The Kurhaus of Baden-Baden Casino

With London's Ritz Casino and Casino de Monte Carlo most often in the spotlight when people talk about gambling among the rich ones worldwide, the Kurhaus or Casino Baden Baden offers a combination of grandeur and peace of mind, in proximity to the mesmerizing Black Forest in Germany. Therein lies the nature of this enterprise -a casino as well as spa simultaneously- which is located in the tranquility of Baden Baden, a place that in the past has been home of the European aristocracy. A casino regarded as boasting of the most astonishing interior all, with Marlene Dietrich once exclaiming that it's "the most beautiful casino in the world" experience begins the moment you immerse yourself in the ambiance of a refined elegance, evident in plush, red carpets, artful walls, and sparkling crystal chandeliers, all watched over by an equally style-conscious membership. Strict adherence to the dress code is designed to create the air of exclusivity. The casino has roulette tables offering the version to suit all tastes, from the French to the American ones attracting both enthusiasts and high rollers. However, Baden Baden did not build its fame only as a gaming destination. The anecdotes of when Leo Tolstoy was luring into a gambling adventure add to the charm of the place.

Following the death of Prince Charles's father, Florestan, in 1854, Charles himself was set for the throne and he started building a casino, a spa, and villas etc. That was how in 1856 the first casino in the city was opened. Although early stage challenges included communication problems with France, the casino worked its way up by the end of the 19th century and in the process became one of the most indispensable financial assets not only for Monaco but also the Grimaldi family. Famed to being the cradle and birthplace of roulette, the Casino de Monte-Carlo played a huge role in the improvement of mathematical theories such as the Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit introduced by the investigator Karl Pearson. Thus a successful gambling house stands out with its majestic beauty, exceptional historical value, and whimsical architecture having many different types of table games among which roulette is considered to be their top expertise. European Roulette and English Roulette are some of the options to be found in this emblematic location which for the fans is not just a place to be seen, but an absolute pilgrimage site.
