Nigeria Casinos You Can Visit
Nigeria casinos are mostly hotel casinos in Lagos and Abuja, and we could confirm six. Betway itself is an online brand with no venue of its own, so this page maps where you can play in person and when the online lobby saves you the trip.
This Betway - Land-Based Casinos hub is a guide to places run by other operators. We checked each name against hotel pages, a Hilton listing and the World Casino Directory on 6 October 2026. Tap a column heading to sort.

How we read it: "Not published" means the hotel or operator gives no hours on a page we could open. The two times shown come from a casino directory, not from the venue, so treat them as a starting point. Transcorp Hilton lists a casino on its own Hilton page, Federal Palace is marketed as a hotel with a casino, and Jacaranda sits in the Sheraton hotel in Abuja. Directory counts of machines and tables disagree from one source to the next, so we left them out.
We did not list Port Harcourt, Uyo or Calabar. Directories mention a few hotel casinos in Port Harcourt, but none had a recent, reliable confirmation, and Uyo and Calabar gave us nothing at all. If you know one that is open, call before you travel and do not rely on an old listing.

Hotel casinos in Nigeria hold a few dozen machines and a handful of tables each. The Betway Casino lobby counts 2,500+ slots and 400+ live tables, and it is open on the bus, at home or in a state where no venue exists. You can deposit from ₦100 with Paystack, Flutterwave, bank transfer, Opay, Palmpay, Quickteller, Paga or GTB *737; per-method limits are not published, so check the cashier after you log in. Our minimum deposit page goes through each option.
Withdrawals normally take up to 2 business days and go to your own bank account or to an Opay, Palmpay or Paga wallet registered to the same mobile number. Betway has no charges on withdrawals, which is a real difference from a venue where you carry cash home. New customers can also read about the welcome offer; it starts at a ₦500 first deposit. The Betway Casino homepage covers the whole lobby.
Where you live matters too. Players in Owerri have a hotel casino nearby, while someone in Enugu or Kano has no venue we could confirm. If you are in the south-east, our Betway in Imo page explains how access works in that state.
How to Choose a Venue
Start from your city
The six venues cluster in three places: Victoria Island in Lagos, central Abuja and Owerri. Traffic around Victoria Island can double a short trip, so check the route before you commit to an evening.
Match the game
Tables and slots are not on every floor. Le Meridien Eko is described as a tables venue, Green Lion as tables and poker, and the Abuja hotels as slots plus tables. Pick by the game you actually play.
Weigh the hotel
Most of these casinos sit inside hotels, so you also pay for parking, drinks and food. A hotel guest or a member of the hotel loyalty scheme may get easier entry, so ask when you call.
Confirm the hours
Only two of the six have hours in a directory and neither is official. A five-minute phone call to reception is the dependable way to learn whether the floor is open tonight and when tables start.
One more filter is budget. Land-based floors usually set table minimums that you cannot see until you arrive, while online you can stake from ₦100 and walk away at any point. If you are testing a game for the first time, the lobby is the cheaper classroom, and you can still visit a venue later for the atmosphere.
If the Visit Did Not Work Out
It happens: you arrive and the casino is shut, or the door staff turn you away. The steps below are general and we have not tied them to one venue.
- 1
The venue is closed
Ask the front desk whether the casino is closed for the night, for maintenance or for good. Hotel casinos can pause trading without notice, and directory pages are slow to update. Keep the receptionist's answer in mind before you plan the next trip.
- 2
Entry or ID refused
You need to be 18 or over, and staff may ask for a passport, driver's licence or national ID card. A photocopy or a phone photo is often not accepted. Do not argue at the door; ask what document they do accept and return with it.
- 3
Dress code problem
Hotels usually expect tidy, smart clothing, and slippers or sportswear can be turned back. None of the six publishes a dress code we could read, so ask when you phone and dress one step above what you think is needed.
- 4
Cash or chips confusion
Before you hand money over, ask how you buy chips, whether cards are taken and how winnings are paid out. Get the answer on the spot and keep any receipt. Large sums attract extra identity checks, so do not carry more cash than you plan to use.
- 5
Switch to the lobby
If the trip is lost, an evening at Betway Casino costs nothing to start. Open the casino on your phone, deposit from ₦100 and pick a table or slot. Set a stake limit first and stick to it.
Common Mistakes
- Trusting an old directory: several listings still show venues that have closed or changed hands. Cross-check a name with the hotel itself before you drive.
- Assuming Betway has a branch: Betway Nigeria is online only as far as we could verify. A shop or a casino using the Betway name needs checking against the Betway site and the licence registers.
- Leaving ID at home: the age limit is 18, and staff can ask you to prove it. A forgotten passport or licence ends the visit before it starts.
- Bringing all your cash: take the budget you set in advance, not the whole wallet. Cash is hard to track and impossible to recover if you lose it.
- Chasing losses on the way home: if the night went badly, do not open the app to recover it. Responsible gambling tools in your Betway account, such as limits and a 24-hour cooling-off, exist for that moment.
- Ignoring state rules: since the Supreme Court decision of 22 November 2024, each state licenses gaming in its own way, so what is true in Lagos may not be true in Owerri. Check the local regulator.
Licences we can state. Betway Nigeria's operator, Digi Bay Limited, holds Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority licence LSLGA/OP/OSB/BW221017 and a National Lottery Regulatory Commission casino permit. You can compare the Nigeria casinos above with the LSLGA register and the NLRC list.
Land-Based Casinos FAQ
We found no casino or betting shop operated by Betway. Betway Nigeria works online at betway.com.ng and in its mobile apps, and the venues on this page belong to hotels and other operators. For the online side, see our Betway Casino overview.
Hotel casinos in Lagos and Abuja. Federal Palace and Le Meridien Eko on Victoria Island, plus Transcorp Hilton and Jacaranda in Abuja, are the names that show up most often in hotel and casino directories.
You must be 18 or older. Carry a government-issued photo ID such as an international passport, driver's licence or national ID card. Each venue sets its own checks at the door, so ask the reception desk beforehand.
Some directories mention hotel casinos in Port Harcourt, but we could not confirm a currently operating one on an official or reputable source, so none is in the table. Uyo and Calabar returned nothing we could verify either.
Yes. Betway Casino is online, so you need only an account and a deposit. The minimum deposit is ₦100, explained in our minimum deposit guide, and the welcome offer asks for ₦500.
Yes, but by location. Since the Supreme Court ruling of 22 November 2024, lotteries and gaming are a state matter, so a Lagos venue answers to the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority, while the National Lottery Regulatory Commission covers the Federal Capital Territory. For state-level rules in the south-east, read our Betway in Imo page.
Often not. Several hotels list the casino as an amenity but give no hours, and directory times can be out of date. Phone the hotel or ask at reception on the day.
