Two Places in Budapest to Play with Luck & Your Money
Budapest is not gamblers’ paradise, so you’ll find few casinos. After the fall of communism several western-style casinos popped up mainly in the city centre, near luxury hotels.
Most places accept EUR and HUF. Credit cards are usually accepted. According to the Hungarian law on gambling only people 18 years of age or older are allowed to play in a casino. A formal club membership is also required (arranged at the first visit).
