The Crown Casino and Resort was founded by King Random, in AP 4,500 about five years after he was crowned and returned to Amber. It’s now been in operation for just over a decade. With the advent of steampunk technology in Amber, he decided it was time to build a new resort and meeting place, to increase business into Amber from the Golden Circle.

The Crown Casino and Resort complex is located on the coast to the east of the AAC airship dock. It comprises the Crown Hotel complex, which includes a full spa; the Crown Casino; and the Crown Pavilion, which includes a restaurant, a café, a bar, a larger theatre than the one in the Casino; rooms of various sizes that can be hired for meetings; and a Concierge Desk, where customers can book tickets for performances, tours and excursions.

The Crown Casino

The gaming hall is on two levels, with the gaming floor on the ground level, and a balcony which looks down in the floor, and also has a number of smaller, private gaming tables which can be hired for private parties. The atrium and theatre are double height.

The dress code is formal, which could be: late-Victorian to Edwardian, more modern dinner suits or uniforms.
