Casino Interlaken is a Swiss casino at Strandbadstrasse 44, in the Kursaal complex near the Höhematte meadow and Interlaken West station, in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. It is the principal casino in the region and offers slot machines, table games and a bar, making it a different kind of evening from the pubs and hostel bars elsewhere in town. The crowd is a mix of visitors to the Kursaal, hotel guests, couples and groups out for an evening, and some local players, with a more adult and mixed-age profile than the backpacker venues; entry is restricted to adults, with a minimum age of 18 under Swiss law, and visitors should carry a valid passport or identity card, which is checked at the door. The atmosphere is polished and lively without being rowdy, and the dress code is smart casual; sportswear, beachwear and hiking boots may be refused, so neat clothing is advisable. Music is background casino ambience, with live entertainment programmed only at special events. The drinks programme is provided by the casino bar, with beer, wine, spirits and cocktails at upper-mid prices, around CHF 8 to 18 per drink. Exact opening hours are not listed in the data and should be checked with the casino, as Swiss casinos typically open in the afternoon or evening and stay open into the early morning at weekends. Entry fees and minimum stakes vary and should be confirmed before visiting, and the casino may run promotional offers. Reservations are not normally needed for the gaming floor, though dining or special events held in the Kursaal may require them. Bottle service is not a feature. The Kursaal setting, close to the Höheweg promenade and the grand hotels, means the casino pairs well with dinner or a drink at a nearby hotel terrace before or after a few hours at the tables.
