Tunisia is a country in North Africa where casinos are the only form of legalized gambling. The country currently has four casinos scattered across its cities and with Tunisia's mild climate and sandy beaches, it has become a popular holiday resort for gamblers.

The largest Tunisia casino is the Grand Pasino Djerba which is located in Djerba. Djerba is nestled between Algeria and Libya. They are open twenty four hours on a daily basis. They offer one hundred and fifty nine slot machines and video poker terminals. They also hold fourteen gaming tables that include blackjack, poker, roulette, and stud poker.

The Grand Casino Yasmine is found in Hammamet. It boasts one hundred and fifteen slot machines and video poker games and nine gaming tables. The games are blackjack, roulette, and stud poker. The casino is open daily between the hours of 8 pm and 4 am. The Grand Casino Yasmine also houses an American bar for its gamers.

The second Tunisia Casino based in Hammamet is the Casino La Medina. This casino holds one hundred slot machines and video poker games. It also has thirteen gaming tables including American roulette, blackjack, and stud poker. The Casino La Medina also offers its own Lebanese restaurant and numerous shops for the gamblers to take advantage of. The casino is open daily from 8 am to 4 pm. This may seem a strange time for a casino to be open, but it is based on a newly built complex containing various restaurants and shops for locals and tourists alike, so the company obviously felt that these opening times would maximize on their profits.
