Gambling is legal in France but there are many restrictions in order to operate a casino. It ☀️ is controlled exclusively by Le Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) and Le Pari Mutuel Hippodrome (PMH). There are approximately eight legalized ☀️ casinos in central Paris.
Casinos are allowed only in specific areas in France, subject to a licence by the Ministry of Home ☀️ Affairs and placed under the authority of that ministry and that of the Ministry of the Budget.
