The club opened in 1907 and was widely regarded as a classic gambling site.[1] In 2005, the Grand Prix de Paris leg of the World Poker Tour took place at the Aviation Club.[2]

The main games played at the Aviation Club were: baccarat, poker and backgammon.[citation needed]

The club was closed in 2014, after a raid by the police,[3] and placed in liquidation in February 2015.[4]
