Casinos in Germany can be found in most large cities<\/strong>, so if you’re visiting for work or a weekend break, you’re likely to find a venue nearby for gambling in Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, some of the most famous \u2013 and most historic \u2013 casinos in Germany are located not in major cities but in more rural resorts and spa towns<\/strong>. These are identified by the word \u201cBad<\/strong>\u201d at the beginning of their names, which means “bath” or “spa”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well-known examples of these include Casino Bad Ems<\/strong>, based at a spa that dates all the way back to 1720, and the spectacular lakeside Casino Bad Wiessee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given the number of casinos in Germany and their very varied locations, venues can differ immensely in their style and atmosphere<\/strong>. Many city casinos are modern steel and glass structures, but some of the historic spa casinos look like palaces<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the list below, we’ll present a rundown of the 12 best casinos in Germany. By the way, if you’re wondering how to say “casino” in German, the word is Spielbank<\/strong>, and the plural is Spielbanken. See that word on the sign and you know you’re in the right place to place a bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most German casinos offer classic table games<\/strong>, from Roulette to blackjack, baccarat and punto banco. Of course, they also have plenty of slots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n German casinos are primarily gambling venues<\/strong>. Don’t go expecting shows or any of the entertainment you’d expect somewhere like Las Vegas. While many have good food and drink options, and the “bad” casinos are often attached to accommodation and spa facilities, there isn’t usually much on offer in terms of additional entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rules on dress vary, as do opening hours. Opt for smart casual if in doubt. In most cases, table games open only after midday, but slots may sometimes be available earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n German gambling laws vary from state to state<\/strong>. There are 16 federal states in Germany and each can set its own laws for gambling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They share many elements, of course. Customers must almost always be aged over 18 <\/strong>to enter a casino and must present a valid photo ID to enter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all public spaces in Germany, casinos do not permit smoking indoors. That said, you may see some ingenious workarounds<\/strong> \u2013 for example smoking stalls that look like phone booths next to gaming tables). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Berlin is one of the most popular German cities to visit for a weekend break. Fortunately, there are several casinos in the city, four of them operating under the Casino Berlin<\/strong> name. These are all modern city casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The flagship Casino Berlin Potsdamer Platz<\/strong> (pictured) has a gaming floor of about 118,403 square feet with over 300 gaming machines and 12 table games. The poker floor has eight tables. Slots operate 11am to 5am and live table games from 5pm until 2.45am. Poker starts from 6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The smaller Casino Berlin Fernsehturm<\/strong> near the Berlin TV Tower offers 195 slots but just five live table games and three poker tables. Slots are open from 11am to 3am and table games and poker from 7pm to 3am. Smart casual clothing is fine for entry, as long as men wear long trousers and closed footwear. Casino Berlin’s other venues are Kurfurstendamm 31 and Spandau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Casino Berlin Potsdamer Platz<\/strong> Marlene-Dietrich-Platz 1, 10785 Berlin<\/em>. Casino Berlin Fernsehturm<\/strong><\/em> Panoramastra\u00dfe 1A, 10178 Berlin<\/em>. For a more luxurious experience, the Baden-Baden Casino is one of the grandest casinos in Germany<\/strong>. It’s also one of the most historic. Dating back more than 200 years, the Baden-Baden casino forms part of a spa resort called The Kurhaus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The main structure with its grand Corinthian columns and neo-classical friezes was designed in 1824. It’s so historic, in fact, that Fyodor Dostoyevsky <\/strong>wrote his novel The Gambler after being inspired by a visit to this German casino. Today it remains one of Germany’s most traditional gambling venues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It boasts a 2,200 square foot gaming floor with more than 140 slots and 18 table games<\/strong>. There’s a small entry fee of \u20ac5 to enter the main casino and 1 Euro to play slots alone. Of course, considering this German casino’s prestige, you should attend appropriately attired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kaiserallee 1, 76530 Baden-Baden.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Casino Esplanade is a much less historic affair <\/strong>but still offers a good range of gaming if you find yourself in Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two-story casino opened in 1978. The gaming floor spans 22,000 square feet and houses more than 135 slot machines <\/strong>featuring a range of games including video poker and electronic roulette<\/strong>. There are also 13 tables games on the first floor, and five live poker tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Casual attire <\/strong>is allowed in the slots area, but men must wear a jacket and in the live table games area. Women must wear a dress or blazer in the live gaming area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stephanspl 10, 20354 Hamburg<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGambling at casinos in Germany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
