CASINO BADEN-BADEN – AS UNIQUE AS LUCK ITSELF
Nestled amidst the Black Forest, the casino is intimate and cosmopolitan, yet traditional and casual at the same time. While Baden-Baden is more than a city, the casino is much more than a gaming house. Both combine to create a lifestyle of gambling and glamour. Here connoisseurs will find everything their heart desires, so it's no wonder that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee named BadenBaden a world heritage site in July 2021 along with ten other 'Great Spas of Europe'. Casino Baden-Baden is a perfect ensemble of history and it-place for people with aspiration, a desire for lifestyle and fun playing. The fascinating gaming rooms call for 'Faites vos jeux' with roulette, blackjack and poker as well as 150 slot machines in the basement. Every visit is also a culinary highlight: in the casino restaurant THE GRILL, national and international gourmets will find the best of sushi and beef and enjoy warm summer 44

Founded by a clever French entrepreneur, immortalised by a brilliant Russian poet laureate, loved by Marlene Dietrich - the casino has resided in the Kurhaus in BadenBaden at the foot of the Black Forest for almost 200 years.
