Grand Casino Basel

General

Always wanted one Casino visit that is stationed at an airport? Then you should take a look at the Grand Casino Basel. Nestled in a futuristic building, it offers everything a casino player would expect. It is not far from the French border, which is why some French people are drawn to this location. Outside and inside it is a highlight, nobody will deny this.

It is a cubic building, which was created by the company Burckhardt und Partner. The two-layer facade is breathtaking, it was laid out of glass and there is a red thermal insulation. In the space there are LED lights that make the building shine at night. Anyone who thinks that you can only play in this building is mistaken. There are also restaurants and bars to make your evening unique and perfect. If you want to visit this casino, you don't have to go far. If you have a stopover at the airport, this is ideal for bridging the gap. The city center of Basel is also not far away. We created a small test report for you, and we look forward to seeing you in Basel soon.

Opening times and etiquette

We found opening times on the web, but we cannot guarantee that they will remain up to date. You must not forget that everything is different at the moment. If you want to visit the casino, you should check the website in advance so that you are up-to-date. If necessary, ask if you are stuck. Basically it is open from Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 am to 3:00 am. Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. We cannot say whether the times will remain after the reopening. We don’t guarantee it.

Entry from the age of 18 with ID

If you want to play in the casino, you must be at least 18 years old and present a valid ID. Either identity cards, passports, US immigration cards and driving licenses. Foreign players are of course also allowed to play in the Grand Casino Basel. It is best to bring a passport with you. Unfortunately, players who are already banned from another casino are not allowed to play here either. Please note that this may be checked.

Which dress code applies at the Grand Casino Basel?

You don't have to wear a suit or tie. You can also leave your evening dress in the closet. Casual, clean clothes are expected. Ripped jeans, sleeveless shirts, swimwear, shorts and provocative prints are not welcome. Note that the bouncer always has the last word. He decides whether you can enter or not. At the moment you can only hand in helmets and luggage at the cloakroom. If anything changes, you can also find out on the casino's website.

Game offer

In the Grand Casino Basel you can of course look forward to many casino games. However, the table games are only open from 14:00. Relatively early actually, some casinos only send their dealers to work in the evening. However, since this is a large casino, there should be enough players present so that it is worth starting this early.

Look forward to eight roulette tables, five blackjack tables, and three poker tables. Among other things, Texas Holdem Poker and Omaha Poker are played. In addition, there are always poker tournaments in the casino. If you are a poker fan you should definitely bring your poker face with you.

The post is happening in the slot machine area. Look forward to over 300 slot machines. On the one hand there are video slots from different manufacturers, there is also an electronic roulette waiting for you and of course video poker. Perhaps you will soon hit the jackpot at the Grand Casino Basel and bring home a lot of money.

Directions

The casino is only a few hundred meters from Germany and France. That is why many foreign players are drawn to this wonderful casino. If you are coming from USA or Germany, it is best to take the A2 / A3 in the direction of France / EuroAirport. Take the Basel-EuroAirport exit and turn left, continue towards EuroAirport. From there you can already see a large red building which is illuminated at night. Turn off at the roundabout and you are at the casino.

If you are coming from France, take the A35 towards Autobahnzoll Basel / Saint-Lous. Take the Basel-Kannenfeld exit and turn left. After 200 m turn left again at the intersection. You can see the casino straight away. We recommend Google Maps or a navigation system so that you can quickly find the casino.

If you come by bus, take line 50, it's the airport bus that stops right in front of the casino (in both directions). The stop is called "Friedrich-Miescher-Straße". The bus departs from the Basel SBB and SNCD train stations and continues to the airport. It is around 10 minutes from the train station to the casino. If you are coming from the airport, allow 5 minutes. There is also a practical limousine service that you can order. Take a look at the Casino Basel website. They will be happy to help you.

The online casino

Unfortunately, the Grand Casino Basel does not yet have its own online casino. Unfortunately, we don't know whether one is planned. But there are plenty of alternatives that you can take advantage of. Since 2019, some casinos in USA have gone online and are presenting their range. Important: If you would like to play online as a US, you should only play on real US casino sites. In other words, the site must belong to a country casino. All others are actually banned in USA. You are still tolerated, but more and more are being put on the blacklist. Just because a provider owns a CH domain does not mean that they can also offer a casino. Only customers from USA are allowed to play in US online casinos. However, this does not apply to the Grand Casino Basel. Foreign players are of course also allowed to play there.

Tip: Use the online offers to improve your own skills. Perhaps you are learning new games or you would like to delve deeper into it. Sometimes there is a bonus or a play money mode. You don't necessarily have to invest money. Enjoy live casinos in the online offers. You will feel like the dealers are right in your living room or vice versa.
