Casino Velden

Velden was the fifth Austrian casino to open, on 14 July 1950. The continuous addition of new games and promotion of the casino as a tourist attraction quickly led to a sharp rise in the number of visitors. This made it necessary to enlarge the premises, and in summer 1974 an outdoor gaming area was set up, consisting initially of two tables. As it was not possible to enlarge the existing premises any further, construction of a new casino building was started in November 1987.

The new casino was finally completed on the banks of the Veldener Bucht—one of the most beautiful spots on the lake. On 26 May 1989 it was officially opened in the presence of 4,000 specially invited guests.The architects were looking to build the most entertaining casino in Europe in the Austrian town with the most Mediterranean atmosphere. In other words, entertainment all year round in the fascinating world of the casino. The attraction of gaming, stylish entertainment and events, exquisite cuisine and striking interior design, not to mention the opportunity to play outdoors on the lakeside terrace, combine to make Casino Velden one of the most modern and interesting casino in Europe.

Stylish entertainment and gambling
The arrangement of the pavilions and the fascination of the Casineum make Casino Velden into a place not only to gamble but also to meet and have fun.
The restaurants also help to make a visit to the casino into a memorable occasion. Apart from the casino restaurant and bar, both of which are accessible only from the gaming area, there are also the GIG Bistro and Cafe GIG right on the Veldener Corso.
