- Slots: Expect a wide range of denominations; check for ticket‑in/ticket‑out machines.
Always check the felt and placards for current rules and minimums before buying in.
Travel Tips
- Transit: Trams and metro are fast and cheap—buy tickets at machines or via apps (DPP). Inspectors do spot checks.
- Cash & cards: CZK is standard. Avoid dynamic currency conversion; choose to pay in CZK on card terminals.
- Age & ID: Casinos are 18+ (ID required). Signage may note the Ministry of Finance warnings.
- Smoking: The national 2017 indoor‑smoking law tightened restrictions; many casinos keep smoke‑free main rooms with designated areas/lounges. Follow on‑site signs.
