Casino Information & Maritime Rules

Under international maritime conventions and European flag-state governance (vessels flying the Italian maritime flag), commercial gaming is prohibited inside territorial waters and while docked in ports (such as Barcelona, Valencia, or Marseille). The casino commences operations strictly after the ship departs the 12-nautical-mile baseline into international waters and suspends operations prior to port entry.

Participation in any gambling activity aboard Costa Toscana is legally restricted to adults aged 18 and older. Minors are strictly prohibited from approaching active slot machines or sitting at gaming tables. Age verification is enforced via the passenger manifest and Costa Card credentials.

Costa Toscana utilizes an advanced cashless casino interface. Guests use their personal Costa Card (which serves as their room key and onboard payment mechanism) to load credits directly into slot machines or purchase chips at gaming tables. Balances and winnings can be credited back to the guest folio or redeemed in Euros (EUR) at the casino cash desk.

On all Mediterranean sailings, the official operational currency of the Grand Casino is the Euro (EUR). Slot machine jackpots and table winnings are settled in Euro currency. Onboard promotional cruise credits provided as part of booking promotions are subject to specific promotional terms and may not always be redeemable for direct cash withdrawal.

All electronic slot machines, video poker machines, and digital roulette displays onboard are certified by accredited independent testing laboratories (such as Gaming Laboratories International - GLI) ensuring mathematically authentic, non-manipulated Random Number Generation and transparent return-to-player payout ratios.

A smart casual dress code is enforced inside the Grand Casino. Swimwear, robes, tank tops, and bare feet are not permitted in the gaming floor lounge. Guests engaging in abusive behavior toward croupiers or other patrons will be asked to leave by onboard security.
