King's Casino has signed a purchase agreement for a Bell 407GX, the first helicopter of this type to be sold into the Czech Republic.

King's Casino offers a variety of casino games and is home to Europe's largest poker room. The casino is headquartered at Rozvadov, close to the border with Germany, and the Bell 407GX will be used for vip and corporate charters across these regions.

“Our choice was easy when deciding on the Bell 407GX”, said president Leon Tsoukernik. “I have flown Bell helicopters in the past, and the exceptional performance and service in Europe have made me a loyal customer.”

The model is the latest arrival on the Bell 407 platform, which has been praised for its performance and reliability. It features the Garmin G1000H flight deck, providing critical flight information at a glance for greater situational awareness and increased safety.

The flight deck's high resolution screens host primary flight and multi-function display information, including helicopter terrain avoid-ance warning system, helicopter synthetic vision technology and traffic information systems. Additionally, it is equipped with a tail rotor camera, allowing the pilot a clear view of the tail during take-offs and landings.
