The casino

Casino Velden sits in the heart of this lakeside resort, part of Austria’s network of licensed casinos, with table games, slots and a bar and restaurant.

Where to stay

Book a lakeside hotel with its own bathing jetty. The Wörthersee is known for its warm water in summer, so a lake-view room is worth it.

Beyond the tables

Swim from the jetties, take a boat across the lake to the Maria Wörth peninsula, or drive up to the Pyramidenkogel observation tower.

Getting there

Klagenfurt Airport is about 20–30 minutes away by road, and Velden has a station on the line through Carinthia.

Good to know: Guests must be 18+ with photo ID. Opening hours, entry fees and dress codes can change, so check the casino’s official website before you travel.
