Casino Ambassador

Intro

Known as one of the oldest existing casinos in Prague, Czech Republic, Casino Ambassador describes itself as a reliable environment to play. Holding the reputation as an honest gaming scene, this place has been welcoming guests since 1992.

The person in charge of the “birth” of this grandiose casino is an economist from Prague, who used to work for the State Travel Agency of Czechoslovakia. Having travelled around the world and talked to people beyond the iron fence that once surrounded his country, he realized that Prague needed a real casino.

Aware that good location plays an important role, he selected 5-star Hotel Ambassador, situated in the very heart of Prague at Wenceslas Square. Representing the commercial and administrative center of the city, this square is also known as the site of important social and historical events that took place in the Czech Republic.

Due to specific circumstances, there were no qualified workers from the casino industry in the country. To make sure the business ran smoothly, managers and croupiers were imported from countries that already had stable and well-developed gambling sectors, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

In terms of entertainment options, this establishment offers quite an impressive selection of poker games, more than enough to meet the needs of the most demanding players. In addition to this, it is equipped with a wide range of slot machines and table games, altogether representing a great destination for all profiles of consumers.

No entry fee is needed to enter the premises, but one must complete the registration process. All it takes is proof of ID, so to prevent underage gambling, and a couple of basic details.

Let’s not forget to mention that Casino Ambassador is part of the H&Hotels Group family, a hotel company with a long tradition in the tourism market. Opening its doors in the same year as the casino, it has a large network of three-star and four-star hotels not only in Prague but outside the city as well.

Presenting itself as an upscale casino equipped with classic gambling games, Casino Ambassador offers an excellent selection of poker games, all-time favorite table games, and new-generation slot machines.

Players can have fun testing their skills on Texas Hold’em, which comes with a minimum bet of 10 CZK (approximately EUR 0.5) and an unlimited max bet. Oasis Poker is part of the offer as well, with a minimum bet of 100 CZK and a maximum bet of 3.000 CZK.

Situated in one of the main city squares, the casino has an ideal location, at least from the perspective of those who like to explore city attractions. Named after the patron saint of Bohemia, Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) represents the historic center of Prague, a World Heritage Site. A funny thing to mention is that the square was formerly known as Koňský trh (Horse Market), for its periodic accommodation of horse markets during the Middle Ages.

On the other hand, if none of these is your cup of tea, no problem, there’s plenty more you can do here. Pay a visit to the National Museum, or Mucha Museum, where the collection of works by the Czech Art Nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha is exhibited. Admire the colorful baroque buildings, and Gothic churches, and don’t miss the opportunity to stop by the medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show.

Other must-visit attractions include Charles Bridge where you can listen to street musicians or get a souvenir, and Old Town Square full of buildings that resemble those found in classic fairy tales. Prague is also a fantastic destination for beer lovers and a great choice for romantic souls who like river cruises. Vltava, the longest river in the Czech Republic, runs through Prague.
