Spielbank Wiesbaden

Spielbank Wiesbaden, in the Kurhaus at the heart of the spa town next to Frankfurt, runs one of the most reliable poker rooms in Germany. Its 'Pokerarena' spreads cash games seven days a week from 6 pm until just before 3 am: no-limit hold'em at €2/€4 (€100 minimum buy-in) and €2/€4/€8 (€200), a bigger €5/€5/€10 game on Mondays with a €1,000 minimum, and pot-limit Omaha at €5/€5, €5/€10 or €10/€10 with €250–€500 buy-ins. The rake is unusually low — a flat €2 from a €50 pot at €2/€4, €5 from a €100 pot at the higher stakes, no flop no drop — and you can register for the day's game from 2.45 pm at reception or in the app. Tournaments are capped at 40 players and pay out 100% of buy-ins with no fee: the Monday tournaments (7.30 pm, 7,000 stack, 30-minute levels) rotate between hold'em and Omaha, and the Deep Stack Sunday (12,000 stack, 40-minute levels, 5 pm) runs on the penultimate Sunday of every even-numbered month.
