World Record Unconfirmed for Most Casino Visits in 24 Hours

World Record Unconfirmed for Most Casino Visits in 24 Hours

- Two people from the Netherlands have potentially set a new record for the number of casinos gambled in — 110 — during a 24-hour period

- The Guinness Book of World Records is evaluating their claim

- The current record, set in 2017, is 74 casinos in 24 hours

Armijn Meijer, a past European blackjack champion, along with Dominique van der Geer, might have established a new world record for the most casinos played at in 24 hours last week. Nonetheless, the Guinness Book of World Records is currently assessing their application and could take a few months to make a decision. 

The pair from the Netherlands accomplished 110 casino visits in a journey that started at Harrah’s in Laughlin, Nev. at 2 a.m. on February 5, after which they helicoptered to Primm and then traveled by SUV to casinos on the Strip and Fremont Street. 

They engaged in board games whenever they could. Nonetheless, after COVID, numerous smaller casinos shut down their table games, resulting in just 70 choices on their map. Alternatively, they placed $5 into a single slot or video roulette machine at every casino. 

They stated that they won back $600 of the $1,100 they wagered. 

Not for Publication 

While other sources claimed the Guinness record for themselves, Casino.org got this reply from the Guinness team: “We’ve gotten an application and anticipate receiving evidence for review ... We evaluate all submissions within 12-15 weeks and inform them if they’ve set a record!” 

Until that time, the official record remains at 74 casinos. It was established on October 19-20, 2017, by Americans Kimo Ah Yun and Gary Meyer. The duo surpassed the initial record in this category, 69, established by Jack Freeman and his son, Jeremy Freeman, from Aug. 27-28, 2007. 

In October 2023, John and Kristina Mehaffey from Las Vegas believed they had set a record by betting at 93 casinos in Las Vegas. Guinness rejected their application since they played only slot machines and not table games. 

There is no stipulation from Guinness that this record must be broken by teams. Nevertheless, it’s more enjoyable that way and is less expensive — at least if the applicants are not funded. 

“Say something nice,” van der Geer said to Meijer after they quit their attempt with three hours left on the clock.

“I’m speechless,” he replied.
