Casino in Lagos, Nigeria: where each venue is and when it opens

Lagos casinos at a glance, September 2026

The Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA) register, updated 15 September 2026, holds 6 Category A (hotel) and 11 Category B (standalone) casino entries. Five licensed names, among them Royal Mermaid Casino, have no Google Maps listing, so the table matches register and map venue by venue.

Victoria Island and Ikoyi casinos

Federal Palace and Jacaranda VI hold Category A (hotel) entries; the other five Island venues have Category B entries. Hours are from Google Maps in September 2026 unless a card names another source.

Mainland casinos: Ikeja, Maryland and Ajao Estate

The Sheraton casino is one of three Jacaranda casinos, with the Vertigo on Victoria Island and Nicon Luxury in Abuja. Rollace and 777 Royale Jackpot are both on Awoniyi Elemo Street in Ajao Estate.

• Hot Fun at Metro Cafe (36 Isaac John Street, Ikeja GRA), Rumors Club (Oduduwa Way, Ikeja GRA) and Lagos Airport Hotel (111 Obafemi Awolowo Way).

Closed venues, Lekki and the Eko Hotel casino question

Google Maps marked Ra Casino (1c Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Victoria Island) and Oceans 7 Casino (Quest Station Building, Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1) permanently closed on 16 September 2026, and showed no other operating casino in Lekki.

None of the 17 LSLGA casino entries names Eko Hotel, so this page lists no Eko Hotel casino and no Eko Hotel casino price.

Casino in Lagos prices published in naira

Elucid, Jacaranda at the Sheraton and 9Jackpot publish these naira figures on their own sites:

Withholding tax on gaming prize money is 5% for residents and 15% for non-residents. A directive reported on 21 February 2026 tells LSLGA-licensed operators to deduct the 5% at payout and require your NIN.

LSLGA rules that apply inside a Lagos casino

LSLGA issues one-year, renewable casino licences in Category A (hotel), B (hotel premise) and C (stand-alone), though its register uses only Category A (Hotel) and Category B (Standalone). The Lagos law and its 2021 regulations set these rules for a visit:

Oyo State licenses Casino A (hotels, guest houses, inns) and Casino B (stand-alone venues), yet Google Maps showed no place in the Casino category in Ibadan on 16 September 2026; see casinos in Ibadan and Oyo State. For the FCT, read the Abuja casino guide.
