Kurt Steger, Casino Direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
The “youngest” of <strong>the</strong> 12 <strong>Austria</strong>n casinos offers<br />
far more than just exciting gaming entertainment.<br />
Casino Innsbruck first opened in 1992<br />
and in <strong>the</strong> meantime has become a hot tip on<br />
<strong>the</strong> Tyrolean comedy scene, with a calendar of<br />
cultural events that reads like a “Who’s Who” of<br />
<strong>Austria</strong>n comedians and satirists. The contemporary<br />
interior of <strong>the</strong> casino combines exquisite<br />
green s<strong>to</strong>ne, glass and brass elements with<br />
clever lighting effects, including a fully electronic<br />
LED system both on <strong>the</strong> gaming tables and <strong>the</strong><br />
Roulette wheels <strong>to</strong> effortlessly change <strong>the</strong> mood.<br />
The monumental wall painting by <strong>the</strong> renowned<br />
Tyrolean artist Max Weiler in <strong>the</strong> main gaming<br />
area adds a fur<strong>the</strong>r vibrant splash of color.<br />
“In <strong>the</strong> spring, we successfully completed <strong>the</strong> innovative<br />
redesign of our popular Casineum event<br />
room, giving it a <strong>to</strong>tally new look and equipping<br />
it with <strong>the</strong> very latest in technology. These changes<br />
have gone down very well with our guests, who<br />
have clearly taken <strong>to</strong> our event philosophy,” reports<br />
a delighted Casino Direc<strong>to</strong>r Kurt Steger.<br />
“We’re also particularly proud of our new terrace,<br />
which is real gem. And we have modernized our<br />
Jackpot Casino <strong>to</strong>o!”<br />
Casino Kitzbühel is situated in one of <strong>the</strong> most<br />
attractive buildings in <strong>to</strong>wn, <strong>the</strong> Hotel Goldener<br />
Greif, a his<strong>to</strong>ric family-owned building built in<br />
1274. The cosmopolitan Alpine <strong>to</strong>wn hits <strong>the</strong> media<br />
spotlight each year when it hosts <strong>the</strong> Hahnenkamm<br />
Alpine Ski Race – just one of <strong>the</strong> many attractions<br />
that have made Kitzbühel a destination<br />
of choice for celebrities and VIPs from all over <strong>the</strong><br />
world. The <strong>to</strong>wn’s popular casino is <strong>the</strong> perfect<br />
place <strong>to</strong> get away from it all for a few hours and<br />
enjoy a fun evening of entertainment away from<br />
<strong>the</strong> flashlights.<br />
“Both table gaming and slot machine revenues<br />
at Casino Kitzbühel in 2008 were by far <strong>the</strong> highest<br />
ever achieved in <strong>the</strong> casino’s 75-year his<strong>to</strong>ry,”<br />
says Casino Direc<strong>to</strong>r Hannes Huber delightedly.<br />
“The enormous efforts we have put in<strong>to</strong> establishing<br />
Casino Kitzbühel as a year-round operation are<br />
proving very successful. Absolute highlights in <strong>the</strong><br />
2008 event calendar were <strong>the</strong> ‘Racers Night’ party<br />
organized for <strong>the</strong> Hahnenkamm Alpine Ski Race<br />
and <strong>the</strong> gala evenings held during <strong>the</strong> Triathlon<br />
<strong>World</strong> Cup and <strong>the</strong> Tour of Germany. Given <strong>the</strong> success<br />
of <strong>the</strong>se and o<strong>the</strong>r events, <strong>the</strong> casino will be a<br />
talking point for many years <strong>to</strong> come.”<br />
