Discover more about The Baden-Baden Casino

Casino Baden-Baden, located within the Kurhaus complex, is more than just a gaming house; it's a journey into a world of glamour and history. Established nearly 200 years ago, it gained international fame in the mid-1830s when gambling was outlawed in France, drawing nobles and elites across the border to test their luck. The casino's fame was further cemented by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, who immortalized it in his novel 'The Gambler'. Marlene Dietrich herself declared it “the most beautiful casino in the world”. The casino's architecture and interior design are heavily influenced by the Palace of Versailles, featuring decadent red interiors, sparkling chandeliers and opulent décor. Today, visitors can experience the thrill of gambling in the classic gaming area, or try their luck at the slot machines. For those seeking a different kind of thrill, the in-house Club Bernstein offers a vibrant nightlife scene. The casino also offers excellent gastronomy at THE GRILL restaurant. To enter the Casino Baden-Baden, visitors must be at least 21 years old and possess a valid passport or identity card. A dress code is enforced: elegant evening wear is required in the classic gaming area, with gentlemen expected to wear a jacket (rentals available for €10), shirt and tie.
