Spielbank Wiesbaden, Gaming establishment in Wiesbaden, Germany
Spielbank Wiesbaden occupies the former wine salon within the historic Kurhaus building and offers roulette, blackjack, poker, and roughly 170 slot machines spread across different sections. The spaces combine historic architecture with modern gaming facilities across multiple levels.
Gambling was licensed in Wiesbaden by a 1771 privilege from Prince Carl of Nassau-Usingen, and roulette was introduced eleven years later. In 1810 the casino moved into the newly built Alte Kurhaus. After the Reich law of 1872 closed the casinos, large-scale play resumed only on 29 October 1949, first in the foyer of the Hessian State Theatre. On 3 November 1955 the casino reopened in the north wing of the Kurhaus, and since its restoration the Great Game has occupied the former wine salon, a neoclassical hall with cherry-wood panelling and crystal chandeliers.
