Old Casino

Pakistan / Sind / Karachi / Shahrah-e-Firdausi

This building was a casino in the heydays of Karachi but was shut down for obvious reasons and was later bought by Dolmen Builders. I think it currently houses Sinbads - the big video game arcade owned by Dolmen Builders.

  • Yeah this Casino was created/developed by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, for his "Extra Islamic Activities". It was later shut down by General Zia-ul-Haq's govt.
  • There is no more this land mark of Karachi.like this building Karachi also lost rock of paradise point too.we people love to change names of the old buildings and roads.IN OUR CHILNDHOOD KARACHI WAS VIBRANT CITY AND NOW ???? CASINO OR NO CASINO BUT THIS BUILDING SHOUD NOT BE DEMOLISHED.AH KARACHI YOUR OLD DAYS.
  • It was built to be a Casino but never was completed as Z.A.Bhutto govt was toppled by his trusted General Zia. Thanks to his idea that what Pakistan is facing today, my heart bleeds.
  • Perhaps the Casino and Bhutto would have been better for Karachi.
