Aachen is the real card room of the MERKUR group in North Rhine-Westphalia, and the only one of the five open houses whose poker offer is described purely as player-versus-player. The casino deals cash games every day from 19:00 across up to seven tables, and names Texas Hold'em and Omaha as the variants. Unlike Duisburg, Monheim and Hohensyburg, no house-banked Heads-Up Hold'em appears under its poker heading at all.

Tournaments do run — the house publishes a check-in rule of 45 minutes before the start — but no schedule, buy-in or guarantee is published on the site. That is a gap a reader cannot close from the web: the casino directs all poker enquiries and reservations to its reception line, open daily from 12:00.

The casino is part of the Tivoli complex on Krefelder Straße, beside the Alemannia Aachen stadium and a short drive from the Dutch and Belgian borders, which makes it the most convenient licensed German room for players in Maastricht, Liège and Heerlen.

The building opens daily from 10:00 to 04:00. The classic tables, poker included, run from 18:00 to 02:00 Sunday to Thursday and 18:00 to 03:00 on Friday and Saturday. A day ticket costs 5 euros. Entry is from age 18 and requires a passport or a national identity card — EU citizens may use either, other nationals need a passport, and driving licences are not accepted. The house is closed on Good Friday, All Saints' Day, Volkstrauertag, Totensonntag, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
