Hungary is situated in Eastern Europe, bordering Romania, Slovakia, and
Ukraine; its rich history and architecture take you back in time, while
the up-to-date technology and amenities give you a glimpse of the
future.
Hungary has a little bit of everything for any tourist or traveler who
reaches this part of the world and if you feel lucky, their vast number
of casinos may dazzle you as well. Almost all major cities in Hungary
have at least one casino to boast of with the capital leading the way.
Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is situated on the Danube River and
not surprisingly so, almost all major casinos occupy historical
buildings, which adds a bit more personality and flavor to the gambling.
Most Hungary casinos open around 2 pm and stay open until the wee hours
of the morning, trying to please every customer. A famous Hungary
casino is the Danube Palace, which was the Casino of Lipotvaros when it
was first established in 1883. The locals say the reason this Hungary
casino became famous so quickly is because it was founded by Miksa Falk,
the country's first president.
Famous paintings still hang on the wall of the Danube Palace, and its
interiors are equivalent to any respected museum. Every day a vast
number of people gather here to try out their luck in the exquisite
beauty and elegance of this building.
The rules and regulations of Hungary casinos allow only those above 18
years of age to gamble or participate at any casino events; 18 is also
the legal age to consume alcoholic beverages. Usually, the first rounds
of drinks are free in most casinos, but there are exceptions from time
to time as per the management regulations.
All Hungary casinos must follow the same rules and regulations set by
the government, but they can also have house rules, which allow them to
pick and choose who their customers may or may not be. Strict dress
codes apply to most casinos in Budapest or other casinos around Hungary
that are in the five star categories.
Besides the Hungary casinos in the stunning historical buildings around
the country, you also have the possibility of gambling on a cruise.
There are daily cruises available just for gambling purposes, known as
floating casinos.
Whatever your choice, Hungary casinos have all the international games
from blackjack to roulette, and if you are a beginner, you can always
spend your day on the slot machines or take gambling lessons available
for free on the casino premises. Hungary casinos also place an entrance
fee, applicable per the in-house management regulations.
