The rooms
Casino Copenhagen is the city's largest, inside the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel at Amager Boulevard 70, dealing roulette, blackjack, poker, punto banco and Ultimate Texas Hold'em alongside roughly 150 slot machines.
Casino Vesterport is the newest and the most central, next to Tivoli and Copenhagen Central Station, with roulette, blackjack, Ultimate Texas Hold'em and about 80 machines. If you have an hour between trains, this is the one within walking distance of the platform.
Casino Marienlyst, in Helsingør, opened in 1902 and is Denmark's oldest. It runs roulette, blackjack, poker tournaments and cash games, and it sits beside the Elsinore of Hamlet, which makes it a better day trip than its game menu alone would justify.
What the tables cost
European single-zero roulette is standard here, and it costs 2.70% on every bet — half the American wheel's 5.26%. Check the blackjack payout line before you sit: 3:2 against 6:5 is +1.35 percentage points, which costs more than every other rule difference on the felt combined. Ultimate Texas Hold'em appears in all three rooms; it is a house game, not poker against other players, and it is priced accordingly.
Practical notes
- Bring a passport or EU ID card — registration at reception is standard in Danish casinos.
- Denmark uses the krone, not the euro, and card terminals are universal; Copenhagen is close to cashless in ordinary life.
- Denmark licenses private operators and publishes its licence register, so a venue's status is checkable rather than assumed — see the country page.
- Southern Sweden is 35 minutes away over the Øresund bridge, but there is nothing to play there any more: Sweden abolished land-based casinos in 2026.
