There is no Spielbank in Munich itself, only Spielhalle (machine rooms without live tables) are found in the city. For roulette/blackjack/poker go to the nearest Bavarian casinos:

Spielbank Bad Wiessee (Tegernsee) - about 53-61 km from Munich (the road ~ 1-1.5 hours depending on transport).
Spielbank Garmisch-Partenkirchen - about 89-90 km from Munich (train ~ 1: 03-1: 23, car ~ 1 hour).

A list of all Bavarian Spielbanken (9 locations by land) is available on the official Spielbanken Bayern website.

Practical tips before the visit

1. Passport/ID and 18 +. Verification of identity is mandatory. For Berlin, get ready for the €2 entry fee.

2. Dress code. In historical and central houses - "smart casual" (jacket is welcome). Check the information on the site page.

3. Table/poker schedule. Live tables usually start in the evening; poker - on the event/cache grid. Check the Poker/Events sections at the desired branch.

4. Responsible play. All Spielbanken operate under strict player protection rules (age, identification, limits). Follow a personal budget and take breaks.

Berlin and Hamburg are convenient cities for visiting licensed casinos with classics and poker, both have four sites within the city.

Munich is an exception: there is no casino in the city, but beautiful Bavarian Spielbanken on Lake Tegernsee (Bad Wiessee) and in the Alps (Garmisch) are available an hour and a half away.
