If you still prefer the comfort of your own home, while gambling, you can simply stick to online poker [3].
Casino Baden-Baden
This is one of the oldest and most well-known casinos in Germany. It was opened almost two hundred years ago which provides experience and a unique atmosphere. The minimum age of entry is 21 years, which you should verify with an ID at the entrance. Moreover there is a dress code (jacket, shirt, tie) required by the casino, but do not worry if you just want to jump in to play some poker hands (without wearing a tie) there is an option to borrow one in the casino.
There are several opportunities to play in the casino. Besides poker cash game you can play roulette, black jack and slot machines. Poker cash games are offered three times per week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays).

Casino di Venezia is the oldest casino in the world, which was opened in the 17th century. The casino used to be the venue of the world-famous Venice Film Festival. It has huge spaces, which is perfect for the different kind of plays such as slot machines, black jack and roulette tables and of course poker tables as well. There is a dress code in the casino but, ladies are allowed to enter in a casual wearing. However, in the summer the beachwear is prohibited.
You should also have your ID with you because it must be shown at the entrance. In the case you get hungry during the plays you can grab something from one of the two restaurants (Wagner and Marco Polo) operating in the casino.
It goes without saying, but as you are in Venice there are free shuttle boats riding you to the casino as well.
Casino de Monte Carlo
I am not so far from the truth when I say that probably this casino is the most famous one in Europe due to the fact that it appeared several James Bond-movies (Never say never, Golden Eye, Casino Royale). Casino de Monte Carlo was established in the mid-19th century precisely in 1863. With more than 100,000 square feet space, it can offer various opportunities to spend a really good time in the casino by playing for instance some hands of poker. In case you just popped in for some meal (which I doubt) you can choose from the 18 restaurants of the casino where I am sure you can find something worth to eat.
The casino itself is really classy which perfectly fits for the fabulous environment of Monaco.

Being one of the most puzzling casinos in the UK it has acquired quite huge popularity amongst the players. It is located in the centre of London, in the West End in a building once was a music hall dated in the late 19th century. It is the biggest casino of London with 55,000 square feet.
