As early as 1771, the Prince of Nassau-Usingen granted a gambling concession in Wiesbaden. Today, the casino is located in the former wine hall of the Kurhaus.

 
Russian poet Feodor Dostoevski and German composer Richard Wagner also tried their luck at the Spielbank (Casino). As early as 1771, the Prince of Nassau-Usingen granted a gambling concession in Wiesbaden. From 1810 onwards, the casino was housed in the old Kurhaus.

After 1872, when an imperial law resulted in casinos being closed down, it was not until 1949 that gambling could be resumed, this time in the theater foyer. Today, the casino is located in the former wine hall of the Kurhaus. Regular guided tours through the Casino with demonstration games. The casino is open daily from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m.
