What dress code should I pay attention to when visiting the casino?

WOW, THAT LOOKS GREAT ON YOU!

If you’re looking for an experience in a one-of-a kind ambience, you also need the outfit. But let's be honest: it doesn't always have to be a cocktail dress or a smoking. That’s because there are numerous ways to achieve an elegant appearance these days. The important thing is to create a well-groomed impression that lives up to the flair of the casino. After all, every guest contributes to the fascination of the casino – and a certain WOW effect is always in vogue. And if you're looking for a term for our dress code, it's probably smart casual. But a look at the DOs & DON'Ts is certainly more helpful.

DOs:
Modern, stylish shirts and polos, gilets, blousons, pullovers, nice jeans with a jacket and smart sneakers are welcome. Of course, you should also feel free to wear a shirt, dress, skirt, blazer or suit. Coats and jackets should be left at the checkroom on the ground floor.

DON’Ts:
Shorts, flip flops, sandals or open-toed shoes for men, unsightly or dishevelled apparel, jogging trousers and sport shoes, caps and hats.

THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS:
You are welcome to wear casual wear when you visit our Jackpot Casinos (Baden, Bregenz, Graz, Innsbruck, Vienna), as no dress code applies here. At Casino Velden and Casino Linz you can visit us every day until 6 p.m. also with neat shorts. 

What is required for registration?

A valid official photo identification document (i.e. passport, driving licence ...) is required for registration. The Gambling Statute commits us to identifying guests by means of an official type of photo ID prior to allowing them admission to the casino. The security of our gambling operations is of utmost importance to us, and we believe that we are therefore also acting in the interest of our guests.
