MERKUR Spielbank Bad Bentheim
Bad Bentheim · Germany
Bad Bentheim sits close to the Dutch border and is one of the ten Lower Saxony houses MERKUR has run since winning the state concession. For poker players it is a short entry: the published game offer lists slot machines, jackpot systems and Multi-Roulette only. There are no live card tables here, so no Hold'em, no Omaha and no tournaments.
Multi-Roulette deserves a word, because it is easy to mistake for a live game. Players sit at a touchscreen in front of a reproduction of the roulette layout; it is an automated terminal product, not a croupier-dealt table, and it has nothing to do with player-versus-player card play.
Lower Saxony also runs a stricter door than the rest of Germany: minimum age is 21 here, against 18 in every other German state. If you want real poker in the state, Hannover and Braunschweig are the houses that deal it, with Bad Zwischenahn also carrying a poker section.
