About Casino da Madeira
Casino da Madeira is a casino located in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, which is part of the hotel Pestana Casino Park. It was designed in 1966, but work did not begin until six years later, and it opened in 1976.
The only casino on the island. The building's unusual shape was designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, and indeed looks a bit like Brasilia Cathedral with a haircut. Casino da Madeira offers table games such as Texas Hold 'em, blackjack, baccarat and American roulette (with 0 and 00) and slots. Outside of gambling there is the Palm bar, the Rio casual restaurant, the formal Bahlia restaurant and the Copacabana nightclub that hosts live musical performances (just like the Barry Manilow song). Note that the premises have dress code that forbids sandals, flip-flops and sports wear. Free parking and Wi-Fi for patrons.
