The Bad Homburg Casino ranks amongst the city's premier going-out attractions. Set in the heart of the idyllic spa gardens, the casino awaits guests with a sophisticated atmosphere and gambling and gaming of the highest level. Looking back on more than 175 years of history and tradition, the casino is the oldest and most famous of its kind in all of Europe. Founded by François Blanc and his twin brother, Louis, the "Mother of Monte Carlo" soon became a very popular and very successful institution. Once the first mineral spring was discovered in Bad Homburg in the early 19th century, turning Bad Homburg into a sophisticated spa resort quickly became a top priority. An important part of these plans was to establish a casino. Today, Bad Homburg Casino ranks in the Top-5 in Germany. It is also highly popular and successful internationally. Gourmets and night-owls are equally attracted by its charms, the casino restaurant, »Le Blanc«, the »Dostojewskis Bar«, and the Casino Lounge.
