PepperMill Casino as a setting in the new hit series ‘Moresnet’ with Boris Van Severen

At PepperMill Casino, we are always looking for ways to give visitors a unique experience. But did you know that our casinos in Genk and Heerlen now also play a role in the exciting new series 'Moresnet' which has been available on Streamz since 7 November? In this much-discussed mystery thriller starring Boris Van Severen, our location forms the setting for an important scene that immediately sets the tone for the entire series. We take you along in the story and why this scene has such an impact.

It starts at the roulette table

The opening scene of ‘Moresnet’ brings the character Ben (played by Boris Van Severen) to the heart of our casino in Genk. Here he sits focused at one of our roulette tables, surrounded by the atmospheric ambiance that makes PepperMill unique. The tension is palpable when the well-known “Rien ne va plus” sounds. The moment that follows is both mysterious and compelling and immediately grabs the viewer by the throat. The casino, with its vivid background and realistic setting, amplifies the emotions that Ben experiences: grief, loneliness and struggling with the past.

"For me, that scene in the casino symbolizes the ultimate now: winning or losing." - Jef Hoogmartens

Why PepperMill Casino was the perfect location

The makers of ‘Moresnet’ chose PepperMill Casino because of the authentic atmosphere and the luxurious look of our location in Genk. Here, everything revolves around the combination of tension and relaxation, exactly what the scene in the series needed. We are proud that our space was allowed to be the setting for this powerful opening scene. It is proof of the unique ambiance that we have managed to create here and how that can also come to life outside the regular casino experience.

An experience full of emotions

For Boris Van Severen, this scene was more than just a moment at the gaming table. For him, it symbolizes the state of his character: a man who clings to the now, without an eye for the past or the future. The casino setting reinforced this sense of isolated tension, something we at PepperMill deal with every day in our quest to create an unforgettable experience for our visitors.

“Moresnet” takes the viewer on a rollercoaster of emotions, and we are happy that PepperMill Casino can play a role in that. Whether you are a fan of thrillers, dramas or just a good story, the series makes you think and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

A unique project and a great collaboration

The fact that we are part of ‘Moresnet’ feels to us like recognition of the atmosphere and style that we create in our casino every day. The series connects past and present and shows how a place like PepperMill Casino contributes to telling stories that stick. Boris Van Severen, who plays the lead role, and director Frank Van Passel managed to perfectly convey the tension of the casino in images.

If you want to experience the atmosphere of PepperMill Casino yourself after seeing ‘Moresnet’, you are more than welcome. Whether you come to play, relax or just feel the ambiance you saw in the series, we are ready to welcome you.
