Hoiana Casino

Where Hoiana Casino is and how the site is set up

Hoiana Casino sits inside the Hoiana Resort & Golf complex on Vietnam's central coast, south of Da Nang and near Hoi An. The casino describes its setting as beachfront surroundings, and the resort is built as a single integrated destination: hotel towers, a golf course, restaurants and the casino floor all share the same grounds¹. If you are staying at the resort, you can walk from your room to the tables in a few minutes.

The casino is one of the licensed casino projects in Vietnam. Under the country's rules, casinos at certain projects may admit Vietnamese citizens who meet specific conditions, and Hoiana is one of the projects where this applies³. That matters for how you plan your visit, because the entry rules are not the same for everyone.

For a wider look at how Vietnam's casino rules work across the country, including which venues admit locals and which do not, see Casinos in Vietnam: Who Can Go In. If you are comparing Hoiana with other resorts in the region, the Hoiana Resort & Golf page covers the wider complex, and The Grand Ho Tram is the other major southern Vietnam casino resort.

Entry rules: minimum age 18 and ID requirements

The minimum age to enter Hoiana Casino is 18. You need a valid passport or government-issued photo ID, and staff check it at the entrance. This is standard across the region: casinos in Singapore set entry at 21, while many other Asian venues, including Fontana Casino in Clark, set it at 18 with free entry and a valid ID⁴. Hoiana follows the 18-and-over rule.

Who can walk in depends on your passport:

• Foreign visitors and foreign residents: bring your passport, show it at the door, and you are in. Entry is free.
• Vietnamese citizens: you need a valid entry pass under the domestic player rules that apply to licensed casino projects in Vietnam³. Without it, you will not be admitted, even though you are over 18.

There is no entry fee for foreign passport holders. The practical checklist is short: passport, 18 or over, and no prohibited items. If you are a Vietnamese citizen planning a visit, sort out your entry pass before you travel, because the casino will not issue one at the door on the spot.

Table games: over 140 tables and the Baccarat range

The casino floor holds over 140 tables, making it one of the larger table floors in Vietnam¹. The game list is broad and leans heavily on baccarat, which is the dominant game across Asian casino floors.

The full table lineup includes:

• Classic Baccarat
• Hoiana Tiger Baccarat
• Dragon Tiger Baccarat
• Lucky Three Card Baccarat
• Roulette and Hoiana Roulette
• Blackjack
• Sicbo
• Hoiana Pai Gow
• Hoiana Stud Poker
• Hoiana Niu Niu
• Texas Hold 'Em Bonus Poker

Hoiana Tiger Baccarat is the casino's own branded baccarat variant, played alongside the classic version². If you have played baccarat before, the rules will feel familiar; the branding and any side bets are what set it apart. Ask a dealer or the pit manager for a quick explanation before you sit down, and watch a shoe or two first if you are new to the game.

For a deeper look at how baccarat works and where to play it in Vietnam, see Baccarat in Vietnam and Table Games at Vietnam's Casinos.

Table minimums and maximums are not published on the casino's site, so check the placard at each table before you buy in. Limits vary by pit and by time of day, and the high-limit areas will have higher minimums than the main floor.

Slots and electronic gaming machines

The casino has more than 200 slot machines¹. That is a solid floor by Vietnamese standards, though smaller than the biggest Macau rooms: Wynn Palace, for comparison, reported 598 slot machines or similar electronic gaming facilities at the end of 2024⁶. Hoiana's slot offering covers the usual mix of classic reel games and electronic gaming machines, with a range of denominations to suit different budgets.

Slot play is straightforward. You buy credits at the machine or at a cashier, play at your own pace, and cash out when you are done. If you are used to slots in Macau or Singapore, the machines will feel familiar. If you are new to them, start with the lowest denomination available and read the paytable on the machine before you insert money.

VIP rooms and premium service

Hoiana Casino runs VIP areas for higher-stakes players, in line with the rest of the resort's premium positioning. VIP rooms in Asian casinos are typically members-only or by invitation, with dedicated staff, higher table limits and more privacy than the main floor. Fontana Casino in Clark, for example, runs four VIP rooms and a Premium Player's Pit that are members only⁵.

If you are interested in VIP play at Hoiana, the practical route is to contact the casino's guest services or player development team before you arrive. They can explain what is required, what limits apply and whether your play qualifies. Do not assume you can walk into a VIP room on your first visit; ask first.

Bars and other facilities on site

The casino floor includes Một Hai Bar, which serves selected wines and spirits and shows live sports on screen². It is a convenient spot to take a break between sessions, watch a match, or meet up with your group.

Beyond the bar, the wider Hoiana Resort & Golf complex has restaurants, a golf course and hotel facilities. Other casinos in the region bundle similar conveniences: Kangwon Land Casino in South Korea, for instance, lists a restaurant, bar, shopping mall and other convenience facilities on site⁷. At Hoiana, the resort setting means you can eat, drink and stay without leaving the grounds.

Self-exclusion and family exclusion program

Hoiana Casino does not publish a detailed self-exclusion procedure on its website, but casinos in the region generally offer one. The practical step is to contact the casino directly and ask for the self-exclusion or voluntary visit limit program. You can also ask a family member to make the request on your behalf.

Across Asia, the mechanics vary. In Macao, an individual may apply to exclude himself or herself from casinos, and a spouse, ascendant, descendant or family member within the second degree of kinship by blood may also request exclusion⁸. In Singapore, self-exclusion sits alongside exclusion by law and family exclusion orders, and the process is set out step by step by the National Council on Problem Gambling¹⁰. In Japan, operators must act on requests from entrants and their families under the addiction prevention rules¹³.

If you want to self-exclude at Hoiana, call or email the casino's guest services desk and ask what documents they need. Do it before your next visit, not at the door.

Who to contact for help and information

If gambling stops being fun, help is available across the region.

For Hoiana itself, the casino's guest services desk is the first point of contact for questions about entry, games, VIP play or self-exclusion.
