Spielbank Bad Wiessee
The spa town of Bad Wiesse in Upper Bavaria has an amazing and unique potential for a whole year round holiday. There are excellent pistes and toboggan runs as well as ice skating rinks for winter sports enthusiasts. During the warmer months it offers tennis courts, golf courses, hiking and cycling trails, as well as a beach on Tegernsee Lake.
In addition, the German town is famous for having one of the largest casinos in the country, the Spielbank Bad Wiessee. It opened in 1957, and had two changes of location throughout its history: in 1969 the casino moved from the original cafe premises to a separate building, and in 2005 it moved once again due to the fact that it was too popular to sustain the spending of its time.
Now Spielbank Bad Wiessee has over 6,000 square meters of gambling area, with more than 200 slot machines from leading developers and gambling providers, as well as tables for classic table and card games.
The betting range is also very wide, allowing both low-income and high-roller players to play. The minimum bet is €1, and the maximum is €18,000. The casino is also famous for its traditional poker tournaments – particularly the well-established Spielbanken Bayern Poker Championships which have been held since 2013 and attract many of the world’s top poker players, as well as poker fans keen not to miss out on one of the poker world’s major gaming events.
Bad Wiese is suitable for tourists of all types, also for gamblers, as the town offers recreational attractions to suit all tastes. Depending on the season, one can go skiing, skating, golfing, fishing, swimming, hiking, cycling, horse riding, sailing and much more. There are also healing thermal springs and muds. You can therefore also have a restorative treatment if you need to.
At the casino Spielbank Bad Wiessee there is an age restriction: people over 21 years old can enter the institution. In case the managers of the institution doubt the age of the visitor, it is advisable to have an identity card with a photo and date of birth.
Entrance fees are €2.50 for the entire gaming area and €0.5 for the slot hall only. The venue also has facilities for business and gala events and a concert hall where famous artists often perform.
It is therefore not surprising that the casino is popular with tourists visiting the German resort. A lot of casino guests are particularly keen on junket tours, which are a kind of holiday for gamblers who, in exchange for taking care of all the hassle of travelling and staying, undertake to spend a certain amount of time at the casino and wager at least the amount agreed on the trip.
