Mingle with the jet set at Amsterdam’s chic and stylish casino, where you don‘t have to be a high roller to have a good time.
If you fancy your luck on the tables, put on your gladrags, dust off your tux and head for Max Euweplein in the heart of Amsterdam’s pulsating entertainment district for a little flutter at Holland Casino.This stylish venue caters for serious gamblers and curious novices alike, so you don’t need to be intimidated by casino etiquette. Play for low stakes on the slot machines to build up your confidence – and your stake – before graduating to the roulette or poker tables. If you don’t fancy the idea of parting with your own hard-earned cash, you can just have fun watching the punters gathered nervously around the American roulette tables or admiring the poker dealers’ lightning dexterity with the cards.If you’re looking for a slightly gentler introduction to the mysteries of gambling, why not learn the popular Dutch dice game of Rocket 7? Starting stakes at most of the tables for this multiple-player game are modest, so you can start small, only moving on to the High Limit Area if and when you’re ready.If Lady Luck has shone on you, why not dine in style in De Brasserie, the casino’s ultra-chic French-inspired restaurant, or splash out on an indulgent cocktail in the well-appointed bar. For the financially challenged there are some less expensive options at this and other restaurants on most week nights. Every last Friday of the month the venue hosts an entertaining programme of music acts and live shows, but be aware that tickets to these events are in addition to casino admission.Max Euweplein is a short walk from the Leidseplein, on the opposite side of the canal from the main entrance to the Vondelpark, and there are numerous tram stops nearby. This lively area is also home to several galleries, a comedy club and the Amsterdam Hard Rock Café. Holland Casino is open every day until the early hours. Don’t forget to take your passport to prove your age (minimum 18), and check out the dress code before you go. The English-speaking staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have in advance of your visit to make sure you have a memorable time – for all the right reasons!
