The Grand Casino Bern is the casino of the Swiss federal city and resides in the tradition-rich Kursaal Bern, just a few minutes’ walk from Bern’s old town. In October 2001 the Federal Council granted Grand Casino Kursaal Bern AG one of the coveted Type A licences, and the casino opened its doors on 6 July 2002. The licence has since been renewed for a further 20 years, securing the venue for the long term. <\/p>\n
The gaming floor offers around 306 slot machines and some 13 gaming tables with American roulette, blackjack, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, punto banco and dice ball. There is also an active poker area with cash games and the popular monthly Poker Series. A highlight is the Swiss Jackpot, one of the largest casino jackpots in Europe, which at times has exceeded CHF 2.6 million. In the middle of the gaming floor, the Crazy Daisy Kitchen Bar in 1920s American style serves food until closing. <\/p>\n
One special feature: with 7melons.ch, Grand Casino Kursaal Bern AG has operated its own Swiss-licensed online casino since September 2020. The Kursaal complex also houses the four-star superior Swiss\u00f4tel Kursaal Bern as well as the Michelin-starred restaurant Meridiano. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
