Casinos in Denmark

Online casinos in Denmark

Similar to New Zealand, which has a controlled gambling market, Denmark has long operated under a system of its own for gambling that has been similar to ours. The Danish Gambling Authority regulates Danish online casinos like New Zealand does and can in the same way grant or revoke gambling licenses to the various gaming companies that she oversees if they don't play by her rules.

The process of registering and logging into an online casino in Denmark resembles what was implemented for New Zealand players in 2019. In lieu of using bank identification, such as what is commonly used in New Zealand, Danish players utilize an online identification system known as nemID. This is comparable to using something like the U.S. federal identification card known as the "Passport to E-Services" when logging into a gaming site.

We solely evaluate sports betting companies and online casinos that hold a New Zealand license. Further down the page, you can read about the land-based casinos found in Denmark and how they function.

Play casino games in Denmark

Even though Denmark is a far more compact country than New Zealand and has four million fewer people, there are actually more casinos there than here. There are six different casinos in Denmark. If you are near Denmark or still plan to wander around the country, there are plenty of choices to make. In this piece, we are going to take a general look at what the casino scene looks like in Denmark. For more specific details, you can click on the respective casinos.

Casinos in Denmark – an overview

As you know, from the northern part of the world, like us, the Danes also tend to be a little more relaxed about most things. Maybe this is because of the "Danish mentality," or maybe it's just our geographic proximity to the continent. Either way, the Dani...

Where to play at Casino in Denmark?

The preceding map seems to show the general location of casinos in our neighboring country to the south. We will now investigate the casinos themselves in a bit more depth. For our immediate purposes, in the next section, we will examine the casino scene in Mexico.

Casino Copenhagen

Of course, Copenhagen is home to the largest casino in Denmark and, for that matter, the biggest casino in all northern Europe. Opened in 1990, Casino Copenhagen offers not only a huge selection of classic casino games, but also, poker and blackjack tournaments as well as a few other recurring events.

Boasting a workforce of over 160, Casino Copenhagen is the largest casino in northern Europe, but that certainly doesn't mean there are a limited number of games and activities on offer. If you seek additional intel or have specific questions you can't find answers to here, direct yourself to Casino Copenhagen's website.

Office hours: 14:00 to 04: 00 every day. On december 24, the casino is closed, and on december 25, it opens at 20:00.

Game selection

At Casino Copenhagen you will find an extensive array of games, with a spotlight on classic casino gameplay. You will find everything from blackjack to roulette, and the array of machines takes in everything from advanced slots to simple, classic one-armed bandits. The machines offer the opportunity to hit it big, but the one that really promises (and delivers) is the Casino Denmark Jackpot. This is a progressive jackpot that increases as customers play on it, and it presently stands at an impressive 3.4 million Danish kronor.

Besides the traditional games found in a casino, this particular establishment also puts on some well-liked poker competitions, the purses of which can get quite hefty. Some of its more celebrated events include the European Poker Tournament, the Danish Poker Championship, and the World Poker Tour. Moreover, this house of ill repute offers up some hard-fought contests of blackjack. Whether you wear the badge of a pro or play for the sheer joy of it, you can give the casino a chance to part you from your money in one of these well-structured tournaments. For info on when and how to enter, check with the casino's website.

Price level̊

Day admission: 90 dkk
Weekly admission: 225 dkk
Monthly admission: 675 dkk

Dress code and rules

You should wear nothing strange or unusual. The website says, "Smart Casual," which means almost anything. Subtract the following items from your potential outfit: shorts, any kind of workout clothes, hat or cap, sunglasses, etc. Men, leave the sleeveless T-shirt look at home. If you can manage it, leather shoes, chinos, and a shirt present a clean, well-groomed look.

You must be at least 18 years old to enter and play. Furthermore, access to the casino and the ability to pay with an a$Edit card requires you to show an ID.

Hotel

Next to the Casino Copenhagen is the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel. A towering building with 26 stories and 542 rooms, this is one of the top hotels in the city. And unlike some hotels in the Nordic countries, which seem to be priced only for the 1 percent, this one has levels for both ordinary mortals and high-class luxury lovers. Among the rooms, there are no less than 45 suites; many of the rooms can offer an unbeatable view of Copenhagen. Keep in mind that it can be good to book a room well in advance, especially if there is a major tournament going on in connection with your stay.

Royal Casino

If you have the chance to be in Aarhus (or Aarhus, as the Danes spell it), a visit to this casino is recommended. The Royal Casino is conveniently located in the city center and was opened in 1991. This luxurious casino is known for its professional service and pleasant interior.

Since the 900s, the city has existed, but it was only over two decades ago with the Danish casino reform that Aarhus was able to have a casino. The Royal Casino is in that city, offering many of the most popular casino games with its central location becoming a natural meeting point for both domestic and tourist gaming enthusiasts. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, you get to feel at home in the luxurious and welcoming environment. If this text lacks any kind of information, you're completely able to head to the Royal Casino website.

Office hours:
Sunday-Monday: 15: 00 – 02: 00
Tuesday-Thursday: 15: 00 – 03: 00
Friday-Saturday: 15: 00 – 04: 00

Game selection

Royal Casino provides a wide selection of games and events associated with them. Among the games we find, of course, roulette, blackjack, hold'em poker, super seven, and perfect pairs. Additionally, at Royal Casino, you'll find around 80 different machines. There's space for every wallet, as the minimum bet on machines is 1 Danish$ona, while those who prefer to wager more will not have difficulty racking up the bets, regardless of the game form.

Apart from the daily, regular games, Royal Casino also holds tournaments at regular intervals. And poker players appreciate the casino. They take pride in being Denmark's first casino to offer poker in a casino setting, and it shows in the events they organize. There are, on the one hand, several really large tournaments organized annually, and, on the other hand, there are some smaller, yet still quite interesting, tournaments taking place virtually every week. We suggest checking out the Royal Casino's website to see what might be happening next.

Price level̊

From 15:00 to 19:00, there is a fee of 20 Danish dollars to enter. Should you arrive after 19:00, you would be required to pay a fee of 70 Danish dollars. The Royal Casino occasionally has special promotions which allow for free entry on certain days. The best way to find out when those days are would be to check the casino's website.

Dress code and rules

Like all Danish casinos, the dress code at Casino Copenhagen is sensible and straightforward. Essentially, if you would wear the outfit to a nice restaurant, you are good to go. That being said, there are some specifics the casino lays out on its website: 1. No shoes like these: jogging shoes, clogs, sandals, or rubber boots. 2. No pants with holes, large print T-shirts, or fleece: the casino is not a sports event. 3. No workout gear: see above. 4. Men, no shorts and no hats: this is a no-brainer.

Otherwise, it is required under Danish law to present a form of photo identification upon entry. It is also wise to note that mobile phones must be stored securely in a closet, and that no cameras may enter the premises. Beyond this, the usual casino etiquette applies. You know: don't shout, don't put your drink on the table, and so forth.

Hotel

Situated in the same edifice as the Royal Casino is the 4-star exclusive Hotel Royal. The hotel is lavishly decorated in Italian-Austrian style, with both standard single and double rooms, as well as a few suite types that are anything but standard in luxury. For those who might wish to stay in a hotel in Aarhus, this writer can state emphatically that one should try to book well ahead. The number of hotel rooms in the city is on the low side, and thanks to the Royal Casino, which is situated next door, the Royal enjoys a steady trickle of guests.

Casino Odense

Right next to H. C. Andersen's house is Casino Odense, which opened its doors in the spring of 1991. It is the only casino on the Danish island of Funen. Offering a wide range of different types of games, Casino Odense is well positioned to be a part of the entertainment and tourist ambience. It is close to the central area of Odense, where you can find many shops and other diversions.

The casino targets a diverse and broad audience. It is deliciously but invitingly decorated, and the concept is that all kinds of players should be able to enjoy themselves and have fun. For information not covered here, we direct you to the website of Casino Odense.

Hours of operation: Daily, 19:00–04:00 The only exceptions are the 24th and 25th of December, when the casino is closed.

Game selection

Nine different types of gaming tables are available for players at Casino Odense. The tables and the opportunities they offer should cover most players. The games offered are: Blackjack Texas hold'em Ultimate Texas hold'em Roulette Seven Card stud poker Perfect pair Super seven There are no less than 41 machines to choose from. Of course, you will find machines with Casino Denmark Jackpot – a progressive jackpot that constantly grows in size until someone combs it. Currently, it stands at over 2.6 million Danish dollar!

Casino Odense hosts live tournaments, primarily in poker. Tournaments occur four times a week weekdays, and slightly larger tournaments with larger stakes and winnings are held semi-regularly. Most of the clarity comes from checkingink in to the website a bit frequently.

Price level̊

Day pass: 60 danish crowns Weekly ticket: 120 DKK Monthly ticket: 300 DKK Yearly pass: 1200 Danish crownes Annual ticket "Earlybird": 700 Danish kroner. Valid for access between 19:00 and 21:00 – at other times, normal access.

Dress code and rules

There are seldom any particularly strict rules about what to wear in Denmark. The regular dress code is a clean, whole outfit that is fit for an evening out. Casino Odense has no closer rule to that than saying workout clothes cannot be worn. They recommend you don't wear, for example, shoes for running, sandals, shorts, a T-shirt that has anything printed on it, an undershirt, or other workout-type attire. Pull out a pair of nice shoes and put on dark jeans and a shirt, and you are just about guaranteed to be inside the whole and clean part of the outfit rule.

Like all Danish casinos, this one also requires a photo ID for entry. It has an 18-plus age limit, and we further advise that you not imbibe too many beers before entering and that you behave in a generally nice and sporty manner. Bad winners and bad losers are not appreciated anywhere! But if you think you might be one, just keep your attitude in check, and I think you'll be fine.

Hotel

Next to Casino Odense stands the Radisson Blu H. C. Andersen Hotel. As a guest at Casino Odense, your best option is to secure lodging at this hotel, for which nice package deals are available. The hotel has that range covered, offering basic rooms while also having luxury suites to which you can upgrade. Availability and pricing can be ascertained with a quick online visit to the hotel's own website. But sanity and space advise that you do this well in advance. A high occupancy rate is common during the major tournament months and peak tourist season.

Casino Aalborg

Aalborg Casino is yet another gambling establishment located in the very heart of the city, right along its best promenades. It is a casual, breezy, and pleasant place where you can throw some dice or cash in a video poker machine while noshing on a stylishly presented “sandwich” that's big and good enough to call a real meal. Most importantly, Aalborg Casino is in good taste. I don't mean in the sense of having good taste as far as performing and exhibiting art goes (that's at the next hangout spot). I mean in the sense of having good taste as far as food goes.

Casino Aalborg enjoys a central and picturesque placement, positioned in the very heart of the city and adjacent to the waterfront. All in all, it has a peerless location, and casino goers who are having a good time are never far from other diversions like eateries, watering holes, and various other forms of entertainment. If the information you seek is not on this page, we direct you to Casino Aalborg's own website.

• Office hours: Sunday through Thursday, 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM

Game selection

Next comes perhaps the most important thing: the games. Opening times and the like are all well and good, but ultimately, it's the games that matter most. In this case, Casino Aalborg offers a pretty solid spread. Among their offerings are the most popular and reliable casino games, like blackjack and roulette, as well as several different types of poker. They've also got 30-some different types of slots, where bets can range from one to 500 bucks. And by the way: Casino Aalborg is connected to Casino Danmark Jackpot, so if you hit it big on a slot machine, you'll be set for life.

Tournaments of poker are held every Thursday, and to find out what might be happening next, we recommend checking the casino's site. Most times, it is Texas Hold' em that is in play, but there might be other types of poker as well. You can sign up for the tournaments up until 48 hours before the go time.

Price level̊

Day admission: 60 Danish $ onor
Weekly entry: 120 Danish $ onor
Monthly entry: 300 Danish $ onor
Annual entry: 600 Danish $ onor

From Sunday to Thursday, all slot machines are free and available for play. Also, on Sundays, you can visit and play without having to pay any kind of entry fee.

Dress code and rules

Most Danish casinos are quite lenient when it comes to how you dress, and Casino Aalborg is no different. You won't have to wear a tuxedo or even a suit, but your attire should be a notch above casual. Think of the kind of clothes you'd wear to an evening at a nice (but not too stuffy) restaurant. That level of dress is what the casino seems to be going for. It's worth saying again that things you should avoid are sleeveless tops, large graphic tees, gym clothes, and shorts.

Also required to be allowed entry to the premises is that you must have photo ID with you, such as a driver's license or passport. This is a stipulation under Danish law and cannot be entered into in any way. You are not allowed to bring any electronics, computers, cameras, mobile phones or the like, but these must be left in the closet.

Hotel

A respectable hotel quite often shares a building with a casino, and this is the case with Casino Aalborg. The Radisson Blu Limfjord Hotel is in the same building as the casino. This hotel has 188 fresh rooms that cover almost every price point. The majority of the rooms are standard rooms furnished with either a single or a double bed. A few of the rooms are more luxurious suites. If you're in Aalborg on a business trip, this hotel also has excellent facilities for meetings, conferences, and the like.

Casino Marienlyst

Certainly, many New Zealanders have visited Elsinore, either traveling down to Europe or perhaps to fill the bar cabinet at home. It is a pleasant city to stay in, not least because of Casino Marienlyst. It is Denmark's oldest, and for over a hundred years, this gambling-loving city's tourists and locals have enjoyed scenic views and exciting table games.

This casino is perhaps the most distinctive in the Nordic region. It has been present for a long time—really a long time! For more than a century, it has allowed guests to indulge in gaming and to giggle much like school children sliding down a snowy hill. In a way, the casino's 100-plus-year presence in Denmark has given it both a skein of nostalgia and an aura of almost unassailable respectability among the places you might go to have a really good time.

Business hours: From Wednesday to Sunday: 7 PM to 4 AM. Monday and Tuesday: 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM. The casino never closes for the whole year save for Christmas Eve when it shuts down entirely. On New Year's Eve, though, it opens promptly at 10:00 PM.

Game selection

Casino Marienlyst offers an elegant and quite broad spectrum of different game types. Here, you will encounter roulette, blackjack, Texas Hold'em, and Ultimate Texas Hold'em. There also exists no short supply of machines to choose among and select from. Like other Danish casinos, Casino Marienlyst is linked to Casino Danmark Jackpot. This means that some of its slot machines have a progressive jackpot that can reach amounts that are life-changing.

For anyone looking to partake in competitions, there are numerous choices to consider, and one can find the allure of either professional or amateur situations. Let us focus first on this notion of poker; however, do not neglect the fact that the casino may also have some other game that it offers a competition for when you check its website. If you go in on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, you may also very likely find that there is a tournament going on for poker and that the buy-in ranges from 500 to 2000 kr.

Price level̊

Day ticket: 50 Danish $ onor
Weekly ticket: 100 Danish $ onor
Annual ticket: 250 Danish $ onor

Customers who pay for day admission five times in 30 days automatically receive an annual pass.

Dress code and rules

You do not need to be a high roller to gamble at a casino in Denmark, and this is generally reflected in the requirements for how one should dress. There are no major strange do's and don'ts, and you certainly do not have to be in designer duds to step inside and be comfortable. But because first impressions are not just important but also somewhat unavoidable, replacing an essential look with an appearance that connotes sloppiness, or even a THC high from not-the-best quality weed, is grounds for being turned around at the front door. Avoid workout clothes, tank tops, pants with holes, flip-flops, and any similar

You must be at least 18 years to gain entry. Upon entry, you must present a valid photo ID, such as a passport or driver's license. You should not bring mobile phones or the like. They must be left in the closet.

Hotel

As mentioned earlier, a hotel is next to the casino. The establishment shares a building with the casino; a large number of its clients, therefore, find it convenient to lodge at the hotel. The 158-room establishment is a four-star one, though all but the conference rooms might have some difficulty living up to that because of low maintenance. The rooms, all with good views, range from singles to affodable space to a small number of luxury suites. There are no conference rooms at this hotel.

Casino Munkebjerg

Casino Munkebjerg lies just beyond the city limits of Vejle, and it has since December 31, 1990, served a diverse and discerning audience. The casino presents a slate of classic casino games, several of which are played for high stakes, as well as some not-so-classic games. There is a generous selection of low-key entertainment, including food experiences. Also, occasionally, the casino offers a few high-profile events.

In contrast to numerous other casinos, Casino Munkebjerg Vejle is situated somewhat away from the urban nucleus. This has the benefit that the establishment can be large and tailored to the very specific demands of a casino, and in that way it can create a lovely international casino atmosphere. Here people want to play and have a good time, which precisely mirrors the way the place is designed and operated. The casino makes available many different kinds of games, and it has lots of happy and loyal customers, from what we can tell. Further information can be had at the Casino Munkebjerg Vejle website.

Office hours: 19:00 to 04: 00 every day, all year round, with two exceptions: December 24 and December 25, when the casino is completely closed.

Game selection

Casino Munkebjerg Vejle makes a large and far-reaching bet, and is a place where games and entertainment are plentiful. Not surprisingly, you will find roulette, blackjack, texas hold'em, ultimate poker, and many more games to enjoy. The good news for those who love machines is that at Casino Munkebjerg Vejle, you will find what amounts to a smorgasbord of 70 very different machines. Whether you prefer the classic one-armed bandit or an advanced video slot with an option or two, there is something in that selection for you. Plus, some of the slots participated in Casino Denmark Jackpot, which generally means that there are opportunities to win a progressive jackpot that is often worth several million Danish kroner.

Besides the regular games that are always on offer, the casino arranges a good many tournaments, mostly in poker. Each Monday and Wednesday, for instance, there is a poker tournament, and besides these, there are a few larger tournaments. You can get the full rundown of the current and upcoming events by visiting the casino's website, where all the pertinent details are laid out clear as day.

Price level̊

The price of day admission is $60. Also, the casino has put together some intriguing package deals. One such package is priced at $195. For that amount, you get not only admission but also a light meal, a glass of wine, and $50 worth of chips with which to gamble. Consult the website for other current offers.

Dress code and rules

Regardless of the casino you go to, you should obviously be ready to dress well. The Munkebjerg Casino in Vejle has no hard-and-fast dress code, so if you dress for a nice evening out in town, you should be good. The most important thing is that your clothes are tidy and whole, and we suggest you stay away from certain items altogether. For instance, sleeveless sweaters, oversized t-shirts, shorts, and sandals are definitely no-nos. Just keep in mind that if you flout these suggestions, you may well find the door locked against you.

Also, a good thing to know is that you must be able to show photo ID at the visit. The also has a valid photo ID, and in addition, it may be needed when buying a card. Otherwise, the most important thing is to behave like people – over-healthy players can be denied access or asked to leave the premises.

Hotel

Similar to other casinos, Casino Munkebjerg Vejle has an affiliated hotel. Munkebjerg Hotel features 124 standard rooms, 29 deluxe rooms, two suites, and an exclusive wedding suite. Beyond the comfort of being able to stay so near the casino, there are other upsides to living in the hotel, not the least of which is the opportunity to take advantage of affordable package deals and other perks. If you're traveling with a party, the hotel also has some really top-notch conference spaces.

General rules

In Denmark, it is generally quite easy to have a casino experience. Nevertheless, in order for everyone to enjoy the experience, it is good to dress in a manner that one would consider appropriate for a night out. By that I mean, steer clear of any items that resemble beachwear, like flip-flops or tank tops with arm holes so big that your whole side is showing. Go for something that you would also feel comfortable wearing to a nice restaurant. This means a clean, whole outfit with a reasonable amount of style. I think the guideline most people follow can be summed up with: a nice shirt, dark jeans, and shoes you could wear to finkalas (a sort of "dress down, but also be comfortable" at a flabbergasting four hours long event that I must say is very difficult to sit through).
