Casino is a Norwegian game show hosted by Hallvard Flatland. It aired on TVNorge running from 1989 to 1996.[1]
Hallvard Flatland presented the program from 1989 to 1993.[2] Flatland was accompanied by former model, who awarded prizes. Dressing elegantly, smiling, hugging, but never saying anything, she gave rise to the concept "Tause Birgitte" (Silent Birgitte).[1]
Flatland's successor as presenter was Leif Erik Forberg.[1] From 1993 the female hostess varied frequently, picked "from the street". Hostesses included later musician Lene Nystrøm and actress Janne Formoe.[3]
Casino was revived on the channel TV3 Norway, where it aired 2003–2004, and again hosted by Flatland.[2] He was accompanied by hostess Katrine Sørland.
