Has anybody been to this casino in Germany? Its considered
the most beautiful casino in the world. Built in 1824 its really
a casino museum thats still open for full time play.

Oh man, the CSM on baccarat completely ruins the atmosphere.

I just checked with the Spielbank Baden Baden home page. There are 470 slot machines on the lower floors ( denominations 0.10 to 2.-- Euro) .

No craps table?

Stopped in there on a trip to a spa in Baden Baden about 4 years ago. Jacket required and they will provide. No craps. Only Baccarat, Roulette and BJ. Some slots. It was basically empty. Same could be said for the Monaco casino. Ghost towns for non moneyed types. There was a busier little casino in Monaco in a mall next to the famous one. No comped drinks, terrible bar service. Depressingly quiet. It did have half a craps table open. For god's sake don't set the dice! or cheer! They will ask you to leave if you continue to set 3's while spewing no habla frances.

Did you go in the daytime? Most EU casinos aren't
even open till mid afternoon and don't get busy till
evening.

I want to say it was around 4pm-6pm.. They may have been just opening but as it wasn't a gambling trip, I was the only gambler, and they didn't have craps tables we didn't stay. It definitely wasn't dark outside.

It's certainly not Vegas! I personally couldn't imagine making gambling trip plans based around Baden Baden or Monaco after the impressions I got. Limited as they admittedly were.
