Name: Spielbank AlexanderplatzAddress: Panoramastraße 1A, 10178 BerlinEntrance: 2€Opening hours: 11AM – 3AM Compared to the casinos above, the Merkur Casino is a bit further away from the center of Berlin. Marienfelde is in the south of Berlin but can be reached by public transport easily. From Alexanderplatz for example, it will take you a bit more then 30 minutes to get there. As you can see on the photo below, we are talking about a large casino where you can easily spend several hours.

Name: Merkur MarienfeldeAddress: Nahmitzer Damm 31, 12277 BerlinEntrance: FreeOpening hours: 11AM – 3AM As you can read in this article, most casinos in Berlin are owned by a company called Spielbank. Besides the two listed, there is one in Spandau and one at Kurfürstendamm. For us the one at Kurfürstendamm is one of the best casinos in Berlin because it just looks great. This casino was opened in 2021 and you can imagine that everything still looks very shiny and new. There are two floors and about 1000 square meter of playing fun. The casino at Kurfürstendamm is located a bit further to the west of Berlin. The area around Zoologischer Garten is known for its rich history and of course shopping and the KaDeWe. You can also visit the Aquarium and the Zoo here. The Spielbank Kurfürstendamm offers about 100 slot machines and plenty of live-games as well. Name: Spielbank Casino KurfürstendammAddress: Kurfürstendamm 31, 10719 BerlinEntrance: 2€Opening hours: 11AM – 3AM Besides the larger casinos above, you can also decide to visit one of the many smaller casinos in Berlin. In Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Neukölln you can find many small private casino’s. Not all of them are worth a visit but some of them are cosy and fun. Often you will get free drinks and the entrance is for free. Examples of smaller casinos are Joker Casino and Gluckspilz Casino. The casinos in Berlin may have different rules than the casinos in other countries. If you have any questions left, the following FAQs might help: You have to be at least 18 years old to enter a casino in Berlin. Most people see the casino as a night out and therefore put some nice clothes on. However, there are no dress codes in Berliner casinos, so you are allowed to wear whatever you want. The largest casino in Berlin is the Spielbank am Potsdamer Platz. This casino is number 1 in our list for a reason. The amount of money people should take to the casino depends a lot on your financial situation but only take money which you can spare. Some people might be disciplined but personally I like to think about how much money I want to spend and not take more than that. The act of going to an ATM and getting more money is a bigger step than taking another note out of your wallet and putting it in the machine. As you can read above, there are plenty of casinos in Berlin to offer you a night of entertainment. We would recommend visiting one of the bigger casinos because then it really becomes a night out. You can have a nice drink and maybe even something to eat. Most casinos in this list are easy to combine with the other cool things to do in Berlin.
