Spielbank Kassel (Kurfürsten Galerie)
Mauerstraße 11, 34117 Kassel · Kassel · Germany
Spielbank Kassel is one of the smaller German state casinos that still deals real player-versus-player poker — a single daily Texas Hold'em cash table rather than a tournament programme.
What is actually dealt here
The casino's own Live Games page is unambiguous: the poker form on offer is Texas Hold'em, and the game is a cash game starting daily at 20:00 with a buy-in of 100 euros and blinds of 2 and 4 euros. This is poker between players, not a dealer-banked table game — a distinction worth making, because several German houses list "Poker" and mean Ultimate Texas Hold'em against the bank.
Hours and the rest of the floor
Live play opens at 19:00 each evening. Black Jack runs from 19:45 to 03:00 with a 5-euro minimum and a 200-euro maximum, and American Roulette is dealt at a raised single-croupier table with player-chosen wheelcheck values. The building itself is open Monday to Saturday 09:00–03:00, and 12:00–03:00 on Sundays and public holidays.
Getting in
Entry is restricted to guests aged 18 and over, and a valid identity document is required at reception. Standard German closing days apply.
No tournament series
The site publishes no poker tournament calendar. If you are looking for German tournament poker, the Bavarian state circuit, Spielbank Berlin's daily schedule and the Baden-Württemberg championship are the places to look; Kassel's contribution is the cash table.
