Concord Card Casino
Located in the district Simmering, the Concord Card Casino is (as you could have guessed from its name) a dedicated poker place with a longstanding and prestigious history.
The Concord Group itself has been founded in 1993 at the very same location the CCC Simmering still operates on. It has since gone on to become Europe's largest and best-known live poker company.
Big (and small) tournaments are held regularly at the venue in Simmering, and it is not uncommon to find oneself sitting next to a big player of the poker scene, Austrian celebrities or international stars (Ashton Kutcher and Demi More have dropped by in the past, really!) when playing there.
The CCC is open for players 24/7 and offers any poker type and limit that finds enough interested players. It does not require a particular dress code (neat casual is perfectly fine), and you might already be aware of one of its employees: CCC Simmering's long-time dealer and floorman Andreas Daniel plays the part of the dealer in James Bond: Casino Royale.
Where: Karl Gunsam Gasse 1, 1110 Vienna
Opening hours: all day, every day
