Casino Vienna started out in Favoritenstrasse, where it opened on 21 April 1961. It subsequently moved to Hotel de France on Schottenring in the city centre before transferring on 8 December 1968 to Palais Esterházy, the oldest building in Kärntner Strasse, where it remains today.

While the palais was being renovated, the gaming operations were moved temporarily in 1973 to the Radetzky Apartments in the Wiener Hofburg and in summer 1990 to the Grand Hotel on Kärntner Ring. Finally, in April 1991, 30 years after the original opening, operations were resumed in Palais Esterházy.

Two years later the Jackpot Café opened on the ground floor as a combined coffee house / slot machine casino. Guests can also eat outdoors in summer.

Velden was the fifth Austrian casino to open, on 14 July 1950. The continuous addition of new games and promotion of the casino as a tourist attraction quickly led to a sharp rise in the number of visitors. This made it necessary to enlarge the premises, and in summer 1974 an outdoor gaming area was set up, consisting initially of two tables. As it was not possible to enlarge the existing premises any further, construction of a new casino building was started in November 1987.
Admission is free. On admission every guest receives a bonus ticket enabling welcome chips worth € 25 to be purchased for € 21.

A new tower-like building in the north-west corner of the hotel was erected in 1980 for slot machines. The “Münzturm”, as it is known locally, is designed in the local style and has become one of the landmarks of Seefeld. In autumn 1989 a further 800 m² extension was completed.

Casino Salzburg, the second Austrian casino, opened on 1 July 1934 in Schloss Mirabell. It closed down during the Second World War and reopened in July 1950. As it grew larger, it became necessary to move to new premises and so the casino took up residence in 1977 in Café Restaurant Winkler on the Mönchsberg overlooking the city.
More and more visitors came to the casino and new games were introduced so that a further enlargement became necessary. The additional premises at Schloss Klessheim were so popular that Casinos Austria decided to make it the casino’s permanent home.
