history
Casino Konstanz was founded in 1949/1950 by the city of Konstanz and started gaming operations in June 1951. The seat is the former villa of the Jewish Rothschild family. The villa was expropriated, returned to the family and then sold by them to the city of Constance. The front length of the casino building was extended and a terrace with a view of the lake was created.
customers
As a casino close to Switzerland's border, Casino Konstanz had a location advantage over Swiss casinos thanks to its policy of higher money stakes. The citizens of Constance were initially forbidden to play.
Game operation
A variety of different casino games are offered at Casino Konstanz. This includes both the so-called "big game" such as blackjack, roulette and different casino poker variants. In addition, 133 slot machines are offered. This is also known as a "little game". Depending on the slot machine, the minimum bet is between one cent and one euro. According to the casino, the payout rates are between 95% and 97%. Payouts of high winnings take place directly at the slot machine, but can be done discreetly.
