On the banks of the Oos River, in the foothills of the Black Forest, lies a town with an advantageous setting. Nestled in a valley, the spot has drawn visitors from all over Europe for centuries. Its hot springs gave the city its name, as “bad” means “bath” in German.

The Casino and a Resort Arrive

With the fashionable elite converging on Baden Baden to share their leisure time, in 1853 a Parisian, Jacques Benazet, persuaded the town to build gambling rooms for evening entertainment. Thus an elaborately decorated establishment was erected, followed by other venues such as a concert hall, drinking hall, and racecourse.

Today, the casino offers daily tours in the morning before the gambling operation begins and even invites tour participants to return at a reduced rate later in the day. Richly adorned rooms offer traditional table games such as roulette and black jack, as well as more recent diversions including Texas Hold’em Poker.
