expanded its property to include hotel accommodations, restaurants, and entertainment venues, transforming from a standalone casino into a full integrated resort. The expansion positioned the property to capture the growing tourism market in Batumi.

2018 — Georgian Regulatory Reform

Georgia passed new gambling regulations in 2018, introducing licensing requirements, tax changes, and advertising restrictions. Casino Adjara adapted to the new regulatory framework, maintaining its license from the Georgian Revenue Service and strengthening compliance practices.

2018-2024 — Batumi Gaming Boom

Batumi experienced a significant gaming tourism boom from 2018-2024, with new casino openings and increased tourist arrivals. Casino Adjara maintained its position as one of the largest and most established properties, benefiting from its prime location, established brand, and Storm International's operational expertise.

2020-2022 — COVID-19 Impact & Recovery

Like all land-based casinos, Casino Adjara faced temporary closures and reduced capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The casino recovered strongly post-pandemic as international tourism resumed, with particular strength in visitors from Turkey, Israel, and Russia.

Casino Adjara Resort is committed to responsible gambling in compliance with Georgian regulations and Storm International's group standards, with a focus on age verification, self-exclusion, and staff training.
