Farewell to Casino Cosmopol Stockholm: The End of an Era in Swedish Gaming

After more than two decades of offering world-class gaming and unforgettable experiences, Casino Cosmopol has officially closed its doors in Stockholm. The announcement follows a decision by the Swedish Parliament to dissolve the country's state-owned casino operations, marking the end of an iconic chapter in Scandinavian gaming history.

Casino Cosmopol, a subsidiary of the state-owned Svenska Spel, was established in 1999 with the mission to bring regulated, high-quality casino entertainment to Sweden. Over the years, it opened four casinos across the country—in Sundsvall, Malmö, Gothenburg, and Stockholm. Stockholm, which opened in 2003, quickly became a flagship location, attracting both local and international guests with its elegant atmosphere, poker tournaments, and vibrant community.

On April 24, 2025, Svenska Spel received new ownership instructions from the government in line with Parliament’s resolution, triggering the closure of Casino Cosmopol Stockholm effective April 25. This move comes as part of a broader shift in Sweden’s gaming policy, transitioning away from publicly operated casino venues.

Casino Cosmopol was more than just a casino—it was a hub for entertainment, camaraderie, and global poker culture. As the last remaining location in the network, Stockholm’s closure signals the final curtain for a brand that has shaped Sweden’s casino scene for over 20 years.
