Friday the 13th: for 13 minutes, they're going to gamble with the casino's money!

Friday the 13th is the luckiest day of the year, and this year there will only be one in June. To celebrate this unique date, Casino Barrière is offering a truly spectacular and completely new promotion to give its customers an “intense Friday the 13th” experience.

From May 28 to June 13, a big prize draw will give every visitor the chance to win lots of prizes every day. And the highlight of the show will be when three lucky winners are drawn on the evening of the 13th, each winning a unique prize: 13 minutes of play on a slot machine... courtesy of the casino*.

Every Friday the 13th is a day that attracts regulars and occasional visitors to the casino, as well as many curious people who come to try their luck on that day. In fact, attendance, bets, and jackpot winnings are 30 to 40% higher on that day than on a similar day.

For the only Friday the 13th of the year, Barrière Casinos have decided to offer their customers a truly exceptional experience.

A finger presses a "Start" button. Below, a person looks intently. Text reads "Vendredi 13 Intense" with slot machine lights in the background.

An “intense Friday the 13th” and an “exceptional 13”

From May 28 to June 13, every day visitors to Barrière Casinos will be able to play and try to line up the symbols on the dedicated gaming terminal. There are lots of prizes to be won: free drinks, game tickets worth $5, $10 or even $20. Each time they participate, they will receive at least one ticket for the Friday the 13th draw, to be placed in the box provided for this purpose. Customers who are members of the loyalty program or have the Barrière Play app will receive additional tickets. On Friday 13 June in the evening, three lucky winners will be drawn at 8:13 p.m., 10:13 p.m. and midnight. They will win a truly unique experience: 13 minutes of instant play on a slot machine, with casino money!

Please note that the terminal game and the draw will be available all evening, so customers can try to win their ticket for this magical moment until the last draw of the evening.

The equation: 3 players drawn at random, 13 minutes or 780 seconds, 2 to 3 seconds per spin, meaning potentially more than 300 chances to win a jackpot. Who will be the lucky winners, what will their strategy be, how much will they win... All these questions will be answered on the evening of Friday, June 13, 2025.

A moment of celebration and suspense where nothing will be left to chance.

To celebrate this exceptional day, Casinos Barrière will set up a dedicated area and stage. The slot machines on which the randomly selected customer will be able to play will be specially highlighted, and a timer will allow everyone to follow the progress of their 13 minutes of play live. For the occasion, the casino will provide two fun and modern slot machines. The casinos chose Zorro machines to offer a consistent experience throughout France and to meet customer expectations in terms of mechanics and gaming experience.
