Germany's land-based casinos operate in the Spielbanken format according to the rules of each land: licenses and supervision are carried out by land authorities, and the management model ranges from state-owned companies to private concessions.
Casinos offer tables (roulette, blackjack, poker) and machine rooms, with mandatory age/personality checks, advertising restrictions and RG measures (self-exclusion, limits, staff training).
Spielhallen (entertainment machines outside the casino) are regulated more strictly: requirements for distances, the number of devices and prohibitions for minors.
The tax burden and fees (casino levy) are set by the lands, and the general regulatory framework is synchronized with federal anti-laundering and player protection regulations.
