Hotel + Casino: Integration and Technology Consulting
Opening a casino or slot machine hall in a hotel is not simply a matter of renting space; it involves the complex integration of two distinct business models with conflicting requirements regarding security, logistics, and guest psychology.
ArtBuild Hospitality acts as a specialized technology provider and consultant that prepares a hotel property for the launch of a gaming zone.
We know how to create an infrastructure where the hotel and casino reinforce each other, generating a powerful synergy that boosts the owner’s profits.
Dual-Purpose Design: Hotel + Casino
Our goal is to resolve the conflict between the tranquility and security of the hotel and the excitement of the casino right from the planning stage.
We address critical issues:
- Architectural integration: how to integrate the gaming facility into the existing building structure, taking into account strict licensing requirements regarding space, security, etc.?
- Traffic flow management: how to separate the flows of the hotel’s target audience and casino visitors?
- Acoustic and visual comfort: designing enhanced soundproofing and ventilation systems to ensure that the excitement and cigarette smoke remain within the gaming area;
- Format and class: what type of establishment (casino, slot hall, betting) matches your hotel’s star rating and the profile of its guests?
- Legal security: How should you draft a lease agreement with the casino operator to protect the hotel’s reputation and property?
Legislative and Industry Expertise
Our expertise extends beyond zoning and planning of gaming areas; we have a deep understanding of Ukraine’s legal framework in this sector.
Oleksii Ievchenko, Managing Partner at ArtBuild Hospitality:
- served on the Advisory and Expert Council of the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries (CRGL);
- has been directly involved in drafting the bill on the legalization of the gaming business in Ukraine (since 2016);
- served for a long time as vice president of the Ukrainian Gaming Industry Association.
This experience allows us to create gaming zones that are guaranteed to pass certification and obtain a license.
In 2019, ArtBuild served as a consultant for the organization of the large-scale Dunaya gaming zone (Odesa region), the concept of which was approved at the highest state level.
Hotel Categorization as a Licensing Requirement
Under Ukrainian law, casinos may only be opened in 4- or 5-star hotels (depending on the region and type of license), while slot machine halls may be opened in hotels rated 3 stars or higher. A gambling business license will not be issued without official confirmation of the hotel’s category.
ArtBuild Hospitality specialists conduct audits and provide support for national categorization:
- verifying the hotel’s compliance with state standards (DSTU);
- developing a plan for technical improvements to achieve the required number of stars;
- supporting the process of obtaining a certificate of category classification.
Proper integration of the gaming area is a balance between hotel comfort and casino requirements, which demands precision. We ensure full technical compliance of the facility with licensing requirements as early as the design stage. With ArtBuild Hospitality, you are guaranteed that two different businesses will become a single profitable mechanism, rather than a source of problems for the owner.
